Cat in a Bicycle Basket

What’s on the love list this Thursday?

• A custom notebook giveaway! Oh my!
• Introducing Whiskey Friday to my new company. A tradition passed on from The Onion…may it live on in my heart and my glass. Just a little sip to celebrate the end of a successful week. Comrades, raise your glasses!
• Dennis arrives tomorrow! He is one of the three roommates Scott and I had when I first moved into their mega-apartment in Buena Park, Chicago. He is one of our closest friends, pretty much family. I am ecstatic for this visit. He doesn’t leave til next Wednesday! Yay Dennis!
• Some good bicycle rides. I will readily admit that bicycle commuting in Southern California leaves things to be desired (such as the fellowship of other bicycle commuters) but I have had a couple really fantastic spirit-lifting rides lately. Keep it up and make me love you, Orange County. It’s not your fault that you’re not Chicago.
• Cats in baskets.
• Baking in my apartment for the very first time. It’s been far too long, my sweets.

What’s perking you up this week?
