I'm fearing redundancy.

It's weird... I started this project to record MY "daily bliss", but some days there really isn't a truly great moment. Some days are just meh. Not bad, but not great. Then the few "daily bliss" moments I DO have seem to be repetitive.

I might be expanding my entries to include things that might inspire a little happy in other people soon... what that is, though, will have to wait and see what I stumble upon. =)

So, for now, here's what brought me a little happy:

• Taking a walk with The Hubs. We're starting a plan to gradually increase our walking health, with the hope to walk a 5k (my first!) in September to benefit AIDS research. So our distance is only about a 1/2 mile loop, but we're REALLY out of shape. Plus it benefits our dog, too - Daisy gets some sunshine as well, and as we walk longer distances, she'll get in better shape, too (and more tired out by the end of the day!)
• Planning my road trip this weekend with my friend J. Turns out we'll be passing "the Dutch capital of America" on the way down, so I'm hoping to convince J that we NEED TO STOP THERE. There's a Hans Christian Andersen museum! I love his fairy tales!
• El Pollo Loco. OM NOM NOM NOM NOM. They put crack in their skin or something, it's such freaking delicious chicken.
• Got a half-day sub call - it was a teacher I've subbed for before, and this time I actually got to meet him. He likes my work, and asked for my number and name to make sure he could request me in the future. *beams @ compliment*

Huh. Guess my day was better than I thought - which is the whole purpose of this blog! To recognize the good moments, so I don't just focus on the negative!

Daily Bliss - 4/26/10

What was blissful about today:

• A nice, cool morning to take my dog Daisy around "the loop" we take (which means I didn't get a work call that woke me up and made me rush to get to the job). She frolicked and was adorable, and I was happy to watch her frolic.
• I DID get a substitute job, a half-day assignment (with enough notice to still get some stuff done and not have to rush) - bonus that of the 3 periods I was there for, it covered a lunch period AND the teacher's prep period! I basically got paid $16-17/hour to sit and play on my iPod for 1/3rd of my "shift". Can't complain! (There were some buttheads, but nothing too bad.) More (and better) substitute teacher hilarity can be found at ellemennoppee's blog. She works with elementary school, so her tales are infinitely more adorable and funny. I deal with surly teenagers most days. xD
  
• I'm making a quick and easy spaghetti and meatballs for dinner tonight, which I'm sooooo looking forward to. I love me some spaghetti and meatballs! I got the idea to make easy "meatballs" by just squeezing the meat out of sausage and rolling it up in balls - the meat's already seasoned and mixed! Fry them for about 5 minutes, then let them simmer in your sauce on medium heat for about 7 minutes. NOM. That will make me have a happy tummy tonight. =D

Pretty blissful day!
