joys & concerns
each month, at vestry meetings, we start by going around the room and sharing our personal "joys and concerns." however, a stuffy meeting room with tired older people isn't really my favorite outlet for poeticism and depth. and huge long lists.

this is a right-now list. a this-minute list. feel the urgency.

concerns
1. consumerism
2. productivity (yes, lack thereof)
3. career
4. caloric content of vanilla latte
5. hives
6. carpooling (yes, lack thereof)
7. ants (yes, plenty thereof)
8. split ends
9. dreaming that everyone around me dies
10. taxes

joys
1. spring rain
2. DADGAD tuning, and learning it at 3am from the coolest person east of the mississippi
3. jasonkill.com. oh the irony. he's so #3 on my list.
4. the cubicle dweller is back, sort of.
5. snoozing. more than once.
6. jesus died for my sins
7. erik and i are getting married! with peonies!
8. trader joe's meatless meatballs. (or "meatlessballs," if you want to get creative)
9. sex
10. tess vigeland
