* The gym - Post-workout euphoria is almost better than sex, and in this crappy town, definitely safer.
* Masala - I can't decide if it would be better or worse if he knew how to talk, because the thoughts I create for his expressions crack me up and what he's really probably thinking is "eat. sleep. go for walk. sleep. eat. get belly rubbed. sleep."
* Escazu chocolates - I recommend the Beaufort Bar. Get one for yourself, ASAP. You won't be sorry, and it's totally worth the cost. I promise. Would I lie to you?
* Bridget Jones
* Random phone calls from 2 old friends
* Sleep. Lots and lots of sleep, especially way past alarm clock going off. Wait. Is that good or bad?
* LOLCats - my favorite so far this week:
* This week's Goop newsletter - I know, that site is totally cheesy and kind of pretentious, but Gwyneth has good intentions, so I visit it from time to time. This week she asks several "sages" about why humans are inclined to think bad thoughts, how it adversely affects us, and how to keep it in check; she calls it the "evil tongue." An excerpt from one of the answers that I keep coming back to:
When we speak positively and refrain from evil speech, we surround ourselves with more and more positive energy, therefore sustaining our spiritual growth. Conversely, when we speak negatively about others, our words stay with us wherever we go, blocking our happiness. For instance, when we wake up in a bad mood for no apparent reason, Kabbalists explain there is a reason. The energy we created by maligning someone’s character yesterday adversely affects us today.
One's personal thoughts on Kabbalah aside, the heart of this lesson, I think, is very valid and definitely worth putting into practice. It's all about karma, people.

Greg & I give voice to Boss and Hank and even the other kids (before they could really talk) and amuse ourselves endlessly. I am sure you are right that the actual thoughts would be much less expressive.
Does anyone else watch Fringe? I am all about karma and going along with emotions and such, there was a guy on there that hyper emoted and could "infect" others with his feelings. He could literally "light up a room" if he was happy or make it so dismal and depressing. Anyway, I feel your moods and thoughts do follow you and so you should surround yourself with more positive thinking all around. . .
I can vouch for that Escazu chocolate. Worth the cost, and I am a cheapskate. But also a chocoholic. I am eating one row at a time, trying to make it last... YUM.
Glad that you are finding ways to keep your spirits up. Sorry to hear that things aren't looking like you hoped on the job front. And I can totally understand the letdown after having fun with friends. I am still a little depressed that my sister and her husband left over a week ago!
