1. Tap class, which was an awesome workout tonight.

2. Taxes are gone! Woohoo!

3. Blueberry bagels.

4. Pandora Online Radio, a recent and awesome discovery!

5. Walking home from tap class with the husband, under an umbrella.

Monday graces

1. A wonderfully warm sunny day.

2. A salad made from vegetables entirely from the farmer's market. Such a good dinner!

3. Being able to finish all of this week's church history reading today. Now if I could just read everything for Prophets...

4. Getting to know my new phone. It's getting easier to use.

5. An afternoon nap.

Palm Sunday

1. Palm Sunday services at Salem. Surprisingly, today was my first Palm Sunday service at Salem. In 2006, the husband and I were still searching for churches. In 2007, my best friend was married over Easter weekend and I was the matron of honor in the ceremony. In 2008, I was in St. Louis, helping out my mother-in-law who was recovering from back surgery. I loved this morning's service. It was beautiful, uplifting, yet sad all at the same time. I cannot wait for celebrating Easter!

2. An impromptu date day with the husband. I had plans with the youth minister's wife, but she had to cancel since she had to catch up on schoolwork. So the husband and I went out for lunch at a great Mom & Pop pizza place and saw a movie. It was wonderfully random!

3. I got a new cell phone. I totally think it could do laundry and the dishes. I just have to find an application! iPhones are fun, yet sort of overwhelming!

4. Being able to eat a bowl of Cheerios for dinner, and no one telling me 'no.'

5. Coffee. Sweet, sweet coffee.

Saturday graces.

1. The Burbank farmer's market. One of the best places to buy produce!

2. A new take on the grilled cheese sandwich. The husband and I used cinnamon raisin bread, and used apple slices and sharp cheddar for the filling. It was really, really, really good.

3. Taxes are done!

4. Today was a beautiful and sunny (but not overwhelmingly hot) day. Great for a walk to the grocery store.

5. Being able to get a weekend paper again. I've been without it for a couple of weeks...

Friday...

1. The husband and I went out for a walk to Kenneth Village. We wandered around a new Armenian market. We also stopped at the pet store, and a cute bunny was in the window.

2. Taking a nice, long afternoon nap.

3. A fish sandwich with extra tartar sauce. Wonderful...

4. Clean clothes from the dry cleaner! Yea for clean clothes!!!

5. Getting a brain check.

Magnificent

1. Getting to spend part of the afternoon with Rona. I'm happy she came to Fuller and that we became friends, but I'm sad that she's going back to the Philippines tomorrow. I don't know when we'll see each other again. We met after class and drove to Glendale singing the Spice Girls' "Wannabe." Our first stop was to get frozen yogurt. Then we had the brilliant idea of getting a pizookie at BJ's Brewhouse immediately after eating frozen yogurt. Spending time with Rona was so worth the crazed sugar rush.

2. Interesting classes this quarter. It's a bit daunting with all of the reading for both classes, but I've had a hard time putting down what I've been reading for the past couple of days.

3. Sitting on the couch with the husband, eating leftover Chinese takeout, watching "Gilmore Girls" DVDs. We've made it to the second disc of the second season. It's nice to have some down time together.

4. Seeing more friends on campus today; it's been fun to catch up with people!

5. Finding my orange Camelback bottle when I thought I left it on campus.

Wednesday happenings

1. Rona's mom is alright. They had a health scare last night and went to Glendale Adventist; because Rona's mom has Kaiser health insurance, they trucked them out all the way to Bellflower very early this morning. I got a call from Rona in the afternoon letting me know her mom was okay. I drove to Bellflower to pick them up. Rona's mom is now resting comfortably at home.

2. Chinese take-out. A lot of celebrations have been delayed in this household. We're starting the celebrating tonight.

3. U2 tickets for October 25th at the Rose Bowl. Yea for pre-sales!

4. Skyping for the first time with my college roommate. I miss her so much!

5. Hugs from the husband.
