Things I Love

It's been a long time since I showed my pretty face around here. Life has taken over and I just haven't had time, or energy, or desire, or whatever, to stop by this little space. 

I don't feel like doing an update today, but I think a little things I love may be in order. So here we go.

Things I've Been Loving in my Extended Absence:

• The amazing love I get from my husband, daughter, friends and family.
• Our trip to San Diego this August. Can I bring that weather HOME???
• Seeing a wonderful couple get married.
• Naked Juice Smoothies when I'm too lazy to make a green smoothie for real.Which, lately, is quite often.
• Meditation and Yoga sessions."I am beautiful. I am loved. I can do amazing things." Positive self-talk goes a long way.
• Cake. The food and the band, actually. 
• Crunching Ice.
• Watching my little girl start preschool. What!!
• My electric stapler at work. It's the little things!
• Getting an extra week of vacation this year for my ten year work-i-versary. 
• Shel Silverstein poems. 
• Cooler weather. Sort of. At least knowing it is coming since football season is in gear!
• The amazing things IV steroids can do for my body. Even though I partly hate them for their side-effects. Bastards. 
• Black Eyeliner. 
• Platinum Blonde Hair!!
• All the books I have been reading, from Neil Gaiman to the Divergent Series to random other things. And also, the fact that my mini-me loves to be read to as much as I love to read! 

I think that sums it up for today. Lots of love over here. Maybe I'll be back soon. :)

helping this guy get a forever home

(a quick story: on friday morning my bff said someone had contacted her about finding a Boston Terrier a home. We were complaining about people being asses and thinking animals are disposable. I thought of someone who may want him, and he was indeed wanted. The guy was picked up by the guy and now has a real forever home where he will be cherished for his life's duration. and my heart swells with happiness that i could help...)

rare moments of quiet when this guy squishes on me

bubble blowing dance parties/there is something so peaceful about blowing a bubble and watching it form and then become and then float and then become less and less until it vanishes

Things I Heart

I just want to add here that it's a given that my husband and daughter go on the top of this list. And my cats. Don't forget those bitches. I love doing these lists, and they are mostly for myself. A snapshot of life RIGHT NOW, simple things that I want to remember forever and ever.
