Well, thanks for your honesty…
A djembe is an african drum. Makes similar sounds to congas and bongos, but is only one drum. Mind is safely and silently tucked away in my closet because my neighbors would call the police if I played it.
Sorry…Renaissance festivals = not cool.

Peppermint Ice Cream
Cherry Red Corvette
Any Van Morrison song (especially “Sweet Thing” and “Into The Mystic”)
Any child’s finger paintings
Dancing in the rain. (Except for the dancing part I can channel Gene Kelly.)
Wavy Gravey and his Camp Winnarainbow.
The “Special” Olympics
Physically disable surfers
Volunteering
(I’ll stop here, I could think of a 100 more cool things)
Speaking of: Why are all New Englanders addicted to Ice Cream? 10 months out of the year it’s TOO cold for ice cream!
Cool, clean, crisp air
Hotsprings
Lava
Jugglers
Candy Stripers
Honesty
Epistemology
That login is from many moons ago and I have no idea how it got logged in. Hmmmmm
I think many moons are cool.
Mandy, indoors it is never to cold for ice cream.
Right. But all the ice cream shoppes DO NOT have sit down areas inside. You walk up to the building and there’s an open window where you order. Then you stand outside or shiver in your car & eat it.
KUH-RAY-ZEE
coffee
girlfriends
mid day texts

Random hug
Ice.

That’s just depressing…
Naps. Long naps.
Jesus – I’m not just saying that. I really think he was the coolest person ever. Notwithstanding the fact that He is the Son of God. He was super compassionate to those considered to be unacceptable and broken, and really stuck it to the self-righteous pharisees and teachers of the law. I want to be more like Him.
Didn’t know you had a serious side, Kat!
Djembes are way cool!
(If you thought it was questionable to say cool… I just said “way cool”)
I have no creative thoughts right now, but I had to chime in anyway…
I love Ren Fests…but I don’t think they’re actually cool.
Coffee shops and live blues, though? Very cool.

Happy pants? What are happy pants? Did I miss something?
I think there should be an asterisk by “djembes”
Djembes are only cool in culture-appropriate music. Not in worship music.
I agree on all of them.
Especially djembes.
Things I think are cool…
1. Cameras (like the Canon 5D Mark II, I’m praying for).
2. hmm…it’s late…and apparently that’s all I can think of right now. I guess we know what is important in my world. : )

A good greasy slice of Pizza
A wet lick from my Lab at 5 am to help wake me up
Hanging out with my sister
Warm balmly summer nights
A fun and thought provoking blog!
I’ve never quite understood what the word “balmy” means. But I guess it has positive connotations…?
mandy,
balmy = not Boston in March
balmy = 77 sunny, gorgeous degrees in Houston
(I’ll let you curse me under your breath now…)
Even if I scream, you won’t hear me.
reading in a squishy chair, with a blankie, by a window with a slight breeze.
[add to above]… with a warm, perfectly doctored up cup of coffee.
sitting by a lake at sunset with a fire pit in front of me roasting marshmallows.
hearing little people giggle.
taking a good photograph.
confidence that permeates the room without intimidating.

perfect pairing of acoustic guitar and percussion
the wonder that is the internet
