I've been reading Gala Darling's blog, iCiNG, almost religiously for the past few weeks, and while I'm boiling over with envy because of her fabulous life/job/fashion sense (have you seen these shoes? I don't wear heels, but I'm drooling), I have to admire her positivity! She's been a huge inspiration to me lately.
I particularly love her "Things I Love Thursday" and her weekly resolutions. As it is Thursday as I type this, I think I'll kick off my new goal of actually writing a real blog by talking about what I love!
♥Applesauce! I've been packing my breakfasts and lunches for work every day, and tiny applesauce cups have become a staple. I'll tuck one into my office fridge, and it's a cold, delicious treat without any guilt!
♥Hellboy II: The Golden Army! I haven't seen this yet, but you can rest assured that I will be the first in line to see it next Friday! I've been a huge fan of the comics for years, and del Toro made a masterful cinematic version. Supernatural antiheroes with a passion for kitties? Check. Pyrokinetic girlfriends? Check. Doug Jones? Check. Epic battles? Check. Happy Bee? Check check check!
♥Battlestar Galactica! Fans of this show are as passionate and obsessed as fans of LOST -- and with good reason! I watched the first two seasons in three days (mainly because I have a healthy attraction to Lee Adama) and I love the intrigue, the religious overtones, and the wonderful, wonderful casting.
♥Sock Knitting! Every summer, I go back to my prolific sock knitting. When it's slow at work, I can knit at my desk -- and I have at least an hour on the bus each day, which means that I can crank out at least a pair a week. It's the perfect project -- portable, lightweight, affordable, and with endless design possibilities. My goal is to knit 25 pairs of socks by the time classes start again in September, and I have five done so far. I need to pick up the pace!
♥Weekends at Home! I tend to spend every free weekend at my family's house, especially now that my younger sister is moving to Chicago at the end of the month. I can make all the jokes about free food and free laundry, but there's nothing more relaxing than watching British sitcoms with my mom and dad, knitting, and cooking dinner for them. I'm so blessed to have such a great family!
I'm smiling so hugely after writing that! It's time for a snack, for more sock knitting, and for some more Vicar of Dibley with my mom. I'll be posting a bunch of finished knitting projects this weekend, since I can take advantage of my dad's amazing camera.
Yay summer!
