When life gets me down, I tend to rebound by trying to stay up. So today we are packing for a vacation that is still two weeks away...we are house cleaning, playing with Barbies, playing with the Wii (I'm a kick ass pro bowler kids, have I mentioned?), playing Zhu Zhu pets hair salon, reading and baking honey whole wheat bread. It is bitterly cold outside after the snow storm we had. Although it looks sunny, your nose hairs freeze into tiny slivers the minute you open the door.
I am sending out positive vibes and happyness to those who need it. (Deliberate misspelling, in my mind there is a difference between the two.)
So sing! Even if you are off key and missing some of the words like I am in this video.
Bake, even though it is misshapen and a funny colour-it will taste great just ask any ten year old.
Thank you to My Courageous Life for the uplifting snail mail, it couldn't have arrived at a more needed time. I get choked up just saying that. Love to her a thousand fold!
Things to look forward to:
A meeting with two blogging friends who happen to be two of my oldest friends in the Universe soon...can't wait!
Working out to Mad Men, Season One...an episode every day for two days, then one day off-and so on as the pattern. Also giving up the red wine has melted the calories off me...just thought I'd share that. I drink cinnamon tea now instead to relax me before bed, so much nicer! So excited to start Mad Men!!!
Playing in the snow as soon as it warms up. Snowmen, snowwomen, and snoweverything the minute we can tolerate the cold. Hot chocolate too.
Escaping through videos (watching and making), reading, creating, sorting, chatting and cooking.
Make a video of your life and link here so I can see it. Darlene made one and she was so adorable and inspiring I had to follow suit.

Giving up the red wine before your visit to Cuba?? Well, at least you haven't given up on mint leaves and white rum! ;)
Happyness...I LOVE it and I will intentionally misspell it that way from now on in your honor, amiga!!!
My son is always playing Wii (mostly hockey). I will have to get into other games, so when we meet I can challenge you...WINNER gets a mojito made with AMOR and HAPPYness!! xo

So excited that you're going to Cuba! No doubt you'll have a great time and will come home with lovely photos and wonderful memories. Just read Cuba Diaries, fascinating account of life in Cuba from American woman who lived there for three years. xoxox
