i brought you flowers

Today feels like a Friday, even though it's Thursday. Thursday, however, is close enough, especially since this week has been pretty awesome.

• I've been super productive at work and appear to be getting the hang of this whole boss thing (IE, no one has cried in my office, yelled at me, or tendered their resignation).
• The Literary Reading and Vegan Bake Sale I'm organizing at the Yoga Studio is coming along nicely. (This Saturday at 7:30pm!)
  
• I did my first speed workout on Tuesday (hard, but fun) and this morning, I clocked 8 miles before work. I'll definitely be ready for the half marathon in October at this rate!
  
• It's been raining on and off all week. This might not seem like a good thing, but after 6 or7 weeks that were nearing drought conditions, rain falling from the sky is a welcome sight.
  
• I tested out a new recipe on some friends and it was a hit.
• And last but not least, I received a fantastic surprise package in the mail from a lovely friend (thank you again, Bobbie!).
  
  
• *EDIT!* Today, I had a wonderful lunch with the gorgeous and generous Sonnie, who shared her oranges with me because the bagel that I bought was ridiculously small and not at all filling. See how even bad things can be made better with the help of a good friend? It's true!
  

Now all I need to do is add "I wrote fifteen brilliant and witty pages of exquisite fiction" to that list and I'd be set. Oh well. That's what August is for. ;)
