(This is part one of a series about The Happiness Project, by Gretchen Rubin. For more on why I picked up the book, click here. )
I think Gretchen’s first chapter, about ‘boosting her energy,’ is my favorite so far. In fact, I’m willing to bet it might remain my favorite throughout the entire book. (I’m only five chapters in, but as it contains bits about exercise AND organization, I’m pretty confidant.) Continue reading “high energy (or, THP: Chapter One)”
I’ve been reading Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project (I know, I’m a little late to the party), and after only a few chapters two things stood out to me:
1.) I’m fairly certain Gretchen and I were separated at birth and/or we could be very close friends. Every word on those pages sounds and feels like it could come from my own mouth.
2.) Everyone should read this book. EVERYONE.
OK, so this is a *bit* later than I’d like, but things have been especially hectic over here these past two weeks, and it will be about another two weeks until it slows down, but it’s aaaallllllll goooooood, mon.
*Disclaimer: You will see virtually NO photos of us from the entire weekend. Yet again, we were ‘photo-challenged’ (as my mom puts it) and failed to take A SINGLE PHOTO TOGETHER. Seriously. Where’s Andrew and his camera when you need them?!
My parents visited for the long weekend, which was INCREDIBLE. My parents are in DC and we’re all pretty busy, so visits are few and far-between; it’s a good year if I see one or both parents more than once. Having them come here and see how much work we’ve done on the house–especially the backyard–was really neat. Also, my mom and I have birthdays that weekend just a day apart, (it gets better, too–my grandmother’s birthday is the day after my mom’s) and I grew up celebrating all three of our birthdays together, either at Bamma’s house in Virginia, or at our house in Pennsylvania when we lived there. It’s been a number of years since we’ve done that, and Andrew and I have been out of the country the past three years over my birthday, so it was really special to be with my parents again. Check out the beautiful cake my dad picked out for our BBQ Monday: Continue reading “Memorial Day Weekend”
