I have been in a bit of a negative mood, for reasons I may go into later (or that you may have noticed on Twitter). So I think it's a great time to focus on the positive, yes? Some of my favorite blogs post either things they're loving or things they're thankful for at the end of the week (here and here for examples!), so I thought that might be a good bad-mood buster this morning.

You guys. I started this book on Wednesday... and finished it Wednesday. It's only 277 pages, so it's a really quick read, but totally fun to get into and has some really beautiful language. I think I'll be re-reading at a slower pace.
I don't have cable in my bedroom. Pat took his nice TV with him to Denver, but I have an old one that can play tapes and DVDs. So, with my two snow days this week, I busted out my old VHS of Beauty and the Beast and Hercules. I still have a couple more, too.

I got to see this beautiful lady (who you might recognize from Orange is the New Black) speak on campus last night and she was wonderful. So funny and well spoken and crazy smart. So glad I got to hear her speak! Have any of you watched Orange is the New Black?

I would be even more on the struggle bus today if Kate and Tamara didn't talk me down. Thanks, guys.
What are you loving this week?
