Threat Level Midnight

Today was a threat-level-midnight kind of day.  I don't even know if I want to get into the details, but it literally involved me filling out forms for the Chinese Embassy in a speeding vehicle and turning them in at a random FedEx in the middle of nowhere at 6:58 PM when they were due at 7:00 PM.  Aye Carumba (if I knew how to say this in Chinese, I would).

I just want to lay in my bed...forever now.  Meanwhile I think it's high time to break out the great things list so I can return to equilibrium:

• On the way home from FedEx, I realized I forgot I had rolls rising at our house, so despite the madness we didn't have to settle on a mediocre dinner.
• Last week I planted 100 bulbs and I'm hoping the excitement of this will last all winter long.

• I made homemade tomato juice from the garden bounty earlier this week and it was so good.

• I had time to work out before I even realized today was a threat-level-midnight day, which allows me to not be working out right now. *Cue the hallelujah chorus.*
• I had two leftover pumpkins from Activity Days that I painted gold, and I love them.

• I remembered I had an $80 gift card leftover from last Christmas and bam, we just scored some new pillows and fall attire.
• Tomorrow, Pandora and I get to learn all about Iowa tax law from the comfort of our own home.

Phew, I guess life is pretty good after all.
