Day 67

Broken spoon Ben n Jerry ice cream Bliss!

Had been craving ice cream the past 2 days and I usually don't crave ice cream, but my bff Salt told me about her fav B&J ice cream, the oatmeal cookie crunch flavor. Oh i know, I had been proud of my creation, my breakfast of champion "cookie dough oatmeal" (please refer to Day 60). So Salt told me about this flavor and ice cream was on my mind. So today at lunch we went and each got 2! Great sale, 2 for $6 Woohoo! came back and broke my silly plastic spoon carving and scooping away. It was pure blissful ice-cream-eating-spoon-breaking moments!!

I got the chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate fudge brownie. Verdict: Choc chip cookie dough!

Day 66

LUCY BLISS!!!

OMGOMG I met Lucy! lol ok ok I know that it is an actress but still, I was SO excited to go take the picture with her. Gotta hand it to her, she stayed in character the whole time. Lucy makes me happy. Those that know me well know I love I Love Lucy! I have Lucy slippers, checkbook, wallet, books and drinking glasses. Many days after work I have dinner with Lucy. The show in general just makes me happy and feel safe in a way that is hard to explain. It brings me to childhood, to happy times, to feeling at home. I can and have watched the same episodes over and over and over. Stilllll makes me laugh and blissfully content.

Day 65

Panera both sandwich bliss!

Please don't ask me to choose because I can't! Went to pick up lunch and couldn't decide which ones so decided to go the healthy route. Ordered the two with lowest amount of calories (they still sounded super yummy) and got the mediterranean veggie and the tuna. OMG both were amazing in flavor. Could not for the life of me pick one. I choose both! Both Bliss! You know how some people believe that you can love 2 people at the same time? I am not here to argue that. I am here to tell you world, that you CAN love both sandwiches at the same time!

Bow Heel Bliss...

Snagged these heels from honey's store! Scored! All right I will be honest and candid with you here.

unBashful Bliss...

In the name of love and name of business I ventured out to the side of the street of our shoe store plaza with above sign "Honk if you like you like my shoes" and happy to report that some honks did come my way! Ok, some were inappropriate, but most were good!! And one young couple even walked across the street into the store! For your viewing pleasure I included the said shoes in sign.

Day 57

Mother's Day Mom Bliss

Every year my mom works on the day of Mother's Day so we always celebrate either before or after the real Sunday, which works out great because we can avoid the madness that occurs every year out in brunch world! This year we went to Langham Huntington in Pasadena for brunch and it was pretty good! The hotel grounds are beautiful and we took lotsa pictures together! It was nice just mother and daughter! And I am sure my mom enjoys walking around with her giant daughter hah!

Day 54

Bootcamp Barf Bliss!

Agreed to go to my prima's friend's bootcamp class and dang that kicked my big fat butt (as pictured) It was about 40 minutes long and the instructor had time to snap a quick pic to see if I would really barf! lol! It was excellent tho. Many times throughout I fantasized about going Wolverine on the other instructor's face, but in the end did have to say a sweaty sore thank you! Great workout! Sense of accomplishment was pretty sweet too!

expected bliss: 20, unexpected bliss: 34

Day 53

Skydive Bliss!

Awesome adrenaline rush for Alice. I haven't gone skydiving since Hawaii a few years ago and again this thrill was just what I needed! There had been a lot going on in the past few weeks and I was looking forward to this. Sure, signing documents over and over covering the fact that I will not sue for any bodily injury is not the best foreplay, but inching over closer to the door of the plane makes up for it! THAT foreplay was intense and I just want to go back and revisit that excitement again. Oh and yes. On the jump down I lost my right shoe. So hope my shoe did not bonk anyone on the head!

expected bliss: 20, unexpected bliss: 33

Day 52

Bean Cheese Rice Burrito Bliss

Say that 10 times fast. Bean cheese rice burrito bliss x 10. BCRBB. The gang went to get lunch together at a lil spot called Miguel's Jr and I had the bean cheese rice burrito wet style and it was gloriously good! Oh! but before we left, there was extra bling bliss when i heard the familiar sound of a coin touching the ground and was surprised and excited to see that the teen that dropped his coin did not even seem to care. So i told him that he dropped his dime, he said he didnt care and didn't want it so I asked if I can have it, he said yes, and picked the dime and a nearby fallen penny up and walked out of the place a burrito and $0.11 richer! woohoo!!

