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?

...How about you?
