Welcome to “things that make me go Squee”.
After “cleaning out the pipes” yesterday by venting for WTF Wednesday, I’m ready to “squee with glee”.
In honor of Pop Fiend’s attempt at decreasing drama for at least one day a week on LiveJournal by promoting “Drama Free Thursday” (for those who aren’t aware, my blog is crossposted to LiveJournal, my self hosted WordPress blog, Blogspot, and Facebook), I offer up my own “special” (in a rode the short bus kind of way) contribution, “Things that Make Me go Squee!!!
* Things that make me go squee!” may has become a regular Thursday spectacle production because “Squee” rhymes with “Drama Free”, and I’m trying to do my part.
I think that almost everyone occasionally forgets to celebrate and share good things. I know I do.
So in the spirit of putting “good juju” out there, here are the current things that make me go “SQUEE!!!”
Saturday Night is WINE HOG!!! If you don’t have or lost your invite, email or message me and I’ll send you one. Please remember that it’s not at my place this year. If you show up at my apartment you’ll be lonely.
Here are some pictures from previous years.
I had an awesome ride with the Cascade Bicycle Club on Sunday which gave me a total of 162.1 miles for January (that mileage counted biking, swimming, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, running and spinning)
I had an awesome ride with the Tacoma Wheelmen on Monday It’s nice to be back on the bike
I finally got some San Francisco sourdough culture (there are very specific bacteria/yeast combinations in regional sourdough) and it’s proofing nicely. Maybe by Saturday I’ll be able to make some whole wheat sourdough bread.
I’m all signed up to be a Ride Ref for Chilly Hilly. Since the Cascade Bicycle Club doesn’t use medical riders (or bandaid wookies as Leo likes to call me) on that ride, I’ll still get to hang out with these clowns like I do on the STP… (Michael and Leo) I’ll just have to wear unattractive stripes to do it.
Tonight is a potluck event at Speakeasy. It’s way too late for me to eat on my schedule (5:00 AM wakeup call) and I can’t stay for the whole thing, but it will be fun to see everyone and hang out for a while.
and here’s a HUGE HUGE SQUEE!!! One of my very BEST FRIENDS in the world, Bonnie Jo (who I met when we both worked in Utah, she for Dead Horse Point State Park and myself for Canyonlands National Park) and who now lives in South Dakota, is coming to Washington State for a visit!!! I am so incredibly EXCITED!!!
She’ll be visiting family in Port Angeles, so I’m going to drive out there on Sunday afternoon & spend the night.
We haven’t seen each other for about seven years…
These photos were taken on my last trip to Moab back in 2003
And here are little smilies for all the squees left unsqueed
And of course, the greatest squee of all…
I am blessed to have really GREAT friends in my life
And you can see a lot of them here… (if I don’t have a picture of you here, send me one)
Insert “squee” of your choice here
I wish everyone a happy and drama free Thursday, as well as lots of things to go “Squee” over.
SKA-WEEEEEEEEE
Now, I’ve got to get back to work, break’s over…
