location

Alright. So maybe I was moping all evening. I'd already forgotten about my gratitude of yesterday morning and just decided to fester in sickness, boredom and lonliness.

But. Location. Being in the right place at the right time. Being home on a night when I had plans to be out. Being available to make a cup of cocoa and listen to a friend who just needed to vocalize to someone.

I can't mope anymore for the day. Because once again, it's not all about me and I was just here to be here for someone else.

Rad. And so, after a cough, a sneeze, and a duck-call nose blow, I can sleep with a smile.

satisfaction

So maybe it's 7:15 am and I should be showered/getting dressed for work instead of hunkering down with my laptop in my bright green pjs. Eh. Work can wait. (Plus, N* is in the shower).

I woke up with the greatest feeling of joy and satisfaction because...my nose was running. Weird? Sure. But a running/sprinting nose means that my body is healing itself and that swollen feeling that made me feel so worried yesterday is leaving.  So I have several thoughts: "Yeeeeah body! Way to be amazing!", "Oh thank you Heavenly Father for answering my little prayer.", "I hope everyone is waking up feeling better."

Gratitude. It sincerely makes life beautiful.

Oops. Shower just turned off. Gots to get ready. It's going to be a good day.

purpose

It's about time this blog started getting used for it's original purpose (well, secondary purpose. First was just for a screen shot).

For the first fig, I'm going to give design a shot. Or maybe typography. As a disclaimer, I already know I have no talent at either of those things but the goal is to have fun trying.
Woot.

bottle one

January 5: Purchased one 17 oz bottle of olive oil.

it's gonna be gallons

Blog goal: Having just finished the last tablespoon of my olive oil tonight, I'm setting a goal to keep track of how much olive oil I use in a year. 2011: The Year of Oleic Acid


Just to repeat myself....It's gonna be gallons.
