Things I'm Loving Today

I have been such a negative nancy recently. Things seem to be going wrong left and right, day in and day out. But today. Today is good.

-Tonight I get to bring home my birthday present, a three legged, rambunctious kitty!
-Saturday just got a million times better, hot yoga, AND partner yoga class.
-The buzz I have going from DD Vanilla coffee
-The new Conan documentary waiting in my mailbox
-Brisk air telling me Fall is coming
-Dinner tonight involves taco turkey.
-My lower body is happily sore from yesterday's insane workout.

What are you loving today?


No really, I want to know. Think of just ONE thing (or ten if its a blissful day) and let's get the happy flow going!

Four Desires. And NPH.

Recently I have seen a lot of people making life goals, five/ten year plans, or bucket lists. Most of the time I find them kind of silly, mainly because I can't think of anything whenever I try to think of my own goal lists and whatnot. To me, if I want to do it, you go for it, you don't just wait around. Case in point, my ludicrous move to New Zealand.

However. Tonight. I can think of a few. Some just as insane as moving, some impossible due to location, and others, think Christmas Gift (that means you mom!).

Clare's Desire List.

1) Learn to speak Russian.

2) Meet and be photographed with......Neil Patrick Harris.

3) Learn and practice Krav Maga.

4) Do and learn more about international cooking and baking.

It's a start....right?

Like a Western....

Sometimes I just like lists. (Idea stolen from Tim)

The Good:
1. Tim's stylish new glasses
2. Myla snuggles in the morning
3. Seeing my intelligent conversation friends soon
4. Los Angeles!
5. Ordering clothes online
6. Videoboard stories and kids
7. Tim being a smartass to his tool of a brother
8. Trying a new recipe for dinner tonight
9. Gorgeous weather for now
10. Upcoming fall weather and smells
11. Playing games with my family
12. Cooking meals for my family
13. Nessa bonding showertime
14. Dunkin hazelnut coffee with two splendas and dash of milk
15. Tim and I totally getting sucked in to Jeff and Jordan

The Bad:
1. Running on little sleep today
2. Fatness
3. Being stressed about an originally awesome sounding trip
4. About to lose my Saturday afternoons
5. Running at 8am every day

The Ugly:
1. Nessa puke near the cat dish