Day 51

A Sprinkle of BFF Bliss

"You are my sanity."

Aww that was what my bff said to me this morning. We were talking about the possibility of if we didn't work together, that it would be boohoo sad. Just when I thought I was part Chinese and part looney, (and don't forget I do the Insanity workout) I get this and it brightens my day!

So, world, do this today! Tell people what they are to you! (happy thoughts people!)

expected bliss: 19, unexpected bliss: 32

Day 50

Halfway through....my b-moment seeking journey has reached its halfway point on Day 50. Thinking about it...it feels like it went by pretty fast. Each day had moments of bliss, whether "big" or "small" or however significant. Regardless, they were mine and real to me. Looking at the bliss score card, the current score is:

expected bliss: 19, unexpected bliss: 30

It tells me what I suspected all along, that in life, we know certain set things that make us happy and make us feel excited to be alive and to be able to feel what we feel....but it's those unexpected moments that will catch you off guard and create the bliss that makes it more worthwhile to live with our eyes and hearts open. Wide open.

Kids: Forrest Gump was right: Mama always said, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get!

Reflecting on this midpoint realization is b-blog-worthy. Salud to the next part of my b-journey.

Day 49

Bulldog Bliss

Got off late from work and decided to get a pizza from the Gourmet Pizza Shoppe. I had been craving pizza since a few days ago and decided I needed to treat myself! So here is the Bulldog pizza I ordered, with chicken and spinach and tomato and mozarella cheese. The crust is amazing. Funny coincidence, for lunch I had spinach and chicken too! Totally recommend this establishment! Mmm Mmm blissfully good!

Day 48

Zzz Bliss

Ahh....sleeep.....the past weekend I have been extra tired and busy with the new store and other activities. Slept late on the night Day 47 and woke up snoozing away morning of Day 48 wondering how I would survive. But I did! After work I got home and did my Insanity workout because I knew that it would give me extra energy. Did that, packed up, headed to our store and closed up, then Mr. Honey and I did some more rearranging and organizing and then got gas and finalllly got home. Showered and had dinner and watched The Office...and then hit the ZZZs hard. The past few nights have been blissful during bedtime because as soon as it was lights out, we were just out. Love those moments where you can just fall asleep right away while our brain rearranges and recuperates. Just didn't know how MUCH I'd love it this time!!

Day 47

Elegant Diva Shoes!

Hellooo world, check out my new booties! In case you can't see clearly, that is brown with gold studs. My first new pair of shoes in a very long time! Got this sexy thing at none other than......me and honey's new baby.....Elegant Diva Shoes, our own store!! I have had my eyes on this beauty for a few weeks now, so she is my first!! :)

We opened for business for the first time on Day 47 and it was a blast! Super tired yes, but very exciting and awesome! There is so much that goes into owning and running a business!! I know no matter what it will be a great learning experience and we will have each other to depend on. We made sales, my mom came to visit and bought a pair of shoes, we talked to our neighbors, trained 2 new girls and balanced out the register correctly at the end of the night YAY!!! Cheers to the next step!

Day 46

Cabin in the Woods

I have been on a lifelong search for the perfect horror film and so when I heard great reviews for this movie I knew I HAD to check it out to see for myself. Reviews said this is NOT what you expect for a horror film and boy were they right! I had been pretty tired from the day....so this was a great way to take a break from all the energy spent on other things....the honey and I got In n Out, which by the way I am disappointed to say I can't really handle fast food so my belly ached the whole time although it tasted magnifico! So back to the movie....Definitely not what you would expect so watch it and see for yourself! I was quite tense for a few parts where honey told me I was shaking, but it was great suspense, action, and of all things you would least expect, COMEDY! freakin funny and super entertaining. If this were a blog dedicated to my lifelong search for the perfect scary movie....then I would have to say that the search continues, but I had a blast on this cabin in the woods horredy/com-horror (combo of comedy+horro)!

