Good things

[tiger_spot]

As previously mentioned, life is in fact good. Here are some things that made me happy today:

• Andres
  • who made lasagna for dinner tonight
    • lots of lasagna, which will provide me with lunch for most of next week
• Brooks
  • who happened to be passing the bike shop yesterday, so stopped and got me a shiny new light
• a shiny new bike on which to put the light
  • which I get adjusted a little bit more to my liking every day
  • and which decided of its own accord to stop making that irritating squeaking sound
  • and which comes with a free tune-up anyway
• very heavy books (er, watch that second link; it's not safe for children or particularly observant coworkers)
  • which were delivered to our doorstep
    • much faster than was predicted
• chocolate chip cookies
  • which are in the oven right now
  • and taste darn good prior to being cooked
• organic free-range eggs
• vanilla extract
  • and its availability on demand, any time of day or night
• tea-flavored rock candy
  • and the bad influence who didn't talk me out of it when I thought of it
  • and the husband who didn't mind having it sitting on the counter for months
• iPod!
• computers in general
• instant messaging
• getting to see interesting things while walking to work
• tea
• assorted rats being cute
  • and fuzzy
  • and appreciative of their cage
• HTML and the clever things it can do
• helpful websites to remind me of certain of the clever things HTML can do
• I live in the best possible town
  • in the best possible area
    • of the best possible state
      • for me, personally
    • pine trees and palm trees right next to each other, which remind me of this
• running water
• chocolate chip cookies
  • which are not in the oven anymore
  • and taste darn good after being cooked, too
