Five Good Things: Thursday edition.

Hi guys,

Nothing particular is happening today that is very exciting, so here are some good things:

1. Tonight is Bec’s photo shoot (70s style) which means I get to dress nice, throw some make up on, and model real pretty with some of my girls.

2.  I am listening to a new station on Pandora called “Ready to be: me.” It is mostly Sara Bareilles, and it is wonderful.

3.  I just got an email back from a man who said he could use volunteers for a new soccer program starting in the area for 4-10 year olds from April to June. To which I said, “Sign me up.”

4.  I have been looking for free lance writing jobs, and applied to some today, which is making me feel accomplished.

5. I am beginning to plan a Passover Seder and Easter Dinner party for my Jewish and Christian and non-religious friends to celebrate spring, and I am very excited.

Well, I just finished 30 minutes of “10 Minute Solutions” dance mix, which kicked my butt. I liked that better than my originally training plan of “walk for 30 minutes.” That seemed boring.

Meanwhile, I figured I’d share my first two mixes with you. Since my workout is only a half hour, they are short, but wonderful. Here goes.

I got eight new albums yesterday at Amoeba music. And because I am obsessed with mid-90s tunes, I could find a lot.

On the list:

1.  Barenaked Ladies Are Me, Barenaked Ladies
2. Deluxe, Better Than Ezra
3. Milk the Bee, The Break and Repair Method
4. Keep Coming Back, Marc Broussard
5. Must Be the Water EP, Marc Broussard
6. The Promise in Compromise, Tokyo Rose
7. Have You Seen Me Lately?, Carly Simon
8. 20 Frank Sinatra Love Songs, Frank Sinatra

It was a good Monday.

Everytime I was in LA I was with my ex girlfriend…

I love Usher. This is true. I can’t help it. Even though one of his most popular songs is about cheating, which I hate, I love him. I love every song on his CDS, and when Jeff asked me what he could send me in China I said, “The new Usher CD.” It’s a problem.

Other things I love:

Dusting, lists that are numbered, lists with bullets, and lists in paragraph form; cutting things out into hearts or flowers, baking, posting a bunch of posts on the same day, the lyrics “i’m mad enough to punch me in my face,” remixes, trivia, reading books, reading magazines, taking photos, you for reading this, you in general, sleeping in, getting up early and making coffee, walking, listening to tunes, pilates, slippers, colored pencils, new bras.
