I’m not one to watch expanses of tv at a given time. I rarely watch more than an hour or two at a stretch. But I sat down and watched all of Gilmore Girls, A Year in the Life, in one sitting. And I had a lot of feelings about it. Spoilers ahead, for those who haven’t watched it. Continue reading “TV Thoughts: Gilmore Girls, A Year in the Life”

I have now read through Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project three times over the last month, and I love it.

Yes, we’re talking about Gretchen Rubin’s book, The Happiness Project, again. Two days in a row! Oh wait, there will be more tomorrow.
Rubin has a whole chapter/month dedicated to money, where she talks about having it, spending it, and finding joy in it. She sites examples from her blog regarding a little girl receiving an art set she saved for something “special” but by the time she got to it, her parents had given it away because she never used it. Rubin even sites in a blog post not wanting to use examples from her life, because what is she uses all the “good” ones up?
The Days Are Long, But the Years are Short
