december 10th gratitude

1) the veganomicon cookbook (i haven’t made anything yet, but so far it’s actually fun to read. yeah, i know. but really.)
2) this great-sounding fudge recipe (thanks, h!)
3) BATHTUBS
4) noticing that i must be getting depressed because i’m isolating–not returning emails, phonecalls, and the like. good to notice, i think.
5) that i won the war of the purple coat i was stalking. on sale, finally. and so cute! and not black!
6) that we had a little sing-along to “sing” (“sing, sing out loud, sing out stroooong. don’t worry if it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear. just sing. sing a song.”) yesterday at the end of the work day (and way to make me feel old, kids, the ones who had never heard it!)
7) 3:30 meditation
8) nikki at kula
9) the amazing 1988 jungle brothers album i downloaded
10) kdz, babee. so good, will you come to nyc and play for me?
11) that today is my lost-virginiversary. i won’t divulge the year. but it’s nice to think about, actually. i know most people have some sort of horror story or awkward story. but mine was sweet. i mean, it involved climbing out a boy’s dorm room window afterward and getting scratched by hedges and then going to dinner in a dining hall. but i don’t think i would have changed a thing. (oh and today is also the anniversary of my first kiss. on the cheek.)
