Hooray For...

(yes, I know this is my 3rd post of the day, but the others were from last night)


1) A rainy day.  For the fragrance of rainy days, and how they make you warm inside and in a snuggly mood. For the way the room smells when you leave a window open and that crisp rainy air travels in.  For the way it makes your sheets nice and cool, and your bed more inviting.

2) Target.  When I'm bored, or even need to clear my head, I go to Target.  I usually buy something, nothing crazy, but that's not the point. I like browsing the aisles (there are so many), daydreaming, looking at linens and decorations that I wouldn't buy, and just wasting time. 

3) Little girl presents.  K's little cousin is going to be 3 next month.  We're like her honorary Aunt and Uncle.  Three is such a fabulous age, and presents options are endless.  I think the best presents involve the most creativity.  So, we've decided to expand her closet and add to her dress up clothes.  Oh, dress up clothes.  How beautiful, how colorful and prissy.  Sequins, faux lace, beads....I love it.  Love it.  I really couldn't decide.  What I love about Target is, they feature Fancy Nancy dress up clothes.  They are the most unique looking dress up clothes I've ever seen.  It's like Betsy Johnson for little girls.  And look at this phone!   Don't you want one for real? 

4) Peeps.  I'm not a big candy person.  Not even really that crazy about chocolate.  There is something about yellow peeps though.  Not Halloween or Valentine peeps, that's just blasphemy.  Yellow peeps are perfect.  And you know what's awesome?  My grandma, all 3000 miles away, sends me an Easter basket every year, peeps included.  Complete with 10 bucks hidden in a plastic egg.  Life really is good. 

5) Wedding parties.  We worked together and sent out thank you's to our wedding party. Seattle's Best Coffee (Pike Place 40th Anniversary bag) and a Seattle guide for everyone who isn't from the area. They don't know it's coming, and we're excited just to think about their reactions.  87.5% of our party are not from the Pacific NW.  75% have never even been there.   I'm excited to get married, but really excited to show everyone out here where I'm from and what Seattle is about (I hope it doesn't rain).   You should have seen us at the post office, 7+ boxes between us. 

6) Having time for pop-culture.  I watched Oprah and Dancing with the Stars today.  The only time I catch those two shows on the same day (or at all) is during the 1600 and 2000 med passes at work.  I feel like a real girl!
