the simple life

Today was a good day.

I threw together chicken pasta and a spinach salad for dinner.  With a full mouth, B told me it was "so good."  Then he did the dishes.

I knew the answer to Final Jeopardy.

After dinner, B and I watched The Social Network. I loved it. In my eyes, Aaron Sorkin can do no wrong.

Now I'm headed to bed to bed to read a few more pages of 100 Years of Solitude before falling asleep. I'm nearly 200 pages in and I'm still not sure what to make of this book. I'll keep at it and see how I feel when the pages run out.

I can't help but think that sometimes the little things are everything.

Today was a good day.

I adore that book! Keep reading :-).

So with you on Aaron Sorkin. And on great days.

Your evening sounds great! I'm so glad you had a good day.

Oh we loved Social Network too! Such great dialogue in that movie. We had a cozy night too, I guess it's going around... :)

I watched The Social Network tonight too...after whipping up a gormet meal from the fine folks at Lean Cuisine.

Love this. You're right, sometimes the best days are the simple ones! Hope you're enjoying your book more!

little things are most certainly everything--couldn't agree more! and yes, i have gotten the final answer to jeopardy only twice in my life (the kid episodes dont count-ha), but those were some GREAT days, too ;)

Sounds like a lovely day. It doesn't get much better than Jeopardy, good food and reading a book! I've never read 100 Years, but it's on my shelf to read someday. Have you read Love in the Time of Cholera? I read it a few years ago and was a little underwhelmed. It wasn't bad, I just had a hard time getting through it and it really didn't speak to me (I sound like a hippie). But I've heard good things about 100 years. Can't wait to hear what you think of it.

It is the little things that put the biggest smiles on our faces. Thanks for taking a moment to reflect and jot down your good day!

Sometimes the little things ARE everything.

What a lovely thought.

I love this post. Appreciating the little things is what life is all about. Contentment is the key to happiness. Thanks for the reminder of that fact. And I'm dying to see the Social Network!

Ha that is a great book before you go to sleep - it put me to sleep for several weeks straight - longer than it usually takes to finish a post.

And what a perfect simple day :)

So glad it was a good day. I keep forgetting about The Social Network! I've heard so many good things about it, I don't know why we haven't seen it yet!

jill said...

I watched "The Social Network" on Tuesday too. It was pretty good. Based on interviews I have seen of Mark Z, some of the scenes seem unrealistic, but maybe they are.

It really is the simple things! Like last night I spent it on a 'date night' with the hubs...we just had a bottle of wine and talked. It was so nice to just...be. :-)
