pinch me

Allow me a list post, since I haven't done one in ages.

Things I'm sick of:

- Cleaning kitchen & dishes (don't mind the cooking or the eating!)
- Loud helicopters
- Being on the computer all the damn time
- Aran never putting things back where they're supposed to be
- Mosquitos & frizzy hair (and the summer is only just beginning...)
- Getting zits (41 is "middle-aged", goddamit)
- Migraines (this one belongs at the top but it's just too obvious)

Things that I am still or have of late been enjoying:

- Fresh peanuts in the shell (G is right now begging as I crack them)
- Not hearing about swine flu
- The enthusiasm & humour of awesome workmates
- G-dog's smile (her tongue-lolling, ears-up happy face)
- Gardenia season
- Cycling to work & appointments instead of facing subway crowds
- Aran's ever-chipper attitude and general sunniness (no matter how fowl my mood)
- Continuing to simplify the way we live and looking forward to doing that even further in the future

The silly:

- Awaiting the new season of True Blood
- Overdue for an episode of The Daily Show
- Planning on painting my toenails for the first time this year
- Want to try making cheese this week (labneh, aka yogurt cheese)
