Amen and hallelujah.

Yesterday, I bought my very own Mr. Coffee® coffee maker for $3.99 at the Goodwill store.
Just now, I made a test pot... WE'RE GOOD!!!

In closing... I, Kylie Jo Wilkerson, have my very own coffee pot. Thank you and good night.

Finally getting to see a band you've waited for 5 years to see, tomorrow night.

free posters with my movie
anime
getting to go away for the weekend
the fact that the eruption did not look like my avatar this time.

Today is moving day.

I finally get to go home. I feel like a pound puppy.

If you have any 18year old single malt scotch (or better) that needs moved.. you let me know.. i'd be quite happy to lend a hand.

the breakup didn't stick!

I just saw the most amazing concert.

Ever.

Singing in my echoey empty apartment.
Talking with friends on the phone -- from my new apartment.
My apartment being bigger than I remembered it.
My apartment's living room being bigger than my entire first apartment.
Winning the coin toss for the smaller bedroom.
Having internet again.

Voice mails from Libby and her sister! Congrats on the apartment, ladies!

I love Alix.
I love Becky.
I love Brandon.
I love Elena.
I love Ellie.

I love Lisa.

--a short list of people who have made me smile superbig recently.


Favorite things: sunshine
the view from our fire escape
the spiral staircase from our fire escape
the color yellow
my sister being so wonderful and supportive, even when I yell at her and boink her between the eyes with a wadded-up snotty Kleenex
rediscovering boxed stuff
the smell of WD-40 in a distant room
having a signed lease in my hands
French toast
listening to Miranda Stone

Fruit.
Glitter.
Collage ideas.

I've finally figured out why the back of my desk chair kept collapsing, and fixed the problem. Whee!!

Having my newly-local friend's phone number!

Having my stuffed Blue pillow returned to me.

downtown vancouver
having too much too drink, two nights in a row
getting reaquaited with people I haven't seen in a while
getting aquainted with new people in general
a change of scenery
nice border guards(not too mention cute)

Ooooh! Chances, no matter how distant, of Aaron's fantasy of marrying a Canadian coming true.

Well, I sat next to a cute canadian at the reception tonight as well. She left before I got to ask her to dance though, but I planted a bug in the brides ear too.

Aaron, I'm not sure what tradition dictates in the States, but in Canada it is considered the height of rudeness to try to pick up the bride at her own wedding reception.

Hmm, and I said this over the internet, using the groom's computer. And his parents, sister, and brother in law are all downstairs right now. Lol.

I like being able to write in complete sentences again. I've finished two whole journal entries today! That certainly beats leaving off in mid-sentence and not realizing it for two days. Sweet.

Putting my stickers away. It's one of those weird little Amélie pleasures.

Canada
Canadians
Dave and Jenn stopping by (on their honeymoon) to wish me a good trip back
getting a bottle of the wine they had last night to take home
getting to go to my coffee shop in Seattle,
the fact that the barista at said coffee shop remembered me from a couple days ago
the train having clam chowder and beer
the train showing "the terminal' on the way down. I have been wanting to see that, and besides, it was appropriate because I had to cross the border today.

- the guitar and it's capo.

Plain yogurt with ripe sliced banana.
The lovely person who is replastering and painting my apartment.
Listening to favorite CDs.
Having oatmeal in the house.
Unexpected gifts, whether given or received.
No work today. Ahhhhh....

unexpected joy and joy abounding

the simple things in life.

i.e. food, shelter, clean drinking water, etc.

"we've got it made..."

When asked what I'm doing this weekend, replying "working around the house."

Getting to eat and sleep when I want, not when it was convienent (like it was over the weekend)

going home for a few days. seeing family. attending a friends' wedding.

Super-sales on tasty mini-loaves.
Possible new jobs painting walls. *crosses fingers*
I need a new liiiiiiiife....

receiving a new Prospectus in the mail from a seminary i'm interested in going to.

finding out that Riverdance will be in my home area soon.....

chocolate

also, my team won cranium. I love cranium, especially when I win.

My new yoga teacher kicks ASS!

Hey Aaron, how do you feel about Americans living in Canada?

girl, you and chocolate.

i love the things mexicans do with chocolate (prolly since they gave it to us in the first place...)

chocolate atole.
mole at christmas.

and my mom's chocolate installment (that seems mexican b/c of the cinnamon aspect): chocolate bread pudding. <bites lip>

another exciting thing that you'll appreciate: i got a kid to read "microserfs," and he's enjoying it.

ooh! cinnamon spice mocha from starbucks.

starbucks in general.


but then again, i am from washington state, so i probably should say that anyway.

actually having over 1% of the total posts on the orchard. wow. i feel accomplished. *grin*

*gugrle* chocolate plus cinnamon? mmmmmmmmmmmm.

And Microserfs. That's a favorite thing. I loved that book. I love Douglass Coupland.
