I’m drinking my last Hazelnut Latte today since next week I will begin my 101 things #93: No Starbucks Coffee for 2 weeks. This is a habit that will be hard to break since there is one that I stop into on my way to work. I’m confident I can do it though. It’s just coffee and there’s free coffee in my office, plus I’ll save some dough. I plan on putting what I would have used for Starbuck in an envelope and putting aside for something special.
Also, I can cross off #86: Say “Yes” to something you normally would say no to. I’m very particular about strangers asking for cigarettes off me and I never do it. I have my reasons, for instance, I really don’t like the idea of giving someone something that I know is bad for them. Yesterday, after work, though, I gave in. I was in a particularly mellow mood walking from the bus to the house and after exchanging ‘good afternoon’ with a passerby. He asked for a cigarette, and to his surprise, I complied. He looked like he had a rough day.
In other news, I’m house hunting. I’ve been very surprised at the amazing response from all of my friends and the help that looks like I’ll be getting. I can’t wait to start looking
I’ve had a wonderful week that kicked off with a warm Sunday porch sitting and later an evening at Cocoanut Grove, so I will leave you with a photo from Sunday Night taken by my wonderful friend, Kristen Leep.
Hope you all have a great weekend! I think I’ll be starting #56: Blog everyday for one month soon – Just to warn you
Man, January is turning out to be such a strange month for me (physically, financially and emotionally). I’m looking forward to see if February has some good surprises around the corner.
I’m going to a birthday dinner for Phil tonight and then the beer fairy is driving up to spend the night with us! I’m sure Nick will come over and we’ll nerd out on board games. Good times!
Here’s a list of ten things that make me happy:
1. Finding an unexposed roll of film in the fridge
2. Hugging P.B.ers
3. Meeting other musician who want to get together and jam
4. Getting excited about Girls Rock! Indianapolis
5. Eating Nutella strait from the jar
6. Writing letters and postcards to friends and family (email me your address and get added to the list!)
7. Discovering a record in our collection that I haven’t listened to in a long time
8. Looking at old photos of me and friends (pre-Indiana)
9. Discovering new ways I can be creative
10. Making lists
I decided instead of having actual resolutions this year, I was going to do the 101 things in 1001 days (dayzeroproject.com). I haven’t made the whole list but I’d thought I’d share a few with you.
So initially I wanted to make Happy Friday posts a list blog entry, but I think I will just make it a “things that made me happy in past week” post. So with out further ado:
I know I haven’t been blogging like I want to. These past few weeks I haven’t had any motivation to write, but that is changing. My Autumn muse has arrived and I feel refreshed and creative. For this Happy Weekend post, I would like to share my favorite online videos. I will only embed one. These are in no specific order.
Please share your favorite online video in the comments, whether it be funny or inspirational, a clip or a short, an old one or something you just found out about today. Thanks and have a great weekend.
I just wanted to give you a quick update regarding my surgery.
Everything went fine and I am home bound until my follow up with my doctor on the 27th. The incisions are sore and bruised but I’m healing well and taking walks to stay active. Feel free to email or comment if you wish to know more about the surgery.
So, since it is the weekend here’s my happy weekend list: My favorite cameras.
I grew up in a foreign country, used to live in the desert, and now live in the city... I'm a sucker for roadtrips and I'm clumsy... not much to say. I love life...and robots.
