Winter Lovelies

In this dreary, cold month it can be easy for me to get depressed.    Here are 5 things that make me happy these days:

Grapefruit.  I love winter purely for these babies.  I bought an 18 pound bag at the store yesterday.  CAN’T. GET. ENOUGH.

My new modern bird feeder.  So far we haven’t seen a single bird yet, but the squirrels dig it.  Damn squirrels.

Iphone covers that look like cassette tapes.  Hilarious.

Takes me right back to the days of sitting in my room listening intently to the radio waiting for THAT song to come on so I could push record on my tape player and listen to it OVER and OVER and OVER.

Josh thought I should write a playlist on them.  Hmmmm…..BoyzIIMen (be still my heart), Janet, Babyface, TLC, Mariah Carey (Notice a pattern?  I dreamt of being a back-up dancer for Janet Jackson.  Aspirations I tell ya.)  You’ll be happy to know my taste in music has definitely changed.

A Prayer for Owen Meany.  One of my favorites.  I’ve read it several times and each time it’s just as entertaining.  Pick it up.  Sorry, you can’t borrow mine.  You’ll definitely want to own this one. (If you’re not much of a reader, rent Simon Birch.  It’s the movie version of this book.  Although the movie’s great too, the book is ALWAYS better).

This combination of loveliness.  The hat, the cheeks, the smoochable lips, and the fact that she’s sleeping without being held (that’s a rare thing around here).  Car seats are magical.

Oh yeah.  And Instagram.