expected bliss: 19, unexpccted bliss: 27

Day 45

The Money Pit

What a movie. I laughed until I cried throughout this hilarious movie! Tom Hanks and Shelley Long play a couple that end up buying a house that is just pure crap and completely falls apart on them. It is so freakin funny. It has been awhile since a movie made me laugh so hard!! Probably not since Slingblade!! (mental note must watch that one again soon!)

Day 44

Friendship bliss...

I got the nicest message at work today from friend M-bear. I had messaged her to say hello and that I missed her and she wrote to me:

I have been thinking about you these last couple of days! I just wanted to share with you what a positive influence you have been on me. Thank you for always trying to motivate me and put things in a happier place for me! It is nice to be surrounded by someone who is always looking at things in a positive manner and encouraging me to see myself differently! I miss you too! Work has been a little busy lately and so many things have been on my mind. Thank you for being such a good friend to me. I just needed to make sure that you knew that!!

Awwww...well M-bear, I love you too. These random moments of warmth and friendship always make the b-moments shine bright.

Happy Administrative Professional Day

I love it when there is reason to celebrate! Day 43 was the day to honor our support peeps and we did a breakfast. There was oatmeal with brown sugar and dried fruit and butter and milk, egg burritos, donuts, fruits and 85 Degree bakery goods! If you can see those 3 little desserts with strawberry and mango, I got those for our 3 staff and I am glad to see they loved it! One inhaled it! :) When times are tough and people have a lot of work, but get the chance to slow down and enjoy each other's company with food, well, it makes a perfect b-moment for yours truly!

Day 41

Total Bliss. This movie is ridiculously funny and has an all-star cast of comedians. Seen it several times, but had the honey watch it tonight with Costco rotisserie chicken, mixed greens, walnuts and strawberries. Pre-dinner drink was a shot of blue agave tequila which gave me an immediate buzz. Mixed with some of the best lines of this movie produced a lovely Monday night, 41st day of bliss!

Favorite lines:

The wrong kid died!

Dewey! I been halved!

Day 40

Music Bliss

Sunday night honey accompanied me to a concert to enjoy the music of Andrew Lloyd Weber so the performers sang songs from Evita, Wicked, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Starlight Express, and.....Phantom of the Opera!! We got free tickets donated to us at work to celebrate our 40th anniversary for serving people with developmental disabilities. The music was phenomenal.  It was so beautiful and amazing, I had to keep wiping tears away. A cool bonus was that the two that sang the duets from Phantom were actually husband and wife in real life! Got to talk to the husband after and tell him that I knew their music was amazing because I could not stop crying and I cry when I am touched by the magic of musical bliss. This picture was taken outside the theater.

Tomas....ooh oooh ooooh Tomas. LOL had a blast on Day 39 at Danny boy's 4th Bday party (refer to Day 5 for Danny). My better half wore my jacket and shirt and sunglasses and I painted and we transformed honey into Cepillin, this clown character that Danny loves to sing to! The best part was seeing Danny truly believing that his beloved clown was really at his bday party!!! Too tender and sweet and blissful! Even Danny's mom teared up! Awwww......and ahem btw, I have got to start booking honey for kid parties!

Meet Ocilia from the animal shelter. She is about 2 years old and her breed is Havana Brown. Such a pretty girl it was hard to walk away.

(just checked the website, she is still available for adoption!)

Day 35

Sorry no picture for this bliss post. This was a funny moment at work. Cracked me up big time. So I have a co-worker that has already left the agency. Let's call him Chris. He left at least 2 weeks ago now. I noticed that even after Chris left the agency, his status for his instant messenger program was still green, so still active. I told my buddy in the IT department of this occurence. Next thing I know, this conversation occurs:

Chris: sup gurl how u doin?

