what up, wednesday.

As Seinfield was a show about nothing, thus is this blog post.  [I never really got into Seinfield; I didn’t really understand it.  Bet you have real high hopes for this post now, eh?  Not.]  I think I’ll talk about the good things of today, I thought as I walked up to campus for a meeting.  I wanted alliteration in the title (always good) but ‘wonderful wednesday’ was a little too rainbows and gumdrops for my taste.  So I go gangster on you instead.  [Right, you think.  Lindsay?  Gangster?  Synonymous with DON’T GO TOGETHER.]

what up, wednesday. *head tilts back in oh-so-cool acknowledgement*

What’s up today?

A date [okay, appointment] with Brentt, my hair stylist;  

AND lunch out with Katja, M.’s mom;

AND plans to spend lots of time crafting with M. next week while she’s on spring break;  

AND a new-to-me fondue pot, courtesy of Katja; 

AND the watching of last night’s Glee, which I really appreciated and enjoyed;

AND p. 12 of the Concord, Luther Seminary’s student paper; 

[Who’s that girl with the snarky look?  Yup.]

AND a meeting about my children, youth, and family thesis, which I’m now totally excited to write;  

[Who’s the crazy lady who likes to write papers?  Yup.]

AND it was sunny and nearly fifty and I wore flip flops;

AND stopping at Starbucks to chat with friend, Cassie, while my eyes were dilated after an eye exam;

AND time to quilt tonight;

AND should I keep going?

What’s on your what up, wednesday list?  

I hope you can mentally make a list like this for your own day.  It’s not to say that your whole day has to be peaches and ice cream; mine wasn’t.  [And peaches and ice cream?  Why would I use such a comparison?  Ack.  No thanks.]  I could have told you how I shelled out lots of money for an eye exam and contacts on top of it.  I might have mentioned the load of midterms I feel weighing upon me.  I could have talked about any number of things that didn’t go spectacularly on this day like the matching blisters on each of my pinky toes due to a pair of shoes.  

But eh.  Why focus my energy there?  Not today.  Not worth it.  Instead –

[Easier said than done.  But let’s give it a try.]
