And I am back to my happiness list – I think this is my new
favorite sometimes series, maybe closely tied with Letters to Norby (love that
kid like wow). It’s one of those things that reminds me to stop and smell the
roses – ever so important to do when the world sometimes just doesn’t go the
way you want it.
So here we go:
Planning my last 5 vacation days for 2013. I have a very
generous vacation time allotment, and even with these days, I still have some
to use for next year. Most of the time will be spend with the family around
Christmas, but one day is officially declared Jill’s NYC Staycation Day.
Planning has officially commenced to make the most of the day.
Breakfast tacos from my favorite brunch place in Hoboken,
Hoboken Gourmet. I love tacos, I love eggs, I am one happy camper when I have
breakfast tacos. I am also a massive fan
of the vanilla hazelnut coffee which is a house specialty – it’s so good.
Reminds me to make a mental note to get coffee from there next weekend as a
treat (done).
Bikram yoga - think
we’ve finally gotten out of the hate relationship and gotten to the love stage.
I started up again and just have been really enjoying the feeling of health and
zen that the room is giving me these days. I am actually counting down to when
I can go again, which means I am slightly hooked. I’ve been trying to get into
yoga for the better part of a year, perhaps I am finally there.
Tootsie Rolls are also making me particularly happy, I think
most people find them the rejects of the Halloween candy, but I go in search of
them when I can. My office has trick or treating for the kids, which is so much
fun – but upon the wrap up of the event, a colleague and I raided the remaining
candy at our department- I’ve got a desk full of Tootsie Rolls and a happy
little smile on my face.
Enjoying this cover of Miley’s “We Can’t Stop”… something about
slowing things down makes me smile.
And finally, a great lazy dinner of apples, cheese, peanut butter and pretzels - amazingly easy, delightfully delicious.
