Life Under Construction

Posts Tagged ‘Glee’

I LOVE…  feeling genuinely happy.  Lately I’ve been feeling down, often times like there is nothing to look forward to and I’ll never smile again.  Which is a lame feeling.  Today I feel happy.  I’d like to keep this up, please.

I LOVE…  that this week Christina uncovered Bible Fanfiction.  BIBLE FANFICTION.  Do you understand what that means?

I LOVE…  finally wearing pants that fit me.  I put it off for far too long, not wanting to acknowledge that I’d never fit into my size 3’s again.  I guess this means I’ve accepted that I’ll never be the size of a 16 year old as long as I live.  And that’s good… right?

I LOVE…  that there are only 86 more days until my birthday.  ♥

I LOVE…  Pampered Chef!!!!  Lauren had a Pampered Chef party last night and I filled out an order form for some wicked awesome kitchenware goodies that I can’t wait to use!  Like the egg slicer.  And the food chopper.  And the green color coated knives.  (( Can you NOM cooking utensils?  Because I want to…. ))

I LOVE…  the Twilight Saga.  I finished reading Breaking Dawn (for the second time) last night and it was even better than the first time I read it.  Is it sick that I already want to read them again?  Right now?  I won’t.  I’ll wait at least until Breaking Dawn comes out in paperback and I can own it.  I’ll wait.  But I don’t want to.

I LOVE…  owning books.  I dislike borrowing books more than I dislike lending them out.  (( shudder ))  That’s a lot.  I like to own them and know they are mine.  What if I want to read it again?  (( No, I don’t have a library card – in case you were wondering.  I haven’t had one since I was 10 years old. ))

I LOVE…  GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE…  lazy mornings.

I LOVE…  this week’s episode of Glee.  It was so happy, especially after last week’s episode (which made me so mad).

I LOVE…  tortilla chips and salsa with sour cream.  Last night Sarah picked up this awesome jar of sweet salsa, it was probably the best salsa I’ve ever had (read: totally was).  I ate so much of it I felt sick.  WIN!

I LOVE…  mellow scented candles, like a soft vanilla or light fruity sent.

I LOVE…  the way it feels to balance my checkbook and have all the numbers come out right.  I literally love balancing my checkbook.  It feels so GOOD.

I LOVE…  that I was asleep before 1am last night.  w00t!  Hopefully it will continue so that I can get back to my regular sleep schedule.  This going to bed at 2am crap is lame and makes me feel groggy all day long.

I LOVE…  laying in bed in my quiet apartment, daydreaming about things that I only share with one person.

I LOVE…  feeling like the possibilities are endless, and there is no limit to what I can do with my time and energy (you know… if I had any energy at all ever).

I LOVE…  when it smells like snow outside.

I LOVE…  that my bedroom is the warmest room in the whole apartment.

Gwen Bell’s Best of 2009 Challenge:
December 11 The best place. A coffee shop? A pub? A retreat center? A cubicle? A nook?

The best place, for me, is sitting in my car in the driveway at night.  I can’t explain why, but sometimes when I get home I just want to stay in my car for a while.  Only at night, though.  Not so much during the day.  I’ve done this for years, ever since I was working nights at Cumby’s.

…knitting a scarf for no one.  I’m just knitting for the sake of knitting.  And it feels good to do something with my hands while I watch movies and TV shows and whatnot.

…thinking about making a vlog.

…cranky.  Cranky cranky cranky.

…in love with Celeste single serving frozen pizzas and I get really excited when they’re 10/$10 at the grocery store.

…actually enjoying being unemployed (I had zero doubts, however) so far.

…working on staying awake on only 4.5 hours of poor sleep.

…really loving the new browser based Heroes of Gaia game on gpotato.com.  I’ve been playing it for three days now, and it is awesome sauce for time wasting.  At least until I get bored with it…  I haven’t had this much fun in a browser based game since Kingdom of Loathing.

…looking forward to tomorrow.  I don’t gotta be unemployed to look forward to the weekend!

