Replaying Life's Momentary Pleasures

Okay, I'm READY for another week of the kiddos.


If I type it, will that make it true?


In my total procrastination that was today, I took a quiz on "Self" about what makes me happy...


Your results indicate that you are more likely to succeed in becoming happier if you practiced:


Savoring life's joys. Paying close attention, taking delight, and replaying life's momentary pleasures and wonders, through thinking, writing, drawing, or sharing with one another.


At first read I was like "paying close attention", "drawing"?! This is clearly not me. But then, I read it again and I realized, "replaying life's momentary pleasures and wonders through WRITING" = blogging :) Yea! I'm so glad this quiz was able to quickly discover exactly what is my true happiness in life.


Life's pleasures from yesterday include...



  • Wine tasting at Nashoba Valley Winery :) Eric and I try to make at least one visit to this place a year. I might have to go twice this year though because they only have the Spiced Cranberry Apple wine I like around the holidays :)


  • After wine tasting, tailgating a winery... and yes, we did invent this (in case you were wondering)


  • Taking terrible pictures of tailgating the winery, I have no idea why Eric looks so angry with me. I do not recall him having any problem with me taking the picture!

Really I do not know what was up with our picture taking...

Obviously we were having too much fun for pictures. With this spread, how could we not?

Yes I realize that is a lot of beer for a winery, but Nashoba is cool because they sell wine, beer and whiskey :)


Ah, if only life momentary pleasures lasted into Monday...


What was the best thing you did this weekend?

  7. That is awesome that you tailgate at a winery! Too funny. I love the look on Eric's face in that one photo, though!

    The highlight of my weekend was having dinner at a French restaurant where the food was ah-mazing and then going to an orchestra concert. It was a perfect date!

  10. Fun!! I love wine tasting. And, I love that picture of Eric. I don't think he's mad, I think he's just being funny, and that's QUITE a face!! (I'm acting like I know him better than you, but that's just my guess!).

    My weekend involved a bit of wine, but mostly work because it was the first weekend the store was open, so we all worked extra. I'm pooped!
