22 things.

So, today has been a bit of an off day, not just for me, but for my favorite people, and my heart hurts. So I thought that dusting off the old blog and making a list might cheer things up. A list of happy things it is!

Things that are making me happy these days (in no particular order):

• New TV seasons. It may make me shallow, but I'm jazzed that the Gilmore Girls tonight is not a rerun. And Grey's Anatomy! WOO!
• Christmas idea magazines. I found this great one from Better Homes and Gardens and some of the ornament ideas are pretty and tasteful - I made several from one example last night.
• Fall. It's nice for a change not to sweat to death over lunch break. I can actually hear the electric company losing money. And see above: It's getting less and less crazy for me to be talking about Christmas stuff.
• Yoplait yogurt. Sometimes, I just go through these phases...
• Coffee. As always. I went through this thing with my throat - Don't take Doxycycline! - and had to go on coffee restriction for two weeks. Those were some sad mornings...
• Our porch kitty, Serious Black. A stray found us (Like we need three cats!) and it has long black hair but with these little white tufts coming out of his ears. And there's hair between his toes. And he has slate blue eyes. (we were goners from the start.)
• Home cooked meals at Mom's house on the weekends. Let me just tell ya'll - my momma knows how to lay out a fantastic table of food. And then snuggling up to The Boy and napping to football, it can't get much better than that.
• Wedding rings. YAY!
• Pretty, pretty wedding dress. I go get fitted tomorrow. Double YAY!
• Suprise yellow roses. I knew there was a reason I was marrying him.
• The return of a soup season. Hurrah for easy meals.
• My new makeup - Bare Minerals. It actually makes me excited to try in the mornings.
• Monday Night Football. I don't really care, but I still love it. Well, except for Joe Theismann.
• My bestest friend. She's the only person with whom I can just sit with a brownie and a cup of coffee and talk for hours. And who will let me put on an old Cary Grant movie for background noise.
• The Fray, Over My Head. This cd is the soundtrack to my life right now. Can't. Stop. Listening.
• Our Honeymoon cottage. Small, but perfect.
• Good, good sleep. Bad, bad alarm clock...
• The return of my button-up oxford shirts. They make looking polished in the morning almost effortless (and comfortable).
• My new jingle bell Christmas wreath. (see what I mean about the Christmas thing?)
• Wednesday night bible study through Psalms. Thank you Dr. Akin - I never knew.
• Having a caterer for the wedding. Ok. I can breathe now.
• Dooce, Pamie, Mighty Girl (and Mighty Goods), Sweet Juniper, Hashai, TWOP.

That's enough for right now. I guess.
