checking the mail
i just love it. it's usually only bills & magazines, but for some reason i always look forward to checking the mailbox first thing when i get home from work.
sherpa mcnupples' old fashioned, purr-filled love biscuits
yeah, we love our pets a real whole super lot... sherpa makes it too easy for us to be a freakishly attentive pet owners. she'll climb up on you and knead her paws into your belly, thighs, butt... whatever she can get at. she loves making biscuits.
leg-rubs from mimo
he's not as outwardly affectionate as sherpa, but when he's feeling lovey he'll repeatedly rub up against your legs. it makes me smile and pick him up.
organizing groceries in the pantry
when we come back from a shopping trip i always want to be the one to put the groceries away. i love organizing the cans and boxes on the shelves.
eating kevin's mint chocolate chip ice cream
real mint. hear me say it again: real mint... like the leaves that grow in the ground. it's divine. it's on the menu at pop's right now. go getcha some.
hearing ray sing to himself in another part of the house
i love stumbling across someone else's private expression of happiness.
pilot fine-line pens
mmmm... feel that ink flow, baby!
putting leftovers in just-the-right-sized tupperware containers
it's sick, i know. but i get immense satisfaction from finding a container the exact right size to fit the amount of leftovers we have. 2 cups of leftover rice?? no problem... i've got a container for that. a whole cut-up pineapple? no sweat.
being surprised by what grows in my yard
i didn't live here at this time last year, so i'm getting a lot of nice treats.
