I’m ready for the weekend.

I mean, I’m generally ready for a weekend the moment the weekend ends, but I’ve been awfully sleepy and injury/crisis prone this week.

How so, you say?

(Try saying that eight times fast! Or just the once! That’s fine, too!)

Well, this span of seven days included all of the following:

Being pursued by a rabid butterfly in my living room
Falling off the railing of my deck into a chair, and then a table, and then the door
Getting a bit of basil stuck in my eye for an hour, during which I began to see in Italian
Forgetting to put the top on the blender
Almost leaving my house without pants
Sending someone named Chris an email addressed to “Christ”
Exploding a bottle of Perrier on my shirt
Walking into a door that should have been automatic
Pulling a muscle folding laundry
Being posthumously attacked by a skunk
Inserting a toothpick into the palm of my hand

I’m ready for some smooth sailing.

And some love.

As always be sure to write your own list in the comments or pop one up on your own blog.

Love is the best way to end, begin, and survive any week. And those who write lists about love are destined to love a little harder the whole year through.

I have no proof of this, but we’ve already covered the amount of proof I need for anything.
