Five reasons to smile even though my co-workers are bitches

Here is my random list of things that make me happier than they should:

~New office supplies.
New pens that still have the ink showing in the quill, notebooks that have never been written in, and more specifically the new glowing pink jar of SortKwik sitting in front of me promising to save me from having to lick my fingers every time someone brings me their nasty, dirty motions to clock, and at least a million paper cuts.

~Watching my boyfriend scarf up anything that I cook.
Whether its rice crispy treats, muffins, cookies, a Jack and Coke (okay, so you don't cook a Jack and Coke, but he says I make them perfectly, so they're goin' on my list), or Campbell's everything-but-the-chicken-in-the-box Herb Chicken. Big damn deal that everything I am capable of preparing is practically pre-prepared anyway! Watching the boy wolf it down like he hasn't eaten in weeks, wiping his mouth, grinning, giving me a kiss, and saying "that was amazing, thank you Beautiful" makes me feel like a five-star sioux chef, instead of the domestically challenged disaster that I am.

~Good hair days
Enough said.

~School starting next week.
Honestly I had thought my classes didn't start until the first week of September, so naturally when I found out that my first class is next week, I almost suffered a massive heart attack. After the initial shock and making five to six frantic phone calls to my boss, doctor's office, and campus book store, I am again calm. I cannot wait to dive head first into learning historically significant dates that I will promptly forget after the first test; why women don't need men and shall someday rule the world, using out counterparts only for reproductive purposes; and last but not least, a refresher course about why I never need to be refreshed on the definition of an isosceles (is that how you spell isosceles?) triangle.

~Bad grammar.
No matter how much I improve and tune my writing skills, I will always endear the fact that I have no concrete understanding of where commas and semi-colons belong.
