Simple pleasures--isn't there a saying about simple minds, simple pleasures? Doesn't matter, these are the silly, simple things that are keeping a smile on my face this lovely autumn Friday:
I wore my new cowboy boots to work today. I've never owned a pair of cowboy boots, but these boots are amazing, which makes me feel amazing, which makes me smile even more than usual. Yee-haw, y'all.
Finally turned my Emily the Strange calendar over to October, and the October
page is so stinkin' cute. Nothing much out there cuter than a zombie kitty, no? Big smile on my face each and every time I look up (note: I recently learned that Emily the Strange t-shirts will now be available for little girls at Target, so now that Emily is finally selling out after more than a decade of being the cool underground gal she was, I will probably part ways with Emily).
My GP told me I could start running again. My chiropractor said, "No" (that is the shortened version...longer version can be found here) but my GP said, "Hogwash, there is no reason you can't run." So, I ran on Wednesday night for the first time in over a month, and I still have the smile on my face.
Poseidon and I will be in Charlotte on Sunday, attending the Carolina Panthers vs. Seattle Seahawks football game. Excited, and yup, I'm smilin'.
The snake plant on one of my shelves is finally coming back to life. I was told it's next to impossible to kill a snake plant, but I very nearly did (I'm smiling at that, too), and because it seems happier today, I'm happy.
