Sincerely, MAB

I'm often excited by a number of things. These come and go as I discover and learn about new things and old. I thought it might be fun to track on a semi-regular basis the things that I'm currently really excited about. I might categorize these in future posts but for tonight's sake I'll just write 'em as they come to me. I'm tired. :-P

So, here are the things I'm currently excited about:

• Civilization V

I know it's not until September, but I may have to take a day or two off in order to play...

• Growing my beard

I finally decided to go whole-hog and grow a right proper beard, because it seems to be the thing to do. I've given it 4 weeks to grow in now, and I have to get going on sculpting it. I'm looking forward to having the sexiest beard this side of the Rockies.

• Starcraft II

I have a love/hate relationship with RTS games, but I can't help but be excited by Starcraft 2. All four people who'll be living here will have licenses and so we'll have to play together.

• Painting my home office

It's been dusty rose since we moved in two years ago. I finally decided that I am going to paint it with the gallon of paint that's been sitting on my desk for the past year and a half. Hope it's still good. ;-)

• Making strawberry jam

Our berry picking was such a huge success, but I didn't have the time to get around to making strawberry jam. So, the berries are frozen and ready to be processed.

• Two friends moving in

We've had two boarders since moving in here, who've since come and gone. It'll be neat to have two very good friends move in for a while.

• Corn season

Fresh corn on the cob, boiled and slathered with butter. Can you really complain. OH! Brainflash: compound butter for corn this year......... I'm a genius.

• Watermelon season

I love watermelons. I've been known to consume whole watermelons in a single sitting. I just can't get enough of them.

• Vegan Weeks

Our new boarders and I have decided to try to eat more healthy, and one week a month will be Vegan Week, where we will attempt to eat vegan, just for the hell of it. It'll be neat to try eating different styles of food.

• Working out

Another thing that's being planned. Nothing concrete set in stone, but you know how it is... I certainly wouldn't hurt from getting a bit more exercise.

• Harry Potter 7.0

New Harry Potter movie. EEE!

• KITTENS!

I love my kittens and I'll be hardpressed NOT to be excited about them. Especially when they so clearly adore me, even if I am the disciplinarian in the house. ;-)

• Canon T2i Digital SLR

Or any digital SLR really. I want one so badly, but finances won't allow it. But man do I ever WANT one.

That's all (s)he wrote. And by that, I mean that's all I can think of right now. What are you excited about?
