LouAnn,
Because you ask so kindly…
Annie Hall must be the movie that brings me bliss, each and every time I watch it.
And my fedora hat, which covers the mess that is my hair…
Le Clown
ah, a fedora–my favourite too–though mine is straw and falls off in the slightest wind
I know you will not be able to believe this but I have never seen Annie Hall–though I have been known to dress like her (when I was younger)–a gap I must fill
My bliss movie is either of two,, Ben Hur or The Alamo [John Wayne preferable] my favourite author is Terry Brooks.. ;)
Thank you – John Wayne was one of a kind–and the more I learn about him, the more I am impressed
Will have to look into Terry Brooks….
Bliss word? Calm. Bliss food? Italian. Bliss activity? Reading. Clothing? Pjs. Author Vonnegut. Movie that’s a hard or I have several: Sleepless in Seattle, Blues Brothers the original, of course, person: my hubby
Love your bliss word and bliss activity and my bliss person is my husband too

This was fun! Reading the other too. What about you? :)
love your answers, particularly serendipity (I think I knew this about you)
Lou, it’s impossible for me to narrow down writers, movies are book to just one, but here’s a couple. Ralph Waldo Emerson — one of my bliss writers. Love Actually and Boys on the Side — two of my bliss movies and my bliss person, well that’s hubby. (bliss clothes — jeans, tee shirt). Bliss activity…painting, reading, writing….see what I mean? ;)
you are much like me–I can never narrow down books or authors but I agree with you about Love Actually–it is one of my favourites; jeans usually but I need to lose about seven pounds and they will be comfortable again–thanks for playing along–my bliss person is the same as yours–but my hubby not yours (though from your description yours sounds pretty darn good!)
I meant “movies or books…” sigh. I wish WP would give a commenter a way to undo stoopid grammar errors. That would bring me some bliss. Jeez.
that would be one of my greatest blisses
3. My favorite “bliss” activity is listening to John Prine while taking a walk.
Thanks for asking.
and thank you for answering — now I better find out who John Prine is
If I have inspired just one person to find out more about John Prine, I count this comment worth posting.
I Googled him and listened — I will go back–thanks for introducing him to me
Bliss food: vanilla ice cream with salted caramel sauce
Bliss person: my grand daughter Sophie. What about you Lou?
I like both of your blisses–must try that salted caramel sauce and Sophie is a good choice all the time–tomorrow I will blog about my favourites–but you are my favourite bliss sister!
1. I have several, but the first one that comes to my mind today is “home”.
2. Easy – Chocolate cake with chocolate icing (not surprising right?)
3. Hands down – reading!!
4. Any pants that have Lycra in them LOL!! ( sooo comfy)
5. Can’t pick just one – Deborah Harkness, Diana Gabaldon, George R.R. Martin, Ken Follett….I could go on and on and on.
6. Definitely can’t pick just one – I just love movies!!
7. Why you of course :)
boy, I like the answer to number 7–all the others too of course–I could guess number 2 and 3 and I love your choice of home–it is absolutely one of my favourites
Lately my jeans are getting a bit snug–I should look into that Lycra thing!

My bliss food, the high indulgence version: cheesecake and coffee. The healthy version: apples and peanut butter. My bliss activities would include losing myself in a good book, going to the beach (or anywhere near the ocean really), and spending time with family/friends.
what kind of cheesecake? I love losing myself in a good book–one of my favourite gifts is a gift card to a book store
What fun to sit here, riffling through all the possibilities !!!
bliss food – creme brulee, solitude is bliss, as is reading a good book… bliss book – hardest of all.. Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker’s Creek… film – Greta Garbo in Camille… bliss person – all babies, and my grand-children…
babies are blissful — creme brulee and solitude–both answers I find more than appealing–must look into Dillard;s book
favorite bliss words–peace, tranquility, happiness
love all those words and their meanings
I like this (and so do many others from the response rate!)
1. holiday
2. cookies & cream icecream, and salmon roe (not in the same bite!)
3. getting hugs from my girls
4. a frivolous furry vest thing…its like wearing a blanket to work
5. Tracy Chevalier
6. Under the Tuscan Sun
7. my girls & my parents
holiday–good answer and I loved Under the Tuscan Sun too–my parents were my bliss but they have departed this earth, so they are my heavenly bliss I guess now-
-will have to check out Chevalier
a furry vest that is like wearing a blanket–definitely bliss
My bliss activity is watching movies – I love them all, though my favourite of all time is Harold and Maude. Chocolate is blissful, my husband is still my favourite and most comfortable person to spend time with, author is WO Mitchell or Bryce Courtenay and word would be quiet. Combine all of those and it would be a very blissful day.. possibly boring to others, but perfect for me.
I love your day and your choices–they sound like bliss to me times two
Ive been home sick this week, so am indulging in a bit of quiet, movies and chocolate. Its been nice.. but Id actually prefer to get back to work.
I am so sorry you are sick- (((hugs)))
:) Thanks – Im on the way to feeling better. The kids brought home the plague last week, which has unfortunate side effects when coupled with the MS. Ive got a bit of a speed wobble, but it gets me out of housework. Theres always an upside. ;)
I am glad you can see the upside–now take care of yourself :)
bliss clothing-a soft expensive black handmedown sweater from my daughter – i’d never have spent the money-that is so ratty when i walk little black fuzzies fly everywhere but its warm and comforting. bliss activity – canning. bliss person-my kids. bliss movie-right now my guilty bliss pleasure is secretariat-silly and i know it will move off the list but for now. bliss word-serenity
I like your blisses- particularly serenity–and I love other people’s canning – Secretariat–must look for it at the library
