I Like Excitement!

Frankly who doesn't? I guess a lot of people don't really. Excitement isn't always base jumping off a cliff over a pit of lava. The key to exciting life is finding excitement in everyday mundane things. Going to the grocery store can be exciting if you go in with an idea like attempting to spend the least and get the most. Or a better and frankly more exciting is attempting to spend the most and have leave with the least items possible. The thrill of it all is just enough to raise an otherwise dull trip to the grocery store to a event with a little, not too much though, excitement. This kind of thing wont raise the hair on your arms but it may quicken your pace on the way to the store. Even cleaning the house can be made a little more exciting if you do it on a Sunday morning and listen to Stevie Wonder at a high volume on your home stereo. I suggest the happy birthday song even if it's not your birthday. Speaking of birthdays, cakes are not just for birthdays. Bake one on a Tuesday night for not good reason if your talking about excitement. Or try $20 scratch off tickets to add that little extra excitement and stupidity you miss since you stopped bmx biking on dirt jumps created at construction sights.

Point being find something to get excited about and do so. Find something that picks you up out of bed in the morning even if it's something you totally made up for yourself to get excited about.

Stay excited,
Green, B.

In my world there is a fine line between excitement and compulsion. Typically when I find something that excites me, I abuse the hell out of it and it becomes not exciting. The key is moderation...but this is not news. B green B excited

Thanks b. green. This is a true-tp-form neat tip, something absent from my life for too long. I am going to take it to heart, and immediately. I am always excited about brunch. And I am always excited about eggs benedict. But today I am super excited about eggs benedict. This is because the restaurant I will be gracing with my presence has a special eggs benedict, so exciting. They take the spot where the english muffin once resided and replaces it with a waffle. And, knowing the reputation of this establishment, this is no eggo they slide beneath the poached egg and sauce. So excited.

And let us not forget the true reason for excitement this daylight savings day. I am usually excited for the wire, compulsively excited. But today we have a reason to be ultra-excited....the series finale of the wire. Be more excited.

"Larry, let's go home"

Leggo my eggo!

Nature Sounds Alarm Clock. It's a real exciting to wake up to locusts swarming.

Oh, and also, living w/Ross.

All I know is it's exciting when your husband cleans the kitchen. Spick and span my neat friends. I love you honey. Thank you for being clean and green.
