it's May!

to celebrate, here are some things that I like - -

• how people in South Dakota lift a finger when they pass you on the road. I especially like it when older people do it from their pickups, but I do not like it when young whippersnappers ignore you because they are on their cell phones.
  
• being a cat person. I can really see myself getting into this.
  
• how food looks when it's arranged interestingly on a bbq.
• drinking chilled wine when it's warm out.
• using public spaces in a personal way, i.e. walking around a church in Omaha barefoot because I stayed there with a bunch of USD student volunteers this weekend.
• bloody marys at Happy Hour!

can you tell that I want to be outside?
