favorite things

pinterest...
people weren't kidding... it's so addictive! and i swear my blood pressure drops at least 10 points by just clicking on that little white P :) today i made this, complete with crisp emergency one dollar bill :)


Jo Malone fresh mint cologne....
i tried all the other tea perfumes, including impossibly hard to find sweet lemon cologne mailed all the way from England... and fresh mint is curiously the only tea perfume i like... and i like it soooo very much i have three bottles of it dotted around the house/in my purse for i-need-to-breathe emergencies :) also: i am now addicted to mint tea sweetened with honey sipped from a glass cup :)

Target on a Sunday morning
heaven is a place on earth and it's Target on a Sunday morning :) (everything in stock/on sale/totally empty store/no kids - ahhhhhhhhh!)

bargains....
i am soooo not an extreme couponer (sick sick people).... but we forgot to use our coupon at the Home Depot (Hope Depot i prefer to call it...) last week and today they gave us $75 back, no questions asked :| that's enough money to go to Vegas! (any excuse - like i need one :)

Trader Joe's lavender dish soap....
yes i know it's called DISH soap... but sometimes when i fill my little soap dispenser thingie up, i 'accidentally' put too much in so it overflows and then i clean the entire kitchen countertop with the lavendery soapy bubbliness and it makes the house smell heavenly (and the countertops ridiculously shiny!

banana pudding....
i make it with less and less calories everytime... at this point it is mostly whipped air, fat-free vanilla pudding and bananas but still absolutely creamy and yummy.... and surely minus calories :)

silhouettes
we made them at Knotts Berry Farm as a cheesy anniversary gift and they took mere seconds to create... but i absolutely a-d-o-r-e how she perfectly captured their little boy profiles, in under a minute with nothing but scissors and black paper and two very twitchy can't-sit-still kids?! amazing :)

kittens
Violet was adopted in Beverly Hills yesterday (i hope she has a charmed and lovely life) so we just have Megan and Weasel left.... i love how tender and precious baby cats are to hold and cuddle, and the loud enthusiastic purring from such tiny fragile beings - they love everyone they meet: dogs/other cats/rats/kids with overly squeezy hands :)

picking fruit and making pies with it
it's that time of year i loooove starting Memorial weekend - blueberry season... then cherry season... then raspberry season... then pear season... and then apple season :)

Mondays with nowhere to be by 8am
after a million years of miserable Monday morning car/train/bus commutes to miserable offices, Monday morning spent speedwalking or shopping or just browsing new bedding online with no risk of paper cuts/cranky bosses/super busy phones, is just bliss and very much something i am grateful to my wonderful hubbie for :)

Martha Stewart
no explanation necessary :)

off to school, then Walmart for crepe paper and glue (pinterest strikes again).... back later xoxox
