Small stuff that I am grateful for today: nights when the sky is perfectly clear like tonight, unlike the night I was trying to take a good pic of the Wolf Moon. But I had fun playing with my camera anyway.

Small stuff that I am grateful for today: Having a home to come home to (even if it’s later than I wanted to get home).

Bonus: Knowing that that’s not really such small stuff.

Small stuff that I am grateful for today: Getting a laugh as I reached for my favorite pie. Actually, I had no intention of purchasing a Hubig’s today (even though they are so tasty), since I knew I had almost an entire King Cake waiting for me at home, but I am a complete sucker for a cute marketing idea. And yes, I’ve definitely gotten caught up in the Who Dat Nation excitement!

Bonus: Duh, a Hubig’s!

Small stuff that I am grateful for today: King Cake. I mean, really, is there anything more to say ’bout dat?

Bonus: Dude, check out all that extra icing in the center!!! Do I know how to pick ‘em or what? (High-pitched squeal!)

Small Stuff #33: Movies delivered to my door February 3, 2010

Small stuff that I am grateful for today: Netflix. While not technically delivered to my door because I live in a motor home, don’t have a mailbox, and really, I’m not even sure if I have an actual address, I do get excited when I go to the post office and find that red Netflix envelope tucked in amongst the rest of the mail. Even more so since many moons ago I gave up on the idea of trying to get a television signal in my home on wheels. For the most part, I don’t really miss television. I did feel a bit out of the loop yesterday, however, when I was in a meeting with a bunch of folks and someone mentioned “pants on the ground”, every one started laughing, and I had absolutely no idea what that meant. But hey, that’s what YouTube is for right? But generally speaking, I enjoy being more deliberate in what I subject my brain to, especially commercials. And tonight, while not technically a movie, I am excited about subjecting my brain to Big Love. I love that show. Actually, I’m pretty much a sucker for anything HBO. I mean, it’s not television, it’s HBO, right?

Small stuff that I am grateful for today: Having the honor and privilege to meet with some dedicated local community members to kick off what I believe will be a pretty darn cool project and more.

Bonus: Having the opportunity to learn a little community history and getting a new book (straight from the hands of the author) that will help me learn a whole lot more about my community’s history.

Small stuff that I am grateful for today: completing my first month of small stuff. (Ok, well, kinda sorta. Yes, I know I had to kind of cheat a couple of times and combine a few days, but it wasn’t for lack of desire, it was for lack of an interweb signal or the lack of desire to pay $12.99 a day for an interweb signal. Ok, so maybe it was a lack of desire. But, $12.99 a day, come on people, that’s just hotel robbery! I mean, money doesn’t grow on trees ya know. Oh great, now I sound like my Dad. Alright, maybe I should just wrap this up for the night. I’m tired and my brain hurts. Does anybody else’s brain hurt? Why do things have to be so complicated? Or are things really simple and we humans just think we need to complicate them? And why does it so feel so complicated to think about why things are so complicated? Why can’t we just all get along and sing a nice round of Kumbaya? Like around a nice camp fire? We could make s’mores. I mean how can you not get along with someone and see eye-to-eye while singing folk songs and eating tasty chocolately, marshmellowy, gramham crackery goodness? Oh great, now I’m hungry. But I’m also really tired. Should I eat something or just go to bed and hope that my brain will stop hurting? Or should I eat something and then go to bed and hope that my brain will stop hurting? Geez, is it really only like 7:15 PM? Why does it feel so much later? Is it too early to go to bed? Why do I feel slightly guilty about going to bed so early even when I’m so tired? And why am I so tired? Am I tired because my brain hurts? Or does my brain hurt because I’m so tired? And really, why is the sky blue? And is it really blue? What is blue anyway? Is my blue the same as your blue? Probably not since I seem to have some color-blindness issues. Seriously, I really do think it’s time to crawl in to bed and put an end to this day. What do you think?)
