“How I abhor this place
Its sweet and bitter taste” - The Decemberists

Sunday was intended for writing. I had blocked out a few hours prior to my yoga class...and let me stop here to say that while it may seem like I am a very well disciplined young lady, I am not. Case in point this morning I was supposed to be up at 6 for a run and whoopsie daisy! I got out of bed at 8:15. But I really did think hard about removing my ass from under the covers every time I hit snooze.

Moving on.

So, Sunday! I was going to write but then one thing led to another and next thing you know I was tooling around on Spotify trying to find just the right amount of Bon Iver to The Decemberists ratio. And just like that a playlist was born and I had one thing written that needed to be done and as my friend Alana said - “HALF THE BATTLE”.

Below is what I listen to when I write and after announcing on Facebook that I made this list I realized that it might not be all that fantastic. I mean, for every one person who says “Awesome!” there will be four people who say with a yawn, “You listen to Mumford & Sons while writing? How revolutionary.”

And the winner is...

And the winner of a tangerine Belle Epiphanie bag is...#36: Melissa Schober.

How does she get her groove back?

Seeing as how I just finished a difficult stats exam and have a microecomics exam coming up (thanks grad school), self-soothing is a must. For me, time alone, to walk off excess energy followed by a long, hot tub soak (preferably after the kiddo is in bed so I can have the bath without company and the addition of Dora body wash).

Melissa, send your info to NoPasaNadablog@gmail.com
