Things I Love Thursday
perfectbound
It's Thursday again! I seriously anticipate writing this list every week, and if it serves no other purpose than to give me something to look forward to, then it is worth doing.
- Empty days I know there are people who can't stand not having things on their to do lists, and while I sometimes fall into this category, this week I was glad to have a few days where there was nothing that I absolutely had to do, nowhere that I had to be. Wednesday was spent sleeping in, watching movies, cooking tasty food for myself, and lounging on the porch with the felines. It was lovely.
- Screened-in porches I adore having one, and I think Puck and Marilyn do too, evidenced by the photo. The three of us spent the afternoon sitting there, and they ran and sniffed and pondered while I read a book and sipped a glass of water.
- Pretty food Taking the time to make my foot attractive makes me happy. Herbs and fresh pepper on my eggs (which is also tasty), basil chiffonade and cheese on top of my pasta - it doesn't hurt anyone, but it makes me feel better about the food that I'm eating, so I shall continue to make my dinners pretty.
- Netflix A repeat, I know, but it gives me the freedom to watch things that I may not like, without the obligation of owning them. I've never been a huge renter, but Netflix works for me. I send them out from work most days, and it makes checking the mail when I get home extra fun. Last night's movie was Blood Diamond, which made me very glad that I shelled out the extra bills for conflict-free diamonds when I bought my earrings last year.
- Anticipation For going to see Slumdog Millionaire later, knowing that I get to come home and find movies in the mail, for Bradshaw's visit this weekend, for what comes in the next chapter of the novel I'm reading, for going home for a weekend, for pretty flowers and the chance of one more great snow. Anticipating things makes life more interesting, I think.
- Tidbits tonight's forecast (storms!); caramel frappuccinos; renewed love for the digital camera; lovely books; not sleeping with the space heater; new playlists (thanks, Bizz!); puffy hair; Grease 2; accidentally swearing at the innocent; clean dishes; pasta sauce with lots of garlic; spending an hour on this post; Twitter updates; red jackets; colored lights lining our sidewalk; Kate Winslet's Oscar win; dry erase boards; late night soup; slow showers; fresh herbs; horoscopes - time to read for March; the sound of rain against my window right this very moment, and the lightning that's coming with it; observing feline intuition; dressing in costume tomorrow.

Today I love knowing I'll be there within 12 hours, leftover Sunchips, your typo saying you decorated your foot, cupcakes, and my ability to buy opening day baseball tickets today. Ha, there's 5. :)
Today I love waking up refreshed from a good night's sleep, hitting all green lights on the way to work, and a no-obligation weekend to do whatever I want.
I love getting that feeling in the air that summer is coming, discovering new music that makes me smile, realizing I still have money on some of my giftcards from two Christmases ago (haha I suck), and Girl Scout cookies! Even though eating too much of them makes me sick. They're still awesome. xD
I love 1) getting to know new people 2) this random pig that sits next to my computer and 3) snow without ice.
