I believe this is one of those small moments that makes life taste like a fine Italian pasta with homemade Italian sauce and all those fancy Italian herbs instead of Kroger brand $.99 "Cheesy Noodles". Here I sit, watching "Julie & Julia" with my wife (her pick) and thinking about, of course, two things--fine food and blogging. And as I'm watching, I realize, "I haven't blogged this week yet." All forces combine and, viola! This week's post.
There are, certain small things in life that just seem to motivate me, such as a at-first-completely-uninteresting-sounding-with-below-average-previews-yet-increasingly-charming-movie. I find myself wanting to suddenly bone a duck and write a witty blog entry. Other motivations I'm gaining from giving in to my wife's Redbox wish include the desire to be more contageously optimistic and sprinkle random green things on my cooking creations (which include mostly ham, cheese, pickle, and onion sandwiches).
The one thing I don't need any movitvation to do is this: to cherish the sweet, funny, moments that are so small that they don't make books or magazines or even chick flicks with bad previews. The only spot in history these little life spices make is those moments where Krista and I laugh so hard we can't breathe. Well, I guess that's not true--the other place those moments end up is, of course, our blog.
I love my wife, her food, her blog, our moments, and yes, I even love that little silent face she gets when I want to watch some mindless, no-plot guy movie and she wants to watch and uplifting and touching "women's cinematic experience".
