The good and the bad

I missed a phone call from my cousin last night. He's been on an adventure down under, including New Zealand and whoknowswhere, for the past six months and I missed his call. I am very sad about that. I don't have a way to get back to him except email, since I believe he is using pay phones as his means of verbal communication. That was a low point. (Inset is an ode to my cousin and his girlfriend, their first date... of sorts.)

On the upside, however, I MASTERED THE ACT OF ADDING PHOTOS TO MY BLOG! This is a very exciting accomplishment because I will need to know the process in order to share my experience in Hawaii with you all. I also got a bit further on finalizing my stay in Hawaii, received the chance to write another article for a local magazine, and helped my boyfriend decorate his apartment a little bit more (I think more for my sanity than his). So it's been a fairly productive week so far.

After some thought, I think I'll add two entries to my daily posts: my drink of the day and my animal of the day. For those of you who know me, this shouldn't surprise you. For those who may not be so familiar, you'll have to understand I have a few odd-ball traits. One of which is to decide on an animal (a totem animal, if you will) that fits my mood/outlook/feelings of the day. So if I'm feeling mysterious and snuggly, I'd pick a cat. If I feel lazy and unproductive, I'd pick a walrus. If I want to feel cute and fuzzy, I'd pick a caterpillar. I'm sure you'll catch on. The drink of the day is something new, but something that I'm sure is the aftermath of being a barista for so long. It's just that so often, the drink you order also reflects your mood. At the very least, it reflects the weather (hot chai vs. iced raspberry tea), so you'll be able to gauge my activities for the day.

Today I am a 16oz chai and a lizard.

Well, I'm on to another sunny day here in Spokane. Hopefully it'll be productive.

John called you?! No fair!

Did you check out their latest blog post? You should get on there and post something so they will have a link to your blog.

Love you!

PS: You might want to set up a blogroll. That's something you add to the column alonside your blog posts that lists other peoples' blogs you like to read (you are listed on mine). It's a good way to increase readership among blogs. There is a tab for it under "layout".

I want to be a..... gray kitten today, but an intellectual kitten not a cuddly "mewey" one, you know?

I'll try the drink thing, I want to be a Long Island Iced Tea.
