* a warm, firm, dark, handsome gentleman named burger, boca burger. my newest obsession and lover!
* handwashing delicates (i just love getting my hands wet like that! it helps calm me down sometimes and reminds me of the things i have.)
* the ability to use what i have. i have a job now. at mcdonalds. when asked if i have any questions, i said 'well, about those hats...' and unknowingly gave 'the look' (that pouty one.. you know it..) he replied 'oh karen, please don't give me that look.' i said 'ok, i'm going to give you that look one more time' and i tried my best to remember the look i gave him. i tried to repeat it, and apparently i did. i'll be working in a place where i won't have to wear that dreadful hat. yes, i'm a girl. yes, i used that to my benefit. and hel* yes, i'm proud of that!
* nice shampoo. nice conditioner. new toothpaste. cigarettes in the freezer. music playing on the dvd player. clean clothes. fresh pineapple in the fridge. a fridge to keep cucumbers in. carrots. boca burgers. money to buy boca burgers. a car to drive. a stereo in the car, even if it only works half the time, if i hit it just right. university. student loans so i can go to university. topamax so i can go to university. forgetfulness. clumsiness (hey, it makes me cuter). being cute. thinking i'm cute. mirrors to reassure i'm cute. my brain. the mindset to think i'm cute. telephones. very sweet people. very sweet people who call me on the telephone. doctors. lawyers. police officers who let me slide on speeding tickets. police officers who give me seat belt tickets (they must care about my safety, no?). tap water. toilets. camping. tents. chairs that swivel. musicians (oh yes! musicians!!!) musicians! (did i already say that? then, they get mentioned twice! maybe even three times!)
* the gods shine down on me every once in a while! it happened today! i took a shower. had plenty of pretty smelling soap. but, first i realized i look cute even when i first awoke (and i'm so very glad that i'm now in the mind set to realize i'm cute. i've not always been that way. life is so much better when you love yourself instead of hate yourself!). so, i now have razors. a nice, close shave is always wonderful. then, a brand new bottle of nice shampoo and conditioner. a satin robe to wear while i'm putting on my makeup. for some reason, my make up went on perfect! the gods love me today.. what did i do? so, i dried my hair. and it too looked perfect. hmmmm, i'm feeling suspicious now. off to get dressed. found the perfect outfit on the first try. a pink, gold, grey and purple plaid mini and a pink shirt and gold go go boots. i never even knew i had this shirt, but i'm thrilled.... another perfect day. and!!!! i got the rest of my books in the mail.... the gods love me, i love the gods (and goddesses of course, lest i forget).
* i'm nice enough to clean my dog's crap out of other people's yard. when i take my dog for a walk, i notice that other people walking their dogs don't carry around plastic bags. hmmm.... do they just leave the crap in the other people's yards? isn't that rude? hmmmm... i have no problem walking a few blocks with a baggie of dog crap in one hand. no problem at all. why do other people?
* my laugh. i'm learning to love that cackle. others may cringe (and believe me, they do) but, i'm learning to laugh even louder when i hear my own laugh.
* sexy voices. good grief, they make me melt. no matter what people look like, it's the voice that matters. everyone's sexy if they have a glorious voice.
* thank the world for dancers. how i appreciate them. personally, i can't dance to save my life, i can barely walk. but those dancers (miss honey, how do you do it? i'm in awe!!!!) i could watch all day long...
* my old man coming home in a good mood. asking 'why are you so dressed up' and me answering 'for you' me saying 'i should be a dancer except i'm clumsy and have no rhythm' and him laughing and answering 'well, i think that's everything to dancing'.... playing drums on his belly. turning the music up loud and trying to dance (it's very very very bad). but, he does the robot and sometimes acts like a monkey. it's very funny. but, i still have a knot in my stomach, waiting for the mood to change. cross my fingers and stay positive with me :)
