Weekend of bliss: Santa Barbara

Sunshine, smell of the ocean, beautiful surroundings, spending a full weekend with an old dear friend, AND meeting newborn babies...

Pretty darn blissful weekend. =D

Also: Would like to win the lottery so I can move to Santa Barbara kthnx.

Low day on the bliss-o-meter

Today wasn't necessarily a BAD day, it just wasn't great. BUT the goal is to record the happy moments, even if they're small and seemingly insignificant.

Today's moment of bliss were two: Talking to my friend J, who I'm taking a weekend road trip next weekend to Santa Barbara, CA (I've never been, so I'm very excited, and J lives in NYC so I'm also super-excited to spend a couple days with him), and starting my mother's day cards. Unfortunately, My idea didn't work out so I have to toy with it a little more... and I wasted 2 pieces of cardstock trying to figure it out. ARGH!

Either way, still glad for the two good moments today. =)

Daily Bliss - 5/1/10

This is, like, crazy birthday week. As I mentioned before, last night was The Hubs' birthday poker night, where we also celebrated a friend's earlier birthday and another friend's upcoming birthday. Today we celebrated the earlier birthday friend - he wanted to have sundaes at his house, followed by Monster Mini-Golf . So we did that today! It was actually a LOT of fun, and I did pretty darn good at the mini-golf for once. After the golf, we went to dinner with another friend and his wife at the Old Spaghetti Factory next door, which was also a nice time. =)

So to ADD to the birthday craziness, my baby brother turns 18 today! He's a legal adult! It's INSANE to me - I'm over 10 years older than him, so I literally wiped his butt and fed him bottles, helped him learn to walk, taught him how to swim... I mean, he's my brother so he's not my CHILD, but I remember all of this. I'd post pictures of how adorable he was as a baby and shit if it wouldn't embarrass the shit out of him. (Might do it on Facebook, though, haha.) I tried to call him, but he's a dork and doesn't have his voice mail set up, annoyingly. Meh. Still awesome and amazing that my youngest sibling is an almost-fully-legal adult. I'll be more excited when I can take him to a bar for his first drink - well, legal drink, anyway. ;p

Daily Bliss - 4/25/10

Today's moment of bliss brought to you by the insanely long carrot strings in my salad today. Yes, that's CARROT, not spaghetti! Picture taken by my lunch companion, Holly - meals with friends is always a little bit of bliss, too. :)
