In recent weeks, I clearly have had very little time, wit, or energy to write, so I figured I'd just put up a list of some things I love and recommend trying. It takes less effort than actually putting together coherent paragraphs.
Wallaby Yogurt: Especially lemon or key lime, but all are good.
Nalgene bottle spill guards with smiley faces on them: Good for a little pick-me-up when you're feeling down and need a beverage.
Zazzle.com: Fun for making personalized stamps for invitations, thank you cards, or just so your bill collectors can put a face to a name. (They also personalize other stuff.)
Kashi anything: A great company that uses whole grains and organic foods to make very delicious, quick, portable food (crackers, cereal, trail bars, frozen meals, etc.).
Dancing: Oh, how I miss it. Good exercise and, as a bonus, fun to do! Also, if you do it obsessively enough, you can go out after the dancing and have french fries and a milkshake at 12:30am and not gain any weight. (Those were the days.)
Deep tissue massage: Don't be such a pussy. If it doesn't hurt, it's not doing anything.
Asking for a raise: You're worth it, and they know it. If they don't, move on.
Shoe shopping: You don't have to buy anything. But you probably will.
Giving thoughtful gifts: You get to put a smile on someone else's face because they know you really care. And it's relatively easy.
Surprising someone (in a good way, not just jumping out to say "boo"): See reason above.
Psychotherapy: Well, duh.
Going to college away from home: Being a grown up is hard sometimes. Difficult choices and moral dilemmas abound. College is a good place to practice that with training wheels.
Chocolate: Go on. Live a little.
