Tasty, happy things for this week!:
- coffee rituals: I've always been a coffee-nut, you know, I know, we all know. I've been pondering more the different ways in which to enjoy this mighty beverage... Such as, with cookies. Or after dinner on the patio with friends. In a tea cup. In a mason jar. I still will only drink it black though, so don't think I'm getting too crazy here.
- having experiences in common with Mr. Obama: I somehow got linked to this page, and it is a quote from our dear president on love and marriage. It tickles me to see how he was able to phrase, so concisely, something I've been discovering as of late.
- Sometimes, when we’re lying together, I look at her and I feel dizzy with the realization that here is another distinct person from me, who has memories, origins, thoughts, feelings that are different from my own. That tension between familiarity and mystery meshes something strong between us. Even if one builds a life together based on trust, attentiveness and mutual support, I think that it’s important that a partner continues to surprise. "
- giant drawing pads of newsprint paper: They are awesome, and make everything feel a little bit cooler. Or like kindergarten, which, I'm going to admit, was really fun. I make lists and hang them on doors and windows all over my house.
- homeschooling: I decided to teach myself a lot of languages so I can get a job interpreting. French, Italian, Spanish and German. Here goes nada. I will also have a sub-focus on culinary arts and creativity.
- ampersands: You may have noticed a habit I picked up from Gala Darling. In all posts prior to this, I used the ampersand symbol (&) in place of the word 'and'. I have decided that it is time to retire this habit, basically because I said so.
- push-ups: I can do 7 in a row now! SEVEN. I try to do this number every day, until I think I can do 8, and then I will probably brag about it again. It's kind of empowering though, to have this kind of daily investment in my fitness. I show my appreciation for my body by making it stronger, rather than depriving it of fuel.
- itty-bitties: *being thankful, *bright blue nail polish, *glass bottles and jars full of change, *the green of my bedroom walls, *my supremely handsome man-friend, *Panda Bottle!, *I guess that whole Threadless collection in general, *French Milk by Lucy Knisley, *blogging again :)
