I probably say this every week, but Monday came entirely too soon, and the day definitely went by a little slower than usual. It's days like today that I have Magical Monday, to help combat a case of the Monday blues.
The list:
1. Baby animals. When I was at the zoo this weekend, I got to see a baby tiger and a baby clouded leopard. They were both so cute, I could just stare at them all day. Oh my gosh, I just want to steal them both!
2. Learning random facts about yourself. I discovered that when I was, like, one, I could understand some Russian. Like, what? I guess my babysitter was Russian and treated me like part of the family. She spoke her kids in Russian sometimes, so she spoke to me in Russian sometimes too, and I started to understand some things. That would have been so cool to know Russian! Shame I know a grand total of one word now.
3. Awesome plans. A few friends and I have decided that we want to go to England (and Ireland) and so we are in the (very) preliminary stages of planning and beginning to save. This needs to actually happen, or I'm hoping a plane solo. London is calling.
4. Family friends (with cute dogs). I saw two different family friends this weekend, which was nice. It was also nice seeing their dogs. One of them has had the same dog most of my life, and it was nice seeing him again, though he's getting so old and it's makes me sad thinking about it. He's my favorite of their dogs. The other family friend just got a new one (I
mentioned him yesterday), so it was fun getting to meet him and see her other dogs. And, y'know, it was nice seeing the people too... :P
5. Ed Sheeran. Ever since I got my iPod, I've been listening to Ed Sheeran in the mornings. Listening to him has helped to make the mornings a little brighter, and I'm pretty sure I fall a little bit more in love with him every morning.
I also just wanted to take a moment to mention Lee Thompson Young's suicide. At first, I thought it was a rumor, since I just couldn't believe that he would have taken his own life. But then I saw another person posting about it, so I looked it up. I used to watch The Famous Jett Jackson all the time when I was younger, and to think that someone I grew up watching, someone who isn't that much older than me, is no longer here... I guess I don't know what to think, other than it's far too young. R.I.P.
