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.
