Multi-tasking Happiness

There are plenty of things in this world that make me pretty happy, but let’s face it: I don’t always have time to enjoy them. I’m busy, you’re busy, we’re all busy, people. That’s why it’s important (and I’m pretty sure the Bible would back me up on this¹) to look for ways to maximize happiness while minimizing time & effort expended.

One way to do this is to combine things you love into one amazing amalgamation of awesomeness. Think chocolate & peanut butter. Think Frank Sinatra & Christmas music.² Think Will Ferrell & figure skating.

I still remember where I was when I heard that Will Ferrell was making a movie about figure skating. It was a Thursday morning upstairs at Café 28, where I was meeting with my bible study before work. Someone mentioned Blades of Glory. I may have clutched the table. I may have spilled my coffee. Certainly CJL said it was the most emotion she’s ever seen me display. That’s what happens when you smush together two of your favorite things – stoicism flies out the window.

Prior to today, I considered the Ferrell-Figure Skating marriage to be the most effective combination imaginable for exponentially increasing and efficiently multi-tasking my happiness. Apparently I wasn’t using much imagination. Could it get better, folks? Yes, it could. Because what do I love maybe even more than figure skating? That’s right – Broadway. And where is Will Ferrell heading next? That’s right – Broadway.

Editor’s Note: Trafmeister Jenn-eral – what can I say? Pack your bags and get down here! We gotta see this, and there ain’t nobody else I’d want to see it with more than you. :)

¹No. It wouldn’t.
²Yeah, you know I broke out the X-mas music already. In my defense, it was snowing³ in New York City yesterday, so totally ‘tis the season, right?
³No. It wasn’t. But there was white fuzzy matter (tree pollen or something) drifting down all around Midtown and I heard several other pedestrians wonder out loud if it was, in fact, snowing. Despite it being 60+ degrees.
