love thursday
I love:
- Not having to cook for consecutive days in a row,
- How fast my 50mm f/1.4 lens came back to me,
- Getting our cards to family and friends early, even though I did cut my list down this year,
- Eating a grown up lunch at one of Michael’s favorite Chinese restaurants, without kids,
- Having Romeo and Juliet on my laptop to watch whenever the hell I feel like it,
- Filling up my gas tank for $1.30 a gallon; $1.40 is nice, too,
- New clothes for the kids,
- Home made chicken noodle soup,
- Michael’s salsa, my mom’s guacamole, and my chicken enchiladas,
- Christmas shopping for the kids with Michael,
- The fact that Sadie has bounced back for the time being,
- Sitting around the kitchen table, laughing at stories my father tells,
- The smell of the house after cookies have been baked,
- Our new local grocery store,
- Taking said cookies over to Miss Beverly and talking to her for a few minutes,
- Davey’s new words and mannerisms,
- How awesome the kids’ dentist is and how handsome he is,
- The fact that not one of them has a cavity,
- More Christmas shopping—for the kids–with Michael,
- Staying within budget while getting some useful, interesting, and practical gifts,
- Not buying just to buy,
- Looking forward to Christmas with my family of six, and
- Not stressing about the holiday and just taking it for all that it is and should be.
