15 things I'm looking forward to

Always a nice thing to think about. These are in no particular order!

  1. Getting my portfolio done. I will feel so relieved once it's done.
  2. Going to my friend Leah's wedding. It's in just over a month!!!
  3. Going to my brother's wedding. I'm so happy for him and so excited to get a new sister-in-law.
  4. One of my nephews' first birthday party. I should be able to go and it will be one of the cutest things in the world, I'm sure.
  5. Dogsitting. Puppy and I are getting some quality time soon.
  6. Planning a Halloween costume. I don't have ideas yet, but I'll think of some.
  7. More episodes of Are You the One?. Just a delightful reality show that I look forward to every week.
  8. Trying some new recipes. And really, mostly just eating the food that I make.
  9. Reading some books I have stacked up. I have so many books stacked up.
  10. Getting a job. It's gotta happen sometime, right?
  11. Throwing a murder mystery party. No idea when or where, but I want to do another.
  12. Labor day excursion. In theory I'm going (never know if somehow I'll end up with work that will keep me form it) with friends to Galena that weekend and it should be great.
  13. Dipping my feet in the lake. Gotta do this while the weather still permits.
  14. Getting farther in Wizards Unite. I'm enjoying this game greatly.
  15. Watching some family oral history. I gotta see the video of my grandpa talking about his journey from Ukraine/Russia (it's now Ukraine, but was Russia when he left).

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, ...
