3 Things I Love Today

1. That I am switching this up to be daily instead of weekly! Have you caught on to that? When I get to Tuesdays there is always something I thought was awesome that I just can't remember anymore. Lost to the ether! More importantly, I write this blog to focus on the positives of my life (and to write about something other than my dissertation), so this seems like the most effective part of the exercise. So there!

2.  McKayla Maroney's Vault at Today's Olympics- I am truly obsessed with the Olympics this year (life is strange), but nothing has blown me away like that vault did. She was truly awe-inspiringly, goose-bumperly amazing. I can't find the clip yet, but you should go find it because with her one event, that teenage girl put her team in a lead the other gymnasts just couldn't keep up with.

3. This seahorse cake- somebody's birthday is this week! Sad I can't be with her, so I am looking up cheesy cutesy birthday stuff I will do the next time I am home for her birthday!

5 Things I Love This Week- Weekend Away Edition

1. Diggery Doos Falling out of People's Vans- This happened. Out of this van. And then the guy walked around the parking lot spirit dancing. Apparently all of the hippies they ran out of Silicon Valley landed further north, because their amazingness is everywhere up there.

 2. The Entrance to the Redwood Forests- This is not what you imagine when you think of National Forests. A Big beautiful beach. It was a good shock.

3. Fern Gully- We actually saw where they shot a lot of the Ewok stuff from the third Star Wars movies. And the rock from the Goonies. And where they shot a bunch of Jurassic Park 2. And the Boy felt we discovered Fern Gully. Apparently the Redwood Forests is like second Hollywood.
4. The world's largest crab cakes ever- Yes, this happened too. From the Trinidad Eatery in Trinidad. They were like the size of my face. We couldn't finish them. I literally had like one bite of my dinner. There was like a whole crab in each of them, and they were super delicious. 10 out of 10, except that we both felt major eating guilt afterwards.

5. Cows free roaming on the side of Highway 1- Yes, it is random, but we watched an illegal passer almost hit a cow. Then I honked my horn (I saved the cow's life!), and got them running, Red River style. Sadly, the cows did not trample the doushey passing person's car.

3 Things I Love Today

1. My new Computer- I am still getting used to my new hp, but it is nice to have a computer that I can trust. Also, now there are way fewer ticka ticka noises. I love it.

2. Male Gymnasts' Floor Routines- Apparently the Americans didn't blow the competition away, but they definitely blew my mind. They were like twice their height up in the air! They landed by doing summersaults! Seriously, I have a whole new respect for this sport.

3. Being finished with the programs- And good riddance to them. On to more projects!
