10 Things I Like, Because Wallowing Isn't Very Interesting

I like this cat wrapped around my neck,
and the mustard old-man cardigan I'm wearing that makes my arms itch,
and the adjustable office chair I found languishing in an apartment hallway with a piece of paper stuck to it that said "FREE",
and the diet Pepsi that magically appeared on the top shelf of my refrigerator,
and the soft hiss of my office radiator,
and the perfectly ugly cable-knit slippers with the rubber on the bottoms that I picked up at the corner drugstore,
and the giant cowhide rug that the Palinode brought home tonight,
and the slip of paper I found in my mailbox telling me I have a package waiting for me at the post office,
and listening to This American Life while I work in the early dark,
and you, yes, you.

I like these cozy Nike sweatpants that I wear when the house is chilly

My son, who brought me Candy Cane lane tea 5 minutes ago

the trashy Tori Spelling memoir I got from the library to read

most and delicious chocolate marble pound cake

being able to finally write about the last year and a half

feeling like our new place is home

making plans for my husband's arrival tomorrow

the clean laundry piled on my bed

cold, fizzy cans of cider in the fridge

remembering to look at the positive

and you, too. :)

That the weekend is here, and I have plans
They include taking my 2 & 6 yr old niece and nephew to see Santa Claus, magic

Lovely post and nice way to take my mind off all the navel gazing and wallowing that a tough week at work can bring me.

I really like this post very much. And the fact that you make me want to think of other things I like. And I like you back.

Thanks for the reminder that there are all kinds of lovely little things to notice and revel in.

I like this list, and you. Very much.

Glad that your slip from the post office doesn't say that you owe $47 like my last one did. Cause that was on my "things that really bug me" list.

[Uncle Beefy]

I like this post and you. Yes, you. :)

I liked this too, but try as I might I couldn't match it to the Nickelback song... ;)
