gratitude!

what a week it's been!  it seemed to zip by in a flash for me.  anyone else?  i guess that's because i kept very busy, which was a welcomed change.


here are a few of the things i'm thankful for this week:

* making some money {yay jobs!}.
* having creative projects that keep me inspired and challenged.
* successfully parallel parking all over the city and no longer screaming as i do it.
* joining carmella for her birthday dinner at cru.
* the amazingly delicious food at cru {i know raw/vegan sounds scary, but the food there is phenomenal}.
* going to work and being surrounded by great friends.
* playing dress up with tatiana {more like tatiana dressing me up - i'm going to be one of her models at a photoshoot}.
* warm, sunshiny weather.
* waking up at 7.... ish.  ...well, the specifics aren't as important as the fact that i woke up before 8 every day.
* daydreaming about all the places we'll go and people we'll see on next week's trip to san francisco.
* the most amazing, relaxing bath my partner prepared for me. what a guy!
* having absolutely NO plans this weekend. i can't wait to relax, sleep in, take a hike, watch a movie,  or anything else i feel like because i don't have anywhere i have to be. yay!

what are you thankful for?

  2. Raw/vegan doesn't sound scary, it sounds amazing!! ; )

    I'm grateful for so much! I'm thinking I should write it all down, too. I just worry that I won't know where to even begin!

    Have a lovely weekend, Kim!

  3. Loved this list! I'm so excited for you to go to SF! I grew up in the SF area and am just so in love with it. Nowhere else compares! Let me know if you want any suggestions of places to go and things to see! :]

  4. What an amazing week you had! I just want to say YAY for it all! I'm most thankful for new friends, dinner conversations, getting more exercise, and just generally being happier. However, I do secretly wish I had nothing to do this weekend. That would be so lovely, but it's going to be another busy weekend for me. Enjoy yours, Kim! Can't wait to see you next Saturday!

  6. It looks like you've had a wonderful week, and that makes me so happy to see! :) Definitely yay for the creative projects, the great friends + partner :) I'm grateful to be lucky enough to go on so many trips, and I'm also grateful to be home with no plans this weekend, either! I am really looking forward to getting everything back in order and doing all the things I've pushed off until my travels are over. Whew, it'll be a nice rejuvenating weekend, I think! :)

  11. Yay for having a wonderful week! I'm thankful for sunshine this week, daffodil shoots coming up all over the garden, homemade heart-shaped sugar cookies with pink icing (and way too many sprinkles!), two episodes of Glee, lots of lovely letters in my mailbox and the thrill of anticipation of seeing my best friend in the whole wide world this coming weekend!!!

    And now, must teach these grade one kidlets something. Or maybe we'll just play with glitter and glue instead.

    Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend, Kim.

    PS: I see you have plans with Brandi next Saturday. Fun! Be sure to ask her about our summer plans... and think about if you'd like to join us!

  14. I'm grateful for blogs because I get to know cool people like you.

    I laughed as I read about parallel parking, I practice when I'm not under pressure and do great, but the minute I have to do it for real I'm tense and timid. Way to go. =)

    Hope you were able to enjoy a nice, relaxing weekend. With all the running around that you do, it's nice to unwind for a bit and force ourselves to just coast for awhile.
