Adding Bliss

Hey Baby, What's Your Number?

 

 

Last week while going about my usual morning routine, working out while listening to the New York Times on my iPod, I heard something that almost made me fall off the treadmill.

What Will Your Six Things Be This Weekend?

"Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination" - Jim Jarmusch(stolen from this book.)

Every Friday I'll be featuring ways to spend your weekend Adding Bliss neatly organized into the six blissful categories of: Spiritual Bliss, Chronological Bliss, Physical Bliss, Intellectual Bliss, Financial Bliss & Relationship Bliss.This genius idea was lovingly borrowed and modified from one of my favorite blogs.

 The hubby and I have decided to make 2013 the year of Living Well Below Our Means. So this weekend I'm going to try my hand at couponing. I'm hoping to someday graduate to extreme couponing but I'm taking baby steps. I'll be sure to keep you posted.

In the meantime, please check out these awesome things I found to keep you entertained until Monday...

What to Bring to an Audition, Besides Talent...

My Sundays are supposed to be my days off to relax and unwind, but usually end up being the busiest days of my week and this week was no exception. I woke up at six in the morning to finish a three tiered, seventy five serving cake for a 1st birthday party, deliver the cake in Brooklyn at four in the afternoon, totally missed a good friend's bridal shower and then headed to midtown Manhattan for a three and a half hours of auditions for my husband's production company. We met some great talent,  some not so great talent and maybe I was just sensitive because I've had a long day but a lot of the stress of the auditions could have been avoided with a little audition etiquette. If you're not an actor, with a little tweaking these principles work the same in job interviews, business conferences & book club meetings...

Who Will Hire Me & My ADHD?

Featuring Guest Blogger: Marquia Garcia

Hello, and welcome to my sob story (this is one of many).

Not only do I have ADHD, I am unemployed and I have been for about a year. I am a single parent and the only degree I possess is a PhD in Procrastinating, Anger and Day Dreaming. The first few months of unemployment went as so: take child back and forth to school, bike riding, job search, collect unemployment benefits, merrily stride through the park, window shopping, utter bliss. As the winter months slowly dragged on, I found myself falling out of love with my newfound freedom. I comforted myself with my literature habit, which is more like a drug (I’m a self proclaimed bibliophile), junk food, museum outings and the constant changing of my hairstyle. To no avail, I was without halt, slipping into an awful depression.
