-my bike. Freckles needs a few updates, but he's pretty great. He's no Tatters though. I miss Tatters.
-running into Ellie on my way to brunch. It was lovely to see her.
-brunch with Kat. It was lovely. Last time was so hard that it was such a wonderful change. Things seemed to be going well for her and the kids. I didn't ask about what happened last time and she didn't say anything. And you know what, that's okay. We're gonna try to brunch it once a month. I love that idea a lot. I hope we can do it! It's just once a month. That ain't no thang.
-the fantastic weather. I mean crazy awesome. The sun was shinning, the sky was soo blue, which made everything so green. Man. I feel so fantastic when the weather is nice.
-podcasts
-the afternoon all to myself. I sat outside in my back yard and read and basked in the sun. I watched Mars Attack. I mean, how fitting considering it's fathers day and it's one of my dad's favorite movies. I have to say, I haven't seen it in a really long time, and it's pretty good. I was too young to appreciate it before, but I understand why my dad likes it so much. It's so silly and stupid. And so star studded. Anyway, that was my awesome afternoon
-babysitting Oscar. He actually slept the whole time! He woke up once kind of, but after I rocked him for about 10 minutes he was out for the rest of the time I was there. It was pretty great.
-getting a text from Amy that she got my package. I'm so glad it got to her. I'm also so glad she liked it!
-Jen buying me dinner. And dessert! It was one of the most amazing tarts I've ever eaten. Sooo good

*It's father's day after all. All over facebook people have been posting about their dads. Which is great, but what makes me a little annoyed is when people are like, "MY dad is the best dad in the world!" Or, "MY dad can beat up your dad!" Since when did it become a competition to have the best dad? It shouldn't be about best or worst. For those of us who have had great experiences with our fathers, we should be banning together and celebrating that. Not trying to one up one another. I'm sure father's day is hard for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. I want to honor that. I think this day should also be in celebration of the people who have had struggles with their fathers. Or for people who maybe one day want to be a father. Or who maybe didn't have a father who was present in their lives. Or who remember their fathers who are no longer around. Those people need to be celebrated on this day too.
In addition to all those people I would also like to take a moment and share that I am so grateful that I have been fortunate enough to have a present father. He's been a role model for me in so many ways. He's kind, compassionate, hilarious, odd, a goof ball, and knows what he wants and is not afraid of working to get it. He's taught me so many life lessons that I try to incorporate into my life on a daily basis, but the biggest one that he really ingrained in me was the Golden Rule. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I felt like he repeated that saying to me every day as a child. I'm glad he did. What a great rule to live by. Thanks, Padre. You're a really kick ass dude.
