15 things I'm looking forward to

I've been a bit down lately, so I decided just to come up with a list of things I'm looking forward to, some are immediate, some are far off.

  1. My first drag show. Tonight I'm going with dear friends to my first drag show. I'm very excited for it and am watching this week's Drag Race right now.
  2. My friend Kimisha visiting me. In just a few weeks, I'll get to see my dear friend Kimisha and it will be so good.
  3. Seeing my friend Diana's Connemara cottage. She posts photos all the time and I cannot wait to see it.
  4. Another escape the room. Hopefully some of us are doing it next week and we can escape again.
  5. The rest of the final season of Game of Thrones. I finally figured out a way to watch it here, so I'm pumped to see what happens.
  6. The rest of this season of Drag Race. I'm too invested now, I know. I like too many of the ones who are still there.
  7. The live taping of Why Won't You Date Me? with Brigid. Nicole Byer is a treat and a dream, so I'm excited to see her live.
  8. My brother getting married. Cory is marrying an incredible woman and I couldn't be more excited for them.
  9. My dear friend Leah getting married. In September I'm going to have the delight of watching up close my dear friend get married.
  10. Taking some more pop vinyl pictures. I've been behind on these lately, but I'm excited to do some more. I do have a few ideas.
  11. Being back in Chicago. I'm definitely going to miss Galway, but I also miss my friends and family back home.
  12. Getting to spend time with my nephew. He's gotten so big and I want to be there as he continues to grow. Photos are great, but they don't beat holding him (although now that he's so big, we'll see how long I can sustain that).
  13. Having my finals done. I have 1 out of 4 done. Wish me luck.
  14. Looking for jobs. Yes, there is some dread for this too, but there are some ideas that excite me.
  15. Getting a manicure. I think I should get one and it will be nice.

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
