100 Days of Awesome: Day 9

Today’s Awesome Thing is: Eat the Damn Cake, a blog by “Kate” from Manhattan.

Why I think this is Awesome:

Confession: I stumbled on this blog several months ago, and only began rereading it yesterday.  However, it really hit home.  Kate is an excellent writer, and she talks about the sensitive issue of body image with insight and humor.  Plus, she has a gallery of readers looking fancy and eating cake (hilarious).  If you are female, and have ever complained about your body, then you should check out this blog.  It’s a great antidote to society’s message of fitting a mould to be beautiful.

Today’s Awesome Thing is: Sleep

Why I think  it’s awesome:  Let’s see… there are a myriad of health benefits.  Plus, dreaming can be very fun, wild and inspiring!  Not to mention how great it feels after a long night’s snooze.  Plus, when you wake up on the weekend and you know you don’t have anywhere to be, it feels really good.

Sleep.  It’s AWESOME!  And getting some is why I’m writing this post on Friday, not Thursday.

Today’s Awesome Thing is: This Photo:

 

A photo of a stuffed rabbit standing next-to/under the Eiffel Tower

 

Why I think it’s awesome:

This is a photo of my stuffed rabbit, Bunbun, hanging out in front of the Eiffel Tower.  I love this picture because it reminds me of my first real taste of freedom and adventure.  My last class in college was a study abroad program at Oxford University.  I headed over to England a few days before the program started, and then took the Chunnel train to Paris.  I was completely alone, and winging the whole adventure.  Bunbun still went everywhere with me, and I had this weird idea that I’d write a blog or something about “The Adventures of Secret Agent Bun!”  That didn’t happen, but this picture (along with several others) were taken for illustration purposes.

So, in short, this picture is awesome because it reminds me of traveling and creativity.  Woot!

Today’s Awesome Thing is: This Stapler

A picture of a stapler shaped like a fish

Why I think this is awesome:

Frankly, I think it just appeals to the child in me.  It’s so ferociously tacky, I can’t help but laugh.  I rescued it from a pile of orphaned stuff after the last round of layoffs at my company.  I cannot tell you how many days looking at it has roused me from a grumpy mood.  But there have been many.

Today’s Awesome Thing is: Lemon Moon Coffee!

A cup of coffee, from Lemon Moon

Why I think it’s awesome:

First off, a disclaimer: I’ve become a caffeine addict over the past few years.  Thus, I enjoy most coffee because it’s something that helps me wake up, and avoid a headache.  However, Lemon Moon‘s coffee is especially dear to me because it’s delicious, and served with a smile.  Also, when I buy a cup, I’m supporting a local business.  There’s nothing like moral superiority to perk you up in the morning. (I joke.  But seriously, supporting a local business is good for the economy.)

Extra bonus:  It’s right downstairs from where I work. So if I get sick of the free office coffee, I don’t have to go far to get my “über coffee” fix.

Extra-Extra bonus: Lemon Moon also has increadibly tasty breakfasts.  You can see their full menu on their website, and read their Yelp ratings here.
