2:50am Thoughts

Still up working on some market research for part-time job. Just finished.

Now to reflect on some wishful thinking:

If I had all the money in the world right now...I would...

• Make sure that my parents retired comfortably.
  
• Take all of my favorite people to celebrate and and eat at their favorite places.
• Pay back all of my loans.
• Take motorcycle lessons and buy a sexy Ninja 250.
  
• Open my own gym.
• Hire all of my friends and make sure that they were all employed with full benefits.
  
• Travel. To everywhere.
  
• Buy health insurance.
• Move NorCal and SoCal closer together.
• Move to my own place, decorate it with a bunch of really neat IKEA stuff, and buy a bigger bed.
  

But alas...I'm not as financially affluent as I'd hope to be.

So, how about we settle for the highlights of my week thus far:

• Home-made crab cakes and making food look pretty.
  
• Meditating at the Thai temple.
• Spending one-on-one time with my little sister.
• Running one mile and not having my knee hurt.
  
• Hearing how awesome Cal-Nev-Ha Circle K rocked at International (as always).
  
• Discovering delicious falafels for good deasl in Bezerkeley.
  
• Unplanned rendezvous
  
• Free wi-fii.
  
• Birthday cakes.
  
• Multivitamins.
• Smiley familiar faces and hugs at the Kiwanis meeting.
• Foozball.
  
• Driving with the windows down, music up, and dancing in my own little world.
• Genuinely good listeners.
  
• Sleep. (Why am I still up again? Hah).
• Food network.
  
• Trader Joe's Low-Fat Granola with Almond's + Bananas + Milk
• Peanut Butter & Jelly Clif Mojo Bars
• Drinking quality booze at 2pm on a Sunday - in particular raspberry liquors.
• Laying down in front of the Campanile on a bench and just absorbing the world around you.
• Crying... And realizing that as insecure as things may be... everything ultimately will be ok as long as I keep smiling and pushing through.
