happiness is...

• blowing huge bubbles (or death stars as they are fondly known around here:) for little kids

• crusty french bread for lunch (nothing more, nothing less)

• my photo book being on it's way (it arrives tomorrow - yippee!!!)

• takeout containers full of chicken teriyaki (with lots and lots of char on it)
  

• a friend visiting for the first time and liking my house (i forget to like it)

• mini boden for having the nicest little boy and big boy clothes in the usa (via the uk :)
  

• fridays when school ends at 1pm

• homemade brownies that are fudgy enough to leave teeth imprints in them

• super creamy rich coffee

• fresh sugar lemon lotion

• trying to decide whether to pick strawberries, blueberries or cherries this weekend :)

• finding a u-pick grape farm (sure it's in Visalia but how far can it possibly be??! ok, 4 hours... that's not too bad, right?)

• completely empty days with nowhere to be, with time to go to fabric stores and kmart and new bakeries discovered on yelp :)
  

• watching RHONY (when they're fighting and having nervous breakdowns :)

• cats curled up in little balls fast asleep

• tillamook mudslide icecream - seriously the best icecream ever, bar none :|

• early nights :)
