1. Husband somehow wound up on John McCain's mailing list. The man is a lifelong, committed Democrat. He is never going to give money to a douche bag like McCain. Every time I find an envelope from the McCain campaign in our mail box, I think of the money they wasted sending him materials. The return envelope is one of those "No postage necessary if mailed in the United States" deals. Would it not be awesome to wrap it around a brick and send it back? Mwa ha ha ha ha.
2. Going back to school at an "older" age. When I went for my MPA, I was only 22. I didn't feel confident enough to speak up on certain issues or challenge others, so I didn't say anything. This time around, I am just as eager to learn, but I'm also not willing to sit on my opinion. Plus, I care not a whit about grades. I just want to do my best and see what happens. It's liberating.
3. My pink John Fluevog boots. And the fact that I did not pay anything near $305 for them a few years ago. (I bought them on clearance, although now I'm shitting myself at what it will cost to replace them some day.)
4. On a perfect sunny day in the mid-70s, I hopped the subway to see St. Demetrios' ankle bone. (First I went to the dentist, though. No cavaties!)
5. The good people I continue to meet in person and online.

your boots are pink? I thought I remembered them black ;-)
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you move to London, replacing them will only cost 150 . . .
I have two pairs - one is black with buckles, and the other is pink with no buckles. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how being older = not giving a shit about what people think. Ya gotta love it.
ReplyDeleteI want a photo of you with the pink boots. Way cool.
I would most definitely send those post-paid envelopes back. Stick an Obama brochure in them or something. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely send those postage envelopes back. Put your junk mail in them. Every penny they spend on postage is less money they can spend on campaigning. It's your patriotic duty!:)
