Things I Love Thursday


This week wasn't about big things, it was about little things. Dozens of little things that made me smile and feel wonderful. It's the small things that really matter though, right? Like getting a high five from a cute kid or getting a lipstick sample in the mail that turns out to be the perfect color for your skin tone.

The History of Sex Have you ever watched this on the History Channel? It's an academic, matter-of-fact look at sexuality in different time periods. It amuses me to no end. And, because I do and read and watch everything more than once, I've definitely seen it before. Never stops me from tuning in when there's nothing better on. And really, if they're airing it after eleven years, someone else must be watching too.

The Magic School Bus "Take chances! Make mistakes! Get messy!"



Excellence A New York state gubernatorial candidate, the former owner of an escort service, said the following (and I paraphrase): "All politicians are prostitutes, and I think I'm the only person here who knows exactly how to handle that." Potentially the best political line I've ever heard. If I lived in New York, I would seriously entertain voting for her based on that alone.

All the little things Gorgeous fall weather and spending time outside in it; feeling well-rested; serendipity; discoveries that make me smile and feel connected; naughty dreams (a girl takes what she gets, yo); reading; "Are there fluffers for women?"; the return of the parents; pre-schooler high-fives; discovering Rick Riordan's new Greek mythology-inspired book; Italian-style bread; maintaining a manicure for a full week - it usually chips after a day or two and I give it up; maintaining a relatively consistent sleep schedule; super-swirly thoughts and sharing them; perfect lipstick shades; long, straight hair and having it.

Oh, love, please tell me what makes you smile this week! I'm so looking forward to reading your list!

That picture at the top totally sums me up - though I'm more of a fruit tea girl myself! x
