Even though yesterday seemed like it was one of the busiest days in my recent memory, there were several distinct moments when I just felt like it was a good day.
After some rain this morning the sun made it out and it was unseasonably warm. I had to run a couple errands around town, but they weren’t going to take all that long so I got to grab a quick but delicious lunch out of the office and enjoy the sun (in January.)
A new 2012 calendar for my office. (I ordered mine from here.)
New books from the library.
Browsing through this magazine.
Making burrito bowls for “the band.” (I’ll explain later.)

Thank you for cultivating my love of movie theater popcorn and big purses. I think I’m going to try and bring back the term pocketbook just for you. I will always remember, pocketbooks are for sneaking other food into movie theaters (besides the popcorn) and for dressing up. The kind of dressing up a 4-year old does when they find a pretty dress, never mind that it is 8 sizes to big for them, they will wear it to McDonald’s and walk around saying hello to everyone in the place and telling them about her dress and the candy hidden in her pocketbook.
Thank you for having wiener dogs. Sam and Pippin are glad you had them too.
Thank you for crying the few times I was able to see you as an adult. I still cry at pretty much everything and it is comforting to think that I’m not going to run out of tears as I get older. Tears are not bad things.
I should have called more, specifically this past Christmas and I’m sorry I didn’t. I hope you know I was thinking about you and my well-wishes were in those my Dad sent down your way that day.
I hope you found peace as you passed. I hope you’re comfortable now. I hope you’re with all those you’ve loved that left this place before you.
And I hope you know, you will certainly be missed. We love you Mimi.
