I wanted to make a list of the reasons why I feel disgruntled and anxious today (rushing to get here and there, scary-bad SUV drivers, nicotine withdrawal, bills, boredom, blah, blah...) but I decided I need a different list if I'm ever going to change my world.

Recent pleasure trips:
Adult Swim, a blog about book covers, an optimistic mermaid, healthy snacks, finding a whole other world in a random documentary from my Netflix list, listening to my favorite NPR show , surprising my mother yesterday with a gift that made her smile, celebrating my sister Katie's birthday now that she's officially older than I am, turning farmer's market vegetables into a lovely ratatouille , Monday movie night, and finding my high school yearbooks the day after I stopped looking for them and went digging in my memory instead.
I love terra chips too. Have you tried the new Snyder puffed cheese snacks? They're just as good as cheetos in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Kelly, how funny was TAL this week with the internet stuff and the girl with the webcam and all those funny letters. I was happy listening too.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Have you ever listened to "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me?" Very funny, always puts a smile on my face.
Wow! Thanks for thinking of me :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't visited in a while, and I'm very glad I did today.
This made me happier, too. I think it might be contagious :) I hope you're having a much better day!
MJo- I am so damn addicted to TAL, I've listened to every show on the archives. I like Wait Wait, but never seem to get my time straight for listening live and haven't ventured into downloading that one yet (no podcast).
ReplyDeleteMermaid - I hope it is contagious! Let's keep passing it on.
