A New View

Today I biked to the library. 8 miles round trip. I felt like such a bad ass. A new view I got on my ride today.

Sassy Fun Hair

Today I recolored my hair so it is vibrantly orange again!

Snowman Crafts

I love giving ornaments as the nametags on presents because it's like giving two gifts at once. This year I decided to make snowman ornaments while watching Elf and cuddling with my Dangerbutt. :) Yay Christmas time!

Walk Time

Today Puppers and I went for an extra long walk. Excerise + bonding time = a very good thing. :)

Squeaky Toy

My Puppers loves attention and toys and playtime. Now, Husband doesn't particularly like squeaky toys because, let's face it, they can be a bit annoying. But sometimes they are a very good thing. Puppers can entertain himself and be happy, and his girl grownup can still get things done. Win-win.

The Stockings Were Hung

....by the chimney with care. Well, on the wall. Near the fireplace. But closer to the TV. But wherever they are, they are fun and getting me in the holiday spirit! :)

Christmas Shrubbery

My family decided that this year we were going to cut down Christmas trees ourselves. We were envisoning hot cocoa and mittens and a forest full of towering pine. Meaning, we completely forgot for a moment we live in the American Southwest. Day of, it was 70 degrees and we had to find the most 'tree-like' of all the shrubbery. But the day was fun and full of unexpected surprises and lots of fun. So here I am with bones of some kind. Like I said, unexpected. Haha. A memento of our Christmas shrubbery adventure!

Black Beauty

So, I have a weird addiction to Black Beauty books. Any time I see a new one, I want to adopt it and bring it home to my beautiful library. I found this one today and it's no exception. I haven't gotten it yet, but just seeing a new Black Beauty book made me quite happy.  :)

Being Thankful

Since today is Thanksgiving, I am going to put ALL my good things on my list. Some days it is hard to choose just one, but today I am going to share them all. Because I am grateful for each and every one.

Thanksgiving day cuddle. :)

 

 A delicious french toast breakfast, made by Amazing Husband! :)

 

Coming home to our home and enjoying a warm crackling fire. 

 

Watching the Macy's Day parade for the first time. Ever. Husband thought me watching it for the first time was hilarious, but I really truly didn't know the floats stopped. And so many people sang. I think I will have to watch this again sometime. ;) 

 

Delicious homemade turkey and cranberries and sweet potatoes and corn and green beans and apple pie and salad and carrots and sparkling apple cider. And each yummy bite eaten with loved ones. <3

Rock Show

Tonight Husband and I went to a rock show and it was kick ass. Great band, good people and fun music.

Backyard Gardening

Or....beating the crap out of this monstrous plant I hate. It's always dropping leaves everywhere, bugs love to hid in it, and the branches are dangerously thorned. But today I worked outside in the beautiful day, enjoyed a refreshing beverage, and pummeled it into submission. And me winning is a good thing. :)

Batman Cartoons

Today was a little bit of a rough day. But luckily Batman is up for any challenge and my bad day was finally defeated. Thanks Caped Crusader! ;)

Foot Rub

So I am the most spoiled wife ever. Tonight Husband gave me a foot rub and it was awesome. Not only a good thing, one of the best things ever!! :)

Tamale Breakfast

This morning while we were at the farmer's market Husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a yummy tamale breakfast.

Spontaneous Movie Date

Husband is amazing and this morning he took me out for an impromptu Friday morning movie date. We saw the new Bond and it was kick ass! So much awesomeness today!

Chai Tea Latte

Today I enjoyed our cool weather with a hot chai tea latte. Deliciousness in a fun winter cup! :)

Pink and Pearls

Today was a girly day and my good things are my cute pink shirt and my pearl necklace. Looking sweet and sassy. ;)

Baking Skills

So, Husband loves yummy baked goods but I am not a talented chef, pastry chef or even a great cake froster. But I am wanting to learn, and today I mastered creaming butter and sugar. Now Husband will have yummy pumpkin chocolate chip bars. :) And happy Husband is a good thing.

Park Playtime

Puppers and I went over to the grass area by our house for chases and playtime. Always so much fun. ;)

A Crackling Fire

It finally got cool enough to throw a log in the fireplace and light a fire. From the gentle warmth and campfire smell to the hypnotizing flames and peaceful amber light, this is one of my favorite things.

Vintage Archie

So my sister and I are huge Archie fans. So when we found vintage tumblers and comics at an antique store, we were super stoked. Yay vintage Archie!

Rip Van Winkle Sleep

So today my good thing is getting in bed early. It was the most perfect, relaxed sleep and I slept forever. Rip van Winkle amounts of sleep. And it was awesome.

Puppy Cuddles

I mentioned Dangerbutt.....well this is him! This is my puppy Danger and he's awesome. Puppy cuddles are definitely a good thing. :)

The Library

Today I found my local library and got a new library card under my married name. And it has a picture of a car on it. Win-win.




 

A Good Book

Today I started reading a new book I have been very curious about. I was at BnN, so I had to put it back, but I discovered that yes, I am going to like this book.