Any of you waiting to see Eclipse can watch Tom Milsom’s special super awesome version here (BEWARE the uber silliness).

Gwen Bell’s Best of 2009 Challenge:
December 10 Album of the year. What’s rocking your world?

Two very awesome albums have rocked my world this year:  Hank Green’s This Machine Pwns n00bs and Glee: The Music, Volume 1.  I very seriously can not pick one over the other, they are both that good.

I LOVE…  snogging my husband.  I miss him.

I LOVE…  doing I LOVE…Fridays! every week.  It’s my favorite blog to write each and every week, except maybe this week my favorite was Trust me.  You WANT to read this. (AKA the time I almost killed a man) but I still love my ILF.

I LOVE…  writing.  It’s the only thing that’s challenging that I actually WANT to do, as opposed to all the times I realize something is challenging and give up (which is always).

I LOVE…  how Anissa’s friends and family and all the ladies over at Aiming Low are praying and pulling for Anissa.  She had a stroke this week, and she needs ALL your prayers and well wishes.  If you want to help out the family in any way you can, go to THIS PAGE and fill out the form.  I’m praying for Anissa.  Are you?

I LOVE…  Twitter.  I kind of  stopped using broke up with forgot about it for a while, but with this awesome TwitterGadget doohickey I added to my iGoogle home page a couple weeks ago, I remember to check and update it a lot more.  Like fifty times a day more.

I LOVE…  Twilight.  It’s true.  I make no secret of my love for all things Edward Cullen.  Going to see New Moon this afternoon with Sarah.  It was my least favorite of all the books (because there was practically no Edward!) but the movie looks good.  When NaNoWriMo is over I’m going to re-read them.

I LOVE…  Edward Cullen.  You’ll probably get a lot of that from me in the next few days…  SINCE I’M GOING TO SEE NEW MOON.

I LOVE…  that John Green likes Twilight.  No, Siriusly (<- I love when I do that)… he does.  PROOF!!!!

I LOVE…  Edward Cullen.  What?  I said that?  Oh, well… I do.  I love him.

I LOVE…  this song…

I LOVE…  the Glee mash-up of Young Girl and Don’t Stand So Close To Me.  Mr. Schue totally NAILED it!  I have to say that I love all the Glee mash-ups so far.  I really look forward to more of them.  :D

I totally went all Linky McLinksalot on all y’all today with this great amount of links I’ve posted (and by great I mean ‘large’, not ‘really freaking cool’), but I swear they are all awesome (and by awesome I mean ‘really freaking cool’).

I LOVE…  that I’m able to talk to my husband as often as I am.  I’m grateful every day.

I LOVE…  that I call him a blogger, and it disgusts him.  :D

I LOVE…  days when I write furiously because I can really feel the emotions of my characters.  I actually cried a little bit on Wednesday night when I was writing a particularly heart wrenching scene.

I LOVE…  having silly conversations with my friends that make me feel awesome.

I LOVE…  that Glee was back on this week, and it was so totally worth the wait!!!!!  Each episode never feels long enough, especially this week’s, but it’s always awesome.

I LOVE…  Café World on Facebook.

I LOVE…  sleeping through the night and waking up without the stress of having had a severely messed up and stressful dream.

I LOVE…  that 20SB is now partnering with ItStartsWithUs to help make a difference in the world!

I LOVE…  The Chartjackers song I’ve Got Nothing.  Basically you just need to watch the video, because it’s these great guys working for a great cause.  THEN go on iTunes and purchase it.  I am ordering you to do it.  Then tell all your friends to do it.  You can ONLY buy this song on iTunes, so hop to it!

On a totally related note, everyone should pick up their phone and call all their local radio stations and ask them to play this song.  If they don’t have it, tell them they should!  (( Yes YOU, I’m looking at you! )) I’d love to hear this on the radio!

I LOVE…  that you guys keep coming back to my blog every Friday to tell me what you love.
