Happy Monday. Enjoy this list of things I like.
1. Rainy days
Its been one of those April weeks where it rains a lot. I honestly don't mind it, it reminds me of Europe. Also sleeping through a thunderstorm is my favorite. I honestly think it makes me sleep better.
2. Lisa Frank
Because baby animals, bright colors, and glitter have a special place in my nostalgic heart. Plus I found a bunch of stickers at target for $0.30. Score. And if the question is, "Should I bring my Lisa Frank trapper keeper to my college class?" The answer is a most emphatic, "Yes."
Excuse me while I nerd out.
3. New journals
It's green.
Few things make me feel so accomplished as closing a journal after filling the last line. And few things fill me with such anxiety as putting the first ink stroke in a new one. Both are good things.
4. Getting mail with stamps
My dear friend Amy has been sending me letters, and they never fail to put a smile on my face. Rest assured Amy, I'm about half way through your letter and you will receive it in your mailbox soon (P.s. You're wonderful). Also if you would like to send me letters, and I deem you a worthy and trustworthy individual, I will gladly give you my address. And possibly return the favor.
5. Going new places, experiencing new things
I tried something new on Saturday, I went to a poetry slam. It was pretty awesome. Especially considering that I went into it genuinely knowing it was either going to be incredibly lame or utterly fantastic. Luckily, it leaned on the side of utterly fantastic. There was booing when the judges gave poor scores, and cheering when they gave great ones. I also noted that it's good for the soul to see new faces, go new places, and hear new voices.
6. Rainbow Aviators.
I may be jealous because my pineapple can pull them off better than I can.
Sometimes I get way too excited about silly things, and that is exactly what happened when I came across rainbow aviators for the first time. And rightfully so, I might add. These were given to me by my good friend Denton... Probably for saving his life or something like that. I'm not a hero, but these glasses certainly make me feel like one. *salutes* Gracias, señor.
But seriously...it's like seeing the world through all the filters on instagram, depending on which color you are looking through. Which is wonderful and distracting whilst driving.
7. Amazon.com
For obvious reasons.
8. Ok Go's Music videos
This is an always thing. If I'm having a humdrum day I like to make a stop by youtube and watch these insane music videos. They make me super happy. You should watch them, so they can make you super happy too.
9. Patterns
I'm always, always obsessed with crazy patterns. So I'm currently exploring that avenue. I mean, what's better than a pineapple? Approximately 126 pineapples displayed in an aesthetically pleasing way, obviously.
Still on pineapples.
10. Hatitude
Hatitude - The feeling of unmatched confidence one gets from wearing a killer hat.
Its a thing, tell your friends.
In conclusion, I will leave you with this 90's blessing.
May your day be brighter than your trapper keeper, and may its Velcro never wear out.
