friday love list: pathetic, pathetic girl edition
Oh, chilluns.
I’m sick.
Well, I’m getting there, at least.
I’m pretty sure this isn’t as bad as it will get. Not because I’m a pessimist, mind you — I AM THE LOVE LIST GIRL, YOU WILL REMEMBER — but because I know my body, and the radical congestion/chills/headache/fever combo is strangely reminiscent of… well… the beginning of the end.
Meh.
Tonight, my parents are coming to get me to take me back to the cozy cottage before a day trip tomorrow, so I’ll be free to be (you and me?) whiny and pathetic with my mom, and it will be AWESOME.
I’m sure she’s excited. (cough)
UPDATE: Cancelled. My mom’s back is out. Aren’t we an awesome pair? THINK GOOD THOUGHTS ABOUT MY MOM’S BACK.
I’m going to push through today like a trooper, though, all wrapped up in a pashmina, contributing to deforestation with rampant Kleenex usage, and pretending that espresso has healing properties like, say…aloe.
THE ALOE OF THE SOUL.
AND — to help me not be a complete toad to the world around me — I’m writing a love list. Not my ULTIMATE END OF YEAR LOVE LIST WHOA (that’s coming), but just a list of things that would really make me happy at this specific moment. A freestyler, if you will.
Feel free to be rampantly loving on your own blog or in comments. Also, please make me a smoothie.
THINGS I LOVE
My mom’s baking powder biscuits
Kleenex with lotion
Possibilities
People who know more about stuff than I do and then tell me about it
Snowy mountains
The same arguments my parents always have about a) traffic b) when to leave the house c) how much my dad complains about both things

Did you know that 4 gills of ale and beer is 1 pint, 2 pints = 1 quart, 4 quarts = 1 gallon, 9 gallons = 1 firkin, 2 firkins = 1 kilderkin, 3 kilderkins = 1 hogshead, 2 hogsheads = 1 butt? (there, you feel better already, don’t you?)
I like bras and well-worn jeans too. :-)
Get well soon.
