8:11-lovely girl time with Katie and Ellen (and some vintage meryl streep). Yesss. :-)
8:11-wine, candle, bubble bath and Ingrid Michaelson. Sigh. Relaxing before the night's festivities.

8:11-easter din at Red O (two thumbs way up) w/ some of my very favorite people.
While those 8:11 pics are definitely happy fun times, I think I must agree with T.S. Eliot when he states in his poem "The Waste Land" that "April is the cruelest month." It was my hardest month of 2011, anyway. As such, I think I should end this post with a few points of gratitude. Anytime I'm sad or stressed about something, my wonderful mother (who just so happens to also be a wonderful therapist) tells me to make a "blessings list," and it never fails to help me feel better. :-)
Gratitude
1.) My great, encouraging, caring close friends (both in LA and far away).
2.) The glorious weather lately... its almost beach season!
3.) The fact that I get to go home to see my family next week for Daniel's graduation.
4.) My new(ish) car. Several months later, I still really love it. :-)
5.) My job. I'm really grateful for it (even when it's a tad stressful and overwhelming).
6.) My incredible chair in my living room. It is quite possible the comfiest chair in the world.
Works like a charm... feeling a bit better already. :-)
Happy May darlings.
xoxo,
Annie
I love you and your blessings list my dearest Annie. What a great, positive action. I think I'll do that right now :) And I was born in April. So I think that weakens your statement of it being the cruelest month right?!
