inspired by my reading of the happiness project by gretchen rubin, i am instituting monday "gratitude" posts (read here for more detail), where i will list "3 things i'm grateful for" from the previous week.
1) my 3 favorite 2010 world cup teams (USA, ENGLAND, DEUTSCHLAND) all made it out of the group phase. although i obviously wish USA could have gotten that win against ghana to keep going...
2) one of my first and best childhood friends had her first child, a healthy baby girl (congrats to a and m!)
3) i discovered a new tv show that is so in my wheelhouse: party down. i watched the entire first season this weekend. it's a very arrested development awkward humor kind of comedy, and i ate it up. season 2 is now airing on starz, but since i don't get that channel, i'll have to wait for the dvds to fully catch-up, but watch! it's good, i promise! (bonus: the always amazing jane lynch was in season 1, to be replaced by the just as awesome megan mullally in season 2!)
here's to another grateful week.
