i've got grins enough for the whole lot o' you

look!

briana drew me a picture.

and also, angela drew me a whole journal page. 

they made me grin.

and i will show you how:

and i had like a jabillion other reasons for grinning today too. 

i found jeans, on sale for like [what's 10 dollars out of 50?] percent off,

and i ate the best panini you've ever even heard of,

and i just made this freakishly delicious peanut butter pecan ice cream cake thing with a LOT of butter in it,

and the root beer float flavored ice cream was on sale for THREE DOLLARS, so i bought a tub of that.

[why is it that those guilty-pleasure ice creams are on sale when i'm in a good mood, but never when i need to drown my sorrows in 1175 calories of cream?]

and maybe the best thing was something a lot less superficial and something that might take too long to explain, but was just really really good.

you can take my word for it.

anyway. there's me, grinning like an idiot. 

and we're on our way to a bbq now and it's thundering and raining outside and there's probably mosquitos and a bit of lightning too and i'll probably get wet and bit and hit but i don't even care. 

it's one of those days.
