This evening, I asked a slew of people, via text, to fill in this sentence:

Today was a good day for ______________.

Here, in no particular order, are the answers of my family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances from the gym, verbatim:

• hot cocoa!
• Buying a Camry!**
• For sleeping
• Laying on the couch reading.  Wish I had ;-)
• Puddle jumping
• Me.
• Coworker camaraderie.
• A beer!
• Magicians to work their magic and show us how to liberate spirit from matter.
• Eating soup?
• Doing anything but CPE.
• Prepping for the zombie apx*
• Getting ripped off at a car dealer**
• A round house kick!
• Dogs!
• Sleeping :) I am exhausted
• Sleeping, but I didn't, or... talking to kids about wanting vs. needing, which I did.
• REVENGE!
• Being sick
• Magazine flipping

*"apx" is apocalypse. I asked.

**these two people went somewhere together, can you tell?
