I....

* love the way a hot, just-poured cup of coffee feels in my hands.

*just finished reading Ape House by Sara Gruen. Loved that book and now I just started reading
Water for Elephants by her as well. i cannot wait for that movie to come out but I really
hope there are no clowns in it. I just don't do clowns.

* can't wait for lilac season. our lilac bush out front has teeny-tiny buds on it. we transferred it last Spring from my in-laws yard so i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it does well this year. i love, love, love lilacs...one of the best smells. ever.

*need a date night. and i want it planned for me {hi honey}. i don't even care what/where is is. i hate when we finally have a night out and then get in the car and say"...where do you wanna go?...i don't know, where do you wanna go?" i want a real, good old-fashioned date. and soon.

* love jewelry. i love to buy jewelry and to get jewelry as a gift, of course. i love it cheap, vintage, home made, department store, rummage sale, handmade... you name it. i'll take it all.

* go through reading phases. i won't read for a while and than i will read four or five books in a row and not be able to put them down.

* think oatmeal is a perfectly acceptable dinner.

* feel so much better after all the beds are made and upstairs rooms are picked up in the morning.

* have not forgotten that this is my one little word this year. well, not entirely anyway. BUT, i'm also not feeling real good about where i am with it since it is now march and well into the new year now. ooops.

* have had some kind of little stomach bug this week and have not been feeling too great. i am behind on laundry and cleaning and...yeah...pretty much everything else in my life. and where's my cleaning lady, anyway?

* think tonight calls for ordering in pizza. this mama just doesn't have the energy for much else.

* never, ever really watch oprah these days but have seen some of it the last two days and have found myself crying over her trip to australia. good lord, do i need a vacation that bad? what's wrong with me!?
