What one thing are you most looking forward to . . .
...today?
locating some good deals on music at the Mockingbird Virgin Megastore's Dive In sale (until 2 February)
...over the next week?
starting the National Body Challenge (a 12-week program)
...this year?
being elected Dog Catcher of Muddy Creek, Texas (the town where Bubba Ho-Tep is depicted)
...over the next five years?
being able to successfully use the word egregious in casual conversation
...for the rest of your life?
feeling happy (not giddy, nor perky .. just warm and at peace)
Sundry