Monday cooking bliss

So sorry, been a bit behind on blogging my bliss, it's been happening, just not documenting on time! Mondays are me and the honey's anniverweekery days to celebrate. It was Happy 91 weeks for us on my 34th day. For this meal I baked fish, brussel sprouts and cooked quinoa and spiced it up with basil, white pepper and fresh squeezed lime! it was tasty and now that I take a closer look, the quinoa was served in the shape of a heart! Bliss occurs when the honey has it and smiles and I know he enjoys it!

Say what??

Made the sweetie drive back just so we can get this picture of the nail salon we passed. Duck Feet Nails. With Mexican Style Designs yay! The other window said 3D nails. Lol it all sounded so funny.

Day 32

Buzzz Bliss

No you do not have vision issues. This picture is us in blurry buzz bliss. We went on a limo ride Sat night for honey's friend's birthday down to SD and it was a blast! The limo ride there was filled with loudness, music, alcohol and testosterone. When we got to downtown, we just walked around and in and out of different clubs and danced the night away! The limo ride back was definitely interesting, and Sunday when i repeated back parts of the night that were not remembered by the honey, it was pretty darn funny. Testosterone mixed with alcohol is ..... ridiculously funny. If only I had my own camera crew haha then it be a great reality show episode. Anyhoo I had a blast and enjoyed it!

Day 31

Foodie Friday with Mommy = Blissness

Got to spend Friday with my mom all day. It has been awhile since we did that. Friday was rainy and crazy weather-wise, but we turned wet windy day into warm fun day by adding mom-time with food trips. We met at the Korean market and ate the Korean food in there, then hung out at home and watched tv. We had plans to go to Special Thai for the thai buffet, but that did not happen because their buffet was put on hold for the time being. So after discussing possibility of other choices, going from dimsum to chinese to sushi we ended up at the pho place where we each had a plate of pho and shared this yum fried chicken with butter garlic sauce dish. YUM. Brain went on a merry-go-around meets international food court when my mom made became my own I Love Lucy episode with the high dosage of mind-changing on what to eat. It was really fun tho, so def became my bliss moment :)

Day 30

Movie Night!

Thursdays before my Fridays off are the best. Long weekend, more time with babe and just overall a nice blissful feeling. We were in the pie mood so got us EACH our own medium Pizza Hut pie. Mine was half cheese and half sausage/mushroom and we topped our slices off with chimichurri sauce, avocado and had mixed greens on the side. Awesome meal. Paired with one of my favorite Jet Li movies! It was the perfect evening!! These are the b-moments to always look forward to.

Day 29

Music is Love

These days I really believe in signs. Remember when I said on Day 15 that I wanted to play piano for seniors in homes? Tuesday night out of nowhere I thought about the goal I have and how I need to get a move on the plan. So the morning of Day 29 I went to youtube in the morning to find a song to listen to while getting ready for work. When you go to the youtube homepage it shows random videos available to watch. I never look at those. I usually just type in whatever video I want to watch. That morning for some reason I looked down and saw the title of the 2nd video listed:  Old Man In Nursing Home Reacts To Hearing Music From His Era. I thought wow, I have to watch this.

I got to work and watched it. It was amazing. Shows the video of a man at a nursing home who is non-ambulatory and is usually just slouched over and not very active. The recreational therapist decided to try music therapy and put headphones on the man and when he heard music, he came to life. It is so powerful. Touching and sweet and beautiful. Tears of joy galore at work! It really hit me how much I need to get on this plan!

here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKDXuCE7LeQ

This is what he says:  "It gives me the feeling of love, romance. I figure right now the world needs to come into music, singing. You’ve got beautiful music here, beautiful, lovely. I feel band of love, of dreams. The Lord came to me, made me holy. I’m a holy man so He gave me these sounds."

Day 28

Happy Chusday to me!

Perfect addition to my healthy meal! The chicken reallllly hit the spot (please refer to Day 7) and made my veggies taste even better! Don't worry though, I think it's ok. I got home a bit after 830pm from work, then did my Insanity workout, Cardio Power & Resistance and sweat it out.

