inspired by my reading of the happiness projectby gretchen rubin, i am instituting monday "gratitude" posts (read here for more detail), where i will list "3 things i'm grateful for" from the previous week.
the 3 things i'm grateful for this week are:
1) i finally got to seeinceptionand amazingly it didn't get spoiled on me beforehand (p.s. go see this movie! SO good)
2) i made it through week 1 of my self-imposed august clothes shopping hiatus. going a week isn't really a difficult thing for me, but factor in all the sales to clear out summer stuff plus the current 10-day sales tax holiday on clothes in illinois? just a tad trickier! 3) i was in chicago for the whole weekend (for the first time since the end of june!). got to spend some time with good friends, and boy, did i need a little time at home to just be.
sunday afternoon, legs up on the ottoman, listening to music, sipping coffee, and doing a little bit of work.
