simple loves:

the kittens sitting at the very top of the Christmas tree

that my favorite coffee is just easy peasy instant generic Walmart coffee

a hubbie who makes it for me every single morning (xoxoxoxox)

McDonalds french fries (so good that they don't even need ketchup)

the first scoop of Nutella from the jar

amazon.com's price scanner thingie

Jo Malone Fresh Mint cologne

saving a terrified bug from the evil clutches of 2 little huntresses

that i have the very cheapest SLR on earth and i looooove the pics and "simpleness" of it

my 135mm f2.0 (which undoubtedly helps it take such lovely pics :)

really tight hugs and 5 second+ kisses

making Vegas roadtrip playlists (especially Christmas ones:)

Sam asking me to put Rage Against the Machine on his iPod :)

Japanese dollar stores

seeing my kids read by themselves

vodka sauce on fettuccine

the Learn Spanish app on my phone

datenight at our favorite little Mexican restaurant (where if it was on the menu, i could order a large red apple now:) also this little place is infinitely better than the fancy place we went to on Saturday that required a reservation and form fitting clothes.......

a mailbox full of Christmas cards

Trader Joe's

waking up completely surrounded by warm cats and dogs

it being almost an even year again (not so fond of the odd ones... though the last couple were pretty even in temperament...)

Sam's hair (adorable and teenage:)

tickets to see Dr Drew's Lifechangers next week!!! (please don't make it be a weight loss show... and if so, please don't weigh us on the stage and then make fun of us... oh gawd, maybe we shouldn't go.... bleck)

driving a brand new car in the rain

google maps - i explored all my overseas friends' neighborhoods before mailing their Christmas cards :) Japan was completely fascinating and i want to go to there!