Day 27

The Price is Right!

Bliss! Us girls went to be in the studio audience for the game show The Price is Right on Monday! it was a BLAST. bliss blast. Everyone should go at least once. We almost didn't make it in, but we were the 2nd to last group to get in. 4 other ladies got in after us and that was the last group they let in. This was an all day outing. We got to the line around 1030am, then got in past the gate probably after 1230, then waited to get our nametags and group picture taken and finally to the interview before 4pm! They do interviews for group of 12 people and look for enthusiastic energetic people. The lady that was in the group after us, Bess, was so cute. We could tell immediately she would be picked. She was from NY, visiting her family in CA and was heading back to NY the following day. We all told her that she would be picked to be a contestant. And she was! Now, here is where it gets better. (as if being picked to be a contestant wasn't sweet enough!)

Bess got picked to be a contestant. Then for the round she bid on, she won. For the game she played on stage, she won. She won a year's worth of movie tickets, flowers and groceries! Then when she spun the wheel, she got 50, then 50 again (goal to get 100) so she automatically got $1000. Then spun again for a chance to win $10k if she gets the 100. She spun. She got 100. Another $10k! For the final showcase, she bid and won a trip to Grand Canyon, Ireland and a Jeep! With each win, us girls got more and more excited until we were crying out of joy for her. It was so amazing and so meant to be.

It was originally supposed to be 8 of us girls going. Had all 8 gone, then Bess and her family wouldn't have even gone in. God works in miraculous ways. Bess deserved it, the sweet caring soul she is. We had gotten to know her in the long waiting of the day and were all so happy to see her get this.

Btw this episode will air May 2nd. Watch out for the tall asian girl in the back jumping up and down. It's me!!

oh, had to share this pic. Took it while waiting to find out if we get in. It's hard to see, but that crosswalk sign says Sausauge Xing. HAHAH! That red shot behind is a sausage cafe!

My Bess Bliss was amazing and I was so happy to get to see and be part of this. Oh and Drew Carrey is so cute and funny!!!!!!!!!

Day 26

Spin the Wheel!

Spent Easter Sunday first at Chuck E Cheese with honey and his little ones and had a blast! After all, it's where a kid can be a kid. There was one game we played that was seriously a group effort. Got a small bruise and a good workout playing Hit Hit Alaska. In case you can't tell, I am posing next to the The Price is Right wheel game. (Hey!! it's a sign! We are planning on going on an Alaskan cruise, and I had plans to go to the Price is Right show the next day!)

After Chuck E Cheese we went to the park for a few hours and it was so much fun! I cannot believe how many people go to the park on Easter! Oh, one highlight was when the ice cream lady came and honey got me a strawberry ice cream bar! Bliss!

Day 25

Doggy bliss

Remember Miss Kirby from Day 18? I thought she had already been adopted, but she was not yet. So when I got to the shelter on Saturday I happily took her out. We relaxed on this bench for quite a while where she napped to her heart's content and I blissfully just sat and enjoyed the day. Later Kirby came to lay on me for awhile which was great. Until....

I noticed 2 strange stains on my pant legs. Finally realized she had her period on me!! This was a first. I went to a staff member and was told that Kirby will be adopted very soon and just needs the final procedure to get spayed. Ah. Kirby in heat = bloody pant leg for yours truly.

So I go to the restroom to try to scrub the stains out. Didn't do well on the scrubbing I guess. Looked down and saw that the scrubbing did however, leave me 2 hearts. Awww. Special I felt that afternoon trying to rid my pant leg of blood left from a doggy. :) Then moved on to walk other dogs. Took a little one, Justin, out for a walk. And he did this.....

Ripped my shirt! He was so excited by the smell of Kirby all over me that he full on attacked my shirt! It was ridiculous to the T. Chewed through my shirt, kept jumping up and down all over me, continued to tug at my shirt, and the final straw was when I saw the hole in the crotch of my jeans! *blush, blush* Sorry Justin, back in you go, you horndoggy! :)

Well, I definitely felt very desired that sunny 25th day!
