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!

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!

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!)

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!!
