RandomBliss: Things I Love Thursday



Listening to: Not enough jazz lately, so here.

Today's Bliss Formula: My cold has not dropped into my chest -- and that is a huge thing I love this Thursday!  I hate chest colds!  My head is less full and my brain less mooshy than it was yesterday.  Yay! for a functioning brain.  Or, at least, partially functioning...

So to make RandomBliss even more random, I thought it would be fun to participate in Gala's Things I Love Thursday -- not every Thursday, but here and there Thursdays.

Here we go, things I love -- or are on my mind anyway -- this Thursday:

A bottle of our new favorite wine is sitting in the kitchen, waiting for my head to clear, because who wants to waste amazing wine on a stuffed head?  And this wine deserves your full attention.

Has everyone seen this movie?  It has to be one of the best drama/comedies I've seen probably in a few years.  The script kicks the butt of the Juno script and so totally deserved the Oscar. This film has utterly amazing things to say about mental "health," normalcy, community, and love.  Without being overtly pedantic, it teaches.

Ahhhh...I am portable again.  Yes, I prefer my desktop, but the possibility of portability takes a load off my mind.  Internet problems at home?  No problem at all!  Just GO!

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting and now it's finally here.  And it's a two CD set, so my waiting was totally worth it!  Woot!

Has anyone out there watched this?  I mean, I love the sci-fi network, so it's no surprise that I loved this, but wow...what a great re-envisioning.  I know it's something we will watch over and over.

I think I have to have these new Keens...and fast.  Is it true!?  Are there people out there who have not worn Keens?  I am a big proponent.  I have some nerve damage in my right foot toes from years of dancing and tennis when I was younger.  Keens not only don't make it worse, but if I am having a hard time, Keens fix it!  Besides they are so way cute.

Thanks to an article in this month's Yoga + Joyful Living, for the one thousandth, millionth time (I'm a slow learner), I have relearned that yoga is life.  Period.  It covers everything.  All our needs as human beings.  And it creates a more intense, genuine, authentic experience of our lives.  I mean, how many times do I have to be hit in the head with this particular brick?

And last, but not least, something simple, something small...my new water bottle.  The library is a very dry and drying building and drinking water is essential, so why not drink out of something lovely and fun and...safe?

Okay, that's about all that my soft brain can come up with today.

What are some things that you are loving this Thursday?

Okay -- no freakin' way!!!! The wine!!! That is TOTALLY my (and my hubby's) fave new wine, too!! We had a petite sirah at a winery in Door County (WI) this past February, and have been looking for a good (and, if possible, less expensive) one ever since. The Bogle is definitely it!! Too funny. The number of times "you're thinkin' what I'm thinkin'" is becoming scary. Hee hee!!

Hope you're feeling better soon!
