A Few of My Favorite Things…

…having an impromptu date with a friend. I just happened to be driving by Staci‘s house yesterday around dinner time. I called, she answered and we ate chicken quesadillas and cheese dip at Mexican restaurant!

…sleeping late. Lydia spent the night with her grandparents and I didn’t get out of the bed until 9:30 this morning. Of course, I was awake at 7:20, but still…

…getting lost in a good book. Becky lent me A Thousand Splendid Suns and I just picked it up last night. *sigh* I’m already not wanting to put it down.

…chocolate. Some girls on my messageboard said caffeine helps with the horrible pregnancy headaches I’ve been having. I’ve been popping m&ms like…well, candy.

…getting pampered. I got a facial yesterday. Not the relaxing-cucumbers-on-your-eyes one, but more like the scrape your skin off kind. But I love it. I go to the most awesome place–everything she uses is chirally correct and all natural. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.

…selling our house. Did you know our Birmingham house is STILL on the market? It’s been 20 months. TWENTY MONTHS. We finally got a very horrible offer on it today. And someone else interested in lease-to-own. Pray we finally get rid of that thing (that thing which I love and miss every day!) at a good price.

…a good meal. The french dip sandwich from my menu plan? Delicioso! I had it as leftovers for lunch today. And wish there was more.

What are some of your favorite things?

    Pedicures – my belly’s almost big enough to justify getting one!

    Date Nights – ours last weekend was awesome!

    $1 McD’s Double Cheeseburgers – don’t do it much, but I just inhaled one!

    Getting to meet Bloggy friends in person – I can’t wait!

    Those all sound so good … but Evan just woke up from a 30 minute nap – does that even count as a nap?!?! (that’s after his night last night that I already told you about) so I can’t think of anything good right now:(

    Chocolate, impromptu girls nights, two movies in one night, ketchup chips, hot tubs, the list could go on and on. I love your list. Made me all happy just reading it.

    For some reason I just really laughed at your little m&m comment, that was funny!

    Some favorite things:
    A finished scrapbook layout
    dark chocolate
    spring flowers
    A good movie
    Dinner out with my husband (which rarely happens!)

    Have a great week!
