10 for June

(as promised, my ten of the month...)

10 things that make me terribly happy: 

1. Baby Kate. As I was clearing out old photos from my phone yesterday, I stumbled across this oldie but a goodie. She was probably 10 or 11 months in this photo and already expressing her sense of humor. 

2. STA Travel. Thanks to a travel agent named "Huck," I was able to book my flight to Prague, with an excellent rate, over the phone (sans customer service booking fee!) Thanks, Huck!

3. Chipotle. 'Nuff said. 

4. Zumba. Chandra and I are trying a new dance studio. I'll let you know how these classes measure up to my previous experiences. If it's Zumba, it's gotta be good. 

5. 40 hour work weeks. Really, Lauren? Yes, Really. I'm a starving student! Any opportunity to keep myself out of trouble (shopping, eating, pricey galavanting) and making dinero is certainly something worth appreciating. 

6. Living just a short 20 minute walk from campus. I walked to campus today. Minus the humidity, it was a pleasant experience. 

7. Book recommendations. After e-mailing one of my professors a request to suggest some course related summer reading, she responded: "I have a ton of books I'm trying to get rid of! You can have them." Cool!!

8. The new Twilight trailer. I know, I know. I'm 23 and I'm a sucker for the newest edition to the teeny-bopper Twilight saga. There are no excuses; I'm hooked. Clear and simple.

 

9. My cool friends. I can tell you a dozen absolutely fantastic things that each one of them is doing. They've got their lives together and they're making things happen. It's totally inspiring to witness.

 

10. My blog. I struggled with it in the beginning, citing my entire subscription to blogspot as kind of silly. But, I'm pretty passionate about it now. I know I'd like to write professionally one day. Until then, cuethesunshine provides a healthy outlet for that desire.
