Picking Brazil out of the hat in the World Cup sweepstake at work. The £80 prize money is as good as mine. Ha!

Today's weather has been awesome in GA. Also, I got my Sonic Youth tickets!

sitting in st james' park with my best gal pals, a bottle or two of tesco's cheapest rose, and a duck. Whose name is Briiiaaaaaan, now.

The classiest park-bench alcholics on the block!

dancing (Even though my knees are f*cked up and I can't do all the moves, I'm fortunate to be as mobile as I am... having a paraplegic friend shifts your perspective.)

A seagull taking a bath.

Dancing.

My fleece hoodie.

surfing

cool water when you're thirsty

taking a mid-day nap

Walking into a diner where all of the staff knows you.

Walking out of said diner, cafe au lait in hand, wearing a long jacket and awesome boots and going up the curvy stairs to your balcony and your apartment, and thinking of how you imagined doing things vaguely like this with great sophistication when you were a little girl in the middle of nowhere.


Also, a hot shower when you're REALLY dirty. And climbing into bed after.

Freshly washed and dried sheets and blankets.
Slipping into that newly clean bed that night.
Sleeping like a baby.

warm sunshine on my face

gas card, credit card, and digital camera card, all ready to go to vermont with me this (long) weekend!

~taking a day off just for me - and telling the boss that's what i did.

~meeting my man for lunch and having him fawn over me at the restaurant and in the car all the way there and back, smooching in the booth and cooing at each other.

~listening to squirrel nut zippers, with the doors wide open, breeze blowing, candles and incense burning while sipping a smirnoff berry.

~taking a bubble bath to get ready to go out for mexican (where everyone knows us!) and to walk the first friday streets of our favorite town

ahhh. yes, happiness

Waiting in the train station while a band did instrumentals of I'll Be There and Right Here Waiting. It was very soothing.

Reading The End of Mr. Y, a fascinating book about a Ph.D student's quest to uncover the secrets of an obscure novel.

Showing a Youtube video of my crush to my sister and her laughing hysterically.

Bubble baths.

My beautiful, soft, purry, furry kitty laying on my pillow waiting for me to get home.

Playing hooky from work.

Planning a romantic weekend getaway!

Hee!

I am wearing it now.

I am also made happy by taking today off.

Watching Sex/City and Boston Legal (Yum..Spader!) in one night.

Three day weekend in the Whitsundays.
Hanging out with my best friend whom I never get to see, and making friends with her 1-year-old, while there.

Waking up on my own, sans alarm clock. Not having to be anywhere for a few hours. Yum.

Waking up in my mans arms, hearing him sing in the shower as if I couldn't hear, reading poems he used to write to me, going hot tubbing in the winter, going out to dinner with friends and reminiscing about our lives, being able to volunteer my time and give back to disadvantaged communities (my best friend runs a non-profit!), being able to sleep in past noon, watching the l word, and most importantly having some much needed alone time.

popping the question this weekend...


...and having him say yes!

whoa really, beauty? congrats!

i came to post about me & my man spending the weekend talking about getting a new place together in a few months, and a dog.

yours is one hundred million times better!

Thanks nickclick! Hey, I'm jealous of you...we still have a year and a half before we can live together again...and forget the dog until he graduates from grad school and we can get a house. )c:

Good luck with looking for a new place!!!

Congrats, Beauty! That is definitely a piece of happiness!

Mine:
Newly painted bright coral laundry room
