Blog for Blog's Sake

I've been awful this month, haven't I? I've either been busy, didn't have anything to say, or a little of column A and a little of column B. There are a lot of political things I could say, but something tells me I'm preaching to the choir and honestly, there comes a point when I'm just exhausted with the whole thing. I'm not done fighting by any means, but it's gosh darn frustrating!

The sun is shining today which I think means a happy blog is in order. It's funny how easy it is to pick something unhappy to talk about compared with something uplifting. It's not that I'm perpetually gloomy. Well then, let's talk about the sun.

I've missed you, sun. I've missed the bounce you put in my step. I missed the smile you unwaveringly place on my lips. And most of all I missed your radiant warmth. Actually, I still miss that. One thing about living in Chicago, it really makes me appreciate you in a way that Florida never did.

How about cats. Cats make me happy on a regular basis. I've really come into my own as a cat person. I used to deny it. No, I like dogs but cats are easier to take care of, I'd say. The truth is, I like cats better. We're both solitary, moody, intelligent, and lovable (right Sergio?). I get cats and cats get me. I mean, if you think about it, I'm basically a cat in human form. I like to nap. I like to eat. I enjoy seafood. I'm a fan of snuggling. But I'm not a crazy cat woman. Promise. I mean, I only have one. Just because I said I was for all intents and purposes a cat doesn't mean I'm crazy. I'll just stop now.

Money. I don't have it now, but when I do it's awesome. I'm planning on moving soon and all I can think about is the wonderful amounts of cash I'll be saving. And I will be saving too. Few things thrill me more than watching my money market slowly expand. I feel like Scrooge McDuck counting his gold coins and boy does it feel good. I don't think it's a greed thing. It's more of a, if I keep doing this maybe I can one day fulfill my dream of building a LEED certified house with bamboo floors and solar panels kind of thing.

So there you go folks, happy things.
