#101; things made of muchness
It’s Friday, and of course, I’m in love. A Friday list of a different nature… 10 things that are made of, to quote the Mad Hatter, muchness. [Of course I saw 'Alice in Wonderland' this week, I'm a dork! This weekend I'm looking forward to 'Remember Me' and maybe a 'Dr. Who' marathon...]
- Starting my morning commute off by stopping to say hello to the grounds keeper of the church next to my house.
- Every lovely incarnation of Carroll’s ‘Alice’ (especially the Syfy version, which I’m still obsessed with, but Burton’s was very pretty as well!).
- Macadamia nuts.
- Weekends with no plans whatsoever.
- Days that go like this: watching Congressional hearings on my favorite topics from the warmth of my K St office, meeting up with the DC Young Republicans for inspiring speakers and club business down on the Hill, heading to U St. to see some of my favorite local musicians do their thing at a packed Solly’s Tavern, and being home before 11 to curl up with my cat and sleep very soundly.
- New Music.
- Sneaking chocolate snacks in the morning with my coworkers. And ice cream at the office.
- Friends back in town on their respective spring breaks.
- Chuck, my newest addiction.
- Loved ones who truly respect & support me, through everything, despite their own agendas or desires. Friends who want me to the best version of myself wherever that takes me in life. Friends who will take me to the theater to get my mind off of things. Who will cancel their own dinners and plans because someone really needs them. Friends who invite you out to hookah in the middle of a Thursday night. Friends who know all my secrets.
The line in Alice re: muchness was probably my favorite from the whole movie. I loved it. Muchness is a fabulous idea. I aspire to have it. Don’t we all?
I love Alice in Wonderland in pretty much every form ever and am so glad to see so many versions out lately. It was one of my favorite books as a kid and still is to this day. Speaking of, I should try to find that book. I had a really awesome antique version of it when I was young, which my father and I read together.
New music, chocolate, and Chuck are totally awesome.
I’ll be posting a list of my own lovely things soon, too. I promise to come back and leave a link.

I’d have to agree with a few things on your list there:
“heading to U St. to see some of my favorite local musicians do their thing at a packed Solly’s Tavern”
Many thanks for coming out to our show yet again!! (wish I’d been able to get home before 11:00! ha, just kiddin’
“New Music”
and the OLD music too, as you know I really dig the classics (of all genres from pop, punk, alternative, industrial, country, alt-country, classical, jazz to, well, I guess that’s it
“Loved ones who truly respect & support me, through everything”
Yeah, that’s a big one, good call
If I weren’t running on 5 hours sleep and exhausted from moving all my furniture 3 feet away from the walls, completely emptying out my closets and unplugging all electrical devices, I’d have a list of my own for you, but alas, I am about to collapse (dang neighbors gettin’ bed bugs and making me have to go through this nonsense as a preventive measure to ensure that I don’t get their bed bugs, blah).
head falls on desk…
