It's hoaky, but it works

If I want to be in a slightly better mood, I try to think of things I'm looking forward to that happen in differnet time increments. Here's what I've got right now:

> 1 hour
* My next cup of coffee. It's really good this morning, and it's the perfect day for coffee (rainy, dark, but with birds chirping-what this has to do with coffee, I don't know, but it fits)

* Getting internet in my apartment. I will finally be able to move my comptuer from this one-square-foot of bed where I get my stolen reception from


> 12 hours

* My building super is coming to do repairs. I made a nice little typed list for him. There are 10 items, and I even made a spot for him to sign and date it when the repairs are completed. Anal? Yes. Smart? Yes.

* Going to The DaVinci Code with V. This one is a little up in the air since I didn't buy my tickets ahead of time...

> 24 hours

* Sleeping in tomorrow


> Week

* Having my job finalized by Monday. I was offered the position, but there's still a little bit of doubt as to whether or not the position will actually be availalbe. Crazy publlic school systems.

* Personal training session with Richard. He is huge and kind of mean looking, but when he talks he's like a little kid. And then he makes me run uphill and I hate him.

* Kristin arrives on Wednesday. I'm most excited about this, especially because she's the first person to visit me in NYC (other than my parents). We will definitely be painting the town red. (What does that even mean?)

* Field trip to American Museum of Natural History - Kristin and I will be chaperones for this field trip. It's a Brooklyn High School, and the trip is about 70 kids.


> Month

* My sofa will be delivered next Saturday. Sitting on folding camping chairs has been fun (gotta love the cupholder in the chair), but I long for the furry soft goodness of a great sofa.

* Jess returns. It's been way too long since I've been yelled at repeatedly for not drinking or talking enough - simultaneously.

* Carrie is visiting on Monday, May 30. She just bought her ticket last night, so I'm still in that "new excitement" stage. We will also paint the town, but maybe in a different color than red. Purple, perhaps? Is it possible to paint the town "drunk"?

* Job science training begins June 5.

* Actual job training begins June 19.


> 6 months

* My Birthday

* School starting

* Autumn (the best season, by far)


... and a lot of other stuff. But, I'm tired of writing this blog, and you're probably tired of reading it.
