gratitude

i have so many things to be thankful for this week:

* most of all, dannon came home monday night {woot-woot}!
* i am finally done training at work & can begin my normal schedule {aka - kim won't work so many days and will be way less exhausted. yessss!}.
* midnight in paris - swoon! i don't think i could love this movie any more than i do. it's brilliant!
* getting to hang out with brandi and jo at alcove {i'm so glad i finally got to meet jo!}.  i love blogger
meet-ups, even when they're a little sad because one of them *ahem, brandi* is moving away.
* delicious $6 bottles of wine {we did a comparison, $6 wine tastes better than some $30 wine. bam! sold.}
* a creative husband who experiments with making his own frozen yogurt.
* warm sunny weather and finally getting to wear summer dresses with flip-flops.
* a fan. such a simple thing, but makes all the difference when you live in the desert without air conditioning.


also, if you live in the LA area, you should check out one of the free shows motopony is doing this
saturday - 1p at origami vinyl {just a few blocks from my house}, and 7p in old town pasadena. we'll be
heading over to the show in pasadena since i work tomorrow afternoon.  see you there?... eh, eh?...  :)
there are also a bunch of other cities on their tour, so check out their website.

what are you thankful for?

    So much to be thankful for! Right now it is resting my back after a loooong four hours of weeding. :)

    Your list, as always, is lovely. I am going to click your link for the movie. Sounds like a perfect date night!

    Please do link your sweet list to The Little Things!

    xx, Cassie

    Such a great list. So, much to be just grateful. Little things really. I am thankful for my friends{even the one's I've never met}, my writing practice, starting back to be regular yogini, rice and kale, hot tea, cool nights and the healing work that is going on right now in my own heart. Yesterday, I was walking from the library and I thought, I like being me. My life is not perfect but I like me and that makes me thankful.

    Happy Weekend, Kim. I really hope your roadtrip plans bring you to Seattle... so we can figure out a meet-up. And speaking of meet-ups, Brandi will be here next week, and I'm so excited!

    So I'm going to look for jobs in LA. You know, just in case. One never knows right? And I'm thankful we got to spend some time together this week. I'll fly back as often as I can. Promise. Have a great weekend, darling!

    Ahhh, I'm so overdue in seeing Midnight in Paris. I fear I won't get around to it before we leave...but I suppose I should be extra thankful that we'll actually be in Paris, right? Have the BEST weekend, sweet Kim!

    I LOVED "Midnight in Paris"! And what a sweet photo of you two!

    I had made other plans when I heard that Motopony would be playing in Pasadena this evening. I think they're coming back to L.A. late July. (?)

    Hope you're having a beautiful weekend!!

    I'm so glad you have so many things to be thankful for :) I need to watch that movie I think! And $6 bottles of wine are the best. I'm thankful for a few things but I'm too scared to say in case I jinx them!

    Cheap wine is something I'm always thankful for :) Have you had Three Buck Chuck at Trader Joes? Charles Shaw is $3 a bottle and it's very good!
