#SomethingonSunday: Grateful for Gratitude

Today, I am grateful to Jenny for starting this little gratitude exercise because the Sunday before going back to work is often hard. The Sunday before going back to work after a long weekend is often a little harder. I always have to figure out where to start with all I have to do and it gets overwhelming.

Along with that, I am also grateful for:

1. Spending time with my friend Jasmine over the weekend and getting to meet her family. Not only did we eat good food and have good conversations, we also managed to watch most of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which I haven’t seen in a while. Also, and most importantly, her family is pretty great. A+, would hang out with again.

2. Roseanne, A Different World, and Golden Girls reruns. I got to watch a little of all three over the weekend (including the one with Dwayne and Whitley’s wedding–YES, CHILD), and they were all glorious.

And, of course, because I mentioned it, I have to post the clip again:

Diahann Carroll is a national treasure.

3. Being able to fly out of Burbank instead of LAX. #blessed

4. Figuring out some key stuff that I was blocked about re: this script I’m working on. That also led to me doing some actual (re)writing tonight.

5. Two weeks left of the semester. Although this is also a major stressor for me, the countdown to vacation is real.

I hope everyone else was able to find some joy this past week.

D is for A Different World

Do you remember where YOU were when Dwayne interrupted Whitley’s wedding to Byron?

 

 

I do. I was standing in my kitchen on the phone with a boy. Do I remember the boy? Of course not. (PAY ATTENTION. We all know what’s important to me by now.) Do I remember how I reacted? YES. I may have lost my fool mind, much like all the guests at the wedding did.

Also, can we just take a moment to appreciate the perfection that is Diahann Carroll and her delivery of “Die. Just die”?

Thank you.

A to Z 2016

 

For the A to Z challenge, I’ll be blogging about fannish pursuits (aka things I’m a fan of or have strong feelings about). Tune in tomorrow to see what I picked for E!
