oh happy day pt. 2

Filed under: love, playoffs — meg @ 3:55 pm

It’s the Superbowl!

With my boys, The New England Patriots.

And yes, I was a fan before all the successful runs.

I love watching this stuff — I get totally emotional and excited about it.

I think it’s just how I was raised.

But given a sunny Sunday, the deck door open to let in the fresh air, good food and friends around, and news of snow tomorrow…

Well, life just seems kinda perfect.

UPDATE: A loss, and a game where Brady didn’t look like himself. But he is still the finest QB going, and I love my Pats with all my heart. xo!

oh happy day.

Oh, chile… Friday was a long day at the end of a long week at the end (well, a day after) of a long month.

I was spent. 2008 is working me thus far.

I ended up falling asleep sitting up yesterday.

Whoa, you know? But every day is a new day.

And, given a new day, I did 10 things:

1. Slept in late after sleeping for seven hours solid. That’s rare.

2. Had peanut butter toast and coffee while watching HGTV in my pajamas.

3. Got the best manicure-pedicure EVER. Seriously. Why did I ever go anywhere else? This girl reefed on my calluses like she was digging her way out of prison. I have baby feet. BABY FEET.

4. Sat out on the pier in the sunshine and drank a caramel macchiato.

5. Became confused about Groundhog Day, and actually asked, “Now, what’s the thing they stick down the hole? What do they use for that? A gopher?” I still can’t explain where my brain went in that moment.

6. Took the longest, hottest shower on record with my happy brown sugar scrub, emerging both smooth and cookie-scented.

7. Crawled back into bed after that, giant towel wrapped around my head.

8. Got up, glammed up, went out for dinner (see above…)

9. Ate so much Greek food, I may well pop. And leave a faint smell of garlic in the air.

10. Caught my heel in the sidewalk next to my house, and squished my toe when I flew out of my shoe in a garlic-scented trajectory.

Best day ever? Maybe.

Spent too much money? Absolutely.

Relaxed? Almost.

And you?

well, this one kind of gets us back “in theme”

This is honestly one of my top ten songs of all time, originally released by Kenny Loggins when I was nine, but done here by two artists I adore: Marc Broussard and Sara Bareilles.

I also learned today that Kenny Loggins wrote “What a Fool Believes”, which makes me only heart him more.

I can’t help but groove. Happy Friday from your 1974 baby.


i needed this today… maybe you do, too.
