these are a few of my favorite things...today

BACON. everything about it. the taste, the smell. the fact that my hair smells of it after im done broiling some.

the book "julia and julia" by julie powell. not only is this movie lifechanging, the book is as well. i'll never be the same.

It didnt rain today...i dont think. its hard to remember really when it rains almost every day here.

sleeping in is delicious. got to do that today for a while.

blueberry waffles and bacon for dinner. priceless.

i finally did the dishes today. after my two day walk out.

one day closer to seeing that little alien on the ultrasound monitor (my bff's coming child)

got a dr pepper from mcdonalds this evening and used only dimes to pay for it. i love dollar soda everydays. yay for mcdonalds. i'll support that.

mom can walk using a walker now. improvement is awesome.

bests of today

met with my friends for tea and then dinner. we then walked by a pond and chatted for a while. it was a really nice time.

texted with a friend who rarely texts me. it was normal chat, but it was nice to chat anyway.

the dishes still sit in the sink waiting for me...tomorrow.

five days until the ultrasound to find out the sex of my best friend's baby.

a friend sent me a really cute picture of her daughter with an umbrella in a wagon. adorable.

had red robin onion rings. yummo.

i slept really well last night.

mom can start weight bearing on her right leg. doctors appointment today went well. she told me tonight that she walked out of the bathroom. ACCOMPLISHMENT.

my friends and family love me more than i think. and i am constantly being reminded of this.

i have parents that are still together and just celebrated their 39th (i think) wedding anniversary on the same day as my grandparents. not sure on the years of that one though. over 100 years total though. definately more than 60 for the grandparents. and there's still love all around.

this week's little things:

mom got flowers from an old friend. really pretty flowers.

a friend bought me dinner at red robin last night. so sweet!

a lady from church brought us comfort food dinner (meatloaf, mashed potatos, green beans and rolls with watermelon). yum.

a friend drove along with me while i was driving my sister two hours out so i had a good chat time on the way back rather than be alone.

i finally found and bought a hard plastic take along cold liquid cup like those throw away/recycle latte cups from starbucks. with a straw. heaven.

i finished re-reading Eclipse in prep for the midnight showing.
