A Couple of Thoughts, in no Particular Order

Alright, let me start off by saying, its 5:15 on April 8, 2010 and It. Is. SNOWING. I really don't have anything else to say about this other than fml.

Also, today as I was driving home from the many errands that I was running today, I started making a list of some of my recent favorite things in my life. So I thought I might share them with you.

1. Full Serve Gas Station. More specifically, Co-op. What is it about full serve that is just so good? Could it possibly be the fact that all you have to do it pull right up to the pump, roll down your window and merely state the amount you are willing to spend on gas that day while the attendant does the rest of the work? Laziness FTW.

2. Calgary Public Library. What is more wonderful than entering into a building and being surrounded by words, music, photos and film. Sure, they aren't as inspiring as finding a tiny book shoppe on a back street in some picturesque old town, but for 12$ a year and only a 2 minute drive from my house, it might as well be. I find myself there AT LEAST once a week. I have become addicted to "I Love Lucy" dvd's and just today borrowed my first "book on CD". "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. So far its very interesting, I have been listening to it all afternoon while I re-organized my room, I think this will become a new habit of mine, listening to books while cleaning, or cooking. This will make me extra productive, excellent.

3. Baking. Yes, I love it.

4. Shopping for Kitchen Stuff/Bathroom Stuff/House Stuff. Homesense is my go to place for this, I am really good at finding amazing stuff on the clearance shelves, like my recent purchase of 4 stem-less wine glasses.

5. Wine. I have finally found a red wine that I enjoy (Jackson Triggs - Pinot Noir), and I am pleased to announce that I drank the whole bottle (quite the accomplishment, with the help of my beautiful new glasses). I also am always a fan of a good Gewürztraminer, delish!

6. Alone time. Love it. It's my re-fueling time.
