It always amazes me when someone will come up all upset about one thing or another that they read or saw in the media. . .while I sit here happy and complacent in my little cocoon.

I'm 42 and have always been a kid at heart. This has been criticized by some (mostly boring co-workers) and embraced by others (friends). Only, after seven looong years in the only job I can seem to find I just realized (gasp!) I've lost the fun in my own life!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Adults can be so boring.

Just clicked on your song that Liz linked to on her web. You wrote about me! I recently gave up a tenured full professor job that I had had for 18 years to follow my dream of living close to the ocean. My friends think I'm crazy. But it's been the best decision that I've ever made! Love the list. Just clicked on your song that Liz linked to on her web. You wrote about me!

Pedicures! Two of my favorites. The thought of a group nap makes me smile. I am lucky to be one of those people who can get a full brain shut down in 15 minutes and feel perfectly refreshed when I wake up. Sometimes I do this in the pedicure chair!!! And one other of my favorites is taking a nice long bath....scented with some relaxing aroma oils, candles lit. mmmmmmm Naps! Pedicures! Two of my favorites.

Ordinarily, I'd treat myself to some fat-free frozen yogurt, but today I thought, go for the gusto (which beer ad was that, anyway?) Love the one about paying full price--I no longer put off buying what I love if it isn't on sale. The great part about this is that not only am I actually buying less (if I don't LOVE it, I don't BUY it, unless it's $1.99 lip gloss :-) but I'm also surrounded by things that I absolutely adore. And a lot less clutter, too! I have NEVER regretted paying full price for something I really, really, really love.
