I have been on blog-hiatus for quite some time now, busy with life and also avoiding public writing. I have, however, decided to at least attempt to re-start my blog habit in order to write about the many new experiences I have daily as the mother of a seven-month-old.
As my re-inaugural post, I thought I would start with my favorite things of the moment.
1. Setting L in front of the floor-length mirror that is our closet door when I need a minute (to take a diaper to the laundry pail, use the restroom…). I return, always, to a joyful child, waving her arms in the air and talking rapidly and loudly to herself. Today, she was leaning into the mirror, nose-to-nose with her self.
2. Free coffee. My husband works at his school’s bookstore/coffee shop, and I get coffee and tea free. Yay!
3. Jogging. After a loooong hiatus for pregnancy and its aftermath, I am back to jogging somewhat regularly. When I was pregnant, I constantly looked at joggers in envy–”that should be me!” I would exclaim, my heartbeat speeding up in memory of the adrenaline rush of moving quickly on my feet. Now, it is me!
4. My husband. But that is a whole blog-post of its own.
5. Watching Stephen Colbert through Hulu. Hulu is the television-less family’s best friend.

What is Hulu?

Hulu is a great website that offers free access to television shows, such as The Colbert Report, The Office, and Hell’s Kitchen, as well as some movies. You can view in full-screen, and the commercials are very few and very short. It’s great!

I’m pretty stoked I made the top five, and am pretty surprised that ice-cream didn’t!
