The best part of waking up is...

Two Women at a Window, Bartolome Esteban Murillo


My favorite part of...

lattes  the foamy milk that gets stuck at the bottom of the cup, requiring you to stick your entire face in there to get it all

hand lotion  that finally-soaked-in feeling when your hands don't feel greasy anymore

spoons  getting them to stick to your forehead like my Uncle Rick does

novels  finding out that what you thought was going to happen is nowhere near as juicy as what actually happens

handwriting  making up your own style without worrying about getting marks taken off in school

apples  the sweetness that lasts through the entire fruit, and I mean everything but the seeds

poems  how one day a poem will explain your feelings entirely but the next day it makes no sense

musicals  seeing your guy friends dressed in pastel suits and makeup

classical music  how I can listen to it as loudly as possible and it still won't distract me from my homework (unlike blogging)

mechanical pencils  smooth as lead and never in need of sharpening

windows  the way they let in the morning light and wake me up

museums  the conversations they inspire

gift shops  finally being able to touch and pick up something after just looking for hours
rain  the way it sounds on my roof and lulls me to sleep

today  how friends show up exactly when I need them
