Things I Get to Do Now

Here is a list of things I get to do now that I have not been able to do since I left for graduate school.

1. Attend my mom's retirement party at work. It's small, it supposedly wasn't a big deal, but I got to be there, hear stories of days of yore and eat chocolate cake.
2. Witness Natalie's first day on the UW campus. She is only six months old but we were paving the way for the future.
3. Witness the day that Natalie discovered she had a tongue. Oh, if it was only socially acceptable to walk around sticking your tongue out at everyone.
4. Watch my nephew get a first at the state solo ensemble.
5. Discard a book if I don't like the first page. Granted I would know so little about Elia Kazaan had I had this privilege before but I think I could live with that lack of knowledge.
6. Truly feel like what it is to be BORED. I love it and hate it at the same time.
