It’s Sunday!

I’ve got some work to do!

Which is, of course, the exact moment at which blogging becomes irresistible.

I’ve gained a couple freckles going to and fro on the planet this weekend, which is lovely… the sun is out, and the classic Vancouver spring/early summer rain is nowhere to be seen.

Unfortunately, I’ve also been crabby, a complete insomniac, and a bit of a pain in the ass for the last few days.

I think I need to redeem myself with a love list.

You can do one, too, if you like (in comments, or at your own blog, of course.)

Regardless, I need some cheering — hope you don’t, too, but if you do?

I got your back.

THINGS I LOVE

My new, spring green BPA-free Nalgene that will encourage me to drink more water (or at least make it more convenient)

My new, OXO Good Grips super-sealing travel mug. I’ve taken out three shirts on the way to work already… it’s time to step it up a little.
