some good things in my life...

Well there have been some yucky things happening in my life as of late. I would like to be a "Pollyanna" and focus on some things that are making my life a little nicer.

1. The Hourglass Door. I was at Barnes and Noble (one of Kyle and mine's FAVORITE hangouts) when the author comes in to sign books and to promote the last book of the series. I'm a little shy because truly deeply in my heart I would love to be an author and have my book in a library that there is a queue for checkout. anyway... She is very nice and tells me a little about her book and hands me the 1st book in the series and I ask if it's okay if I take to read a bit. She says yes, So I find a chair and I start. Next thing I know it's 1 1/2 hrs later the book signing is over and I really like the book. I was very sad that I didn't get to tell Lisa how much I enjoyed her work. So I did the next best thing. I went to the library web site and requested it. I'm number 17 in the queue.

Today after work Kyle and I went to Barnes and Noble and while he is browsing I head straight for the book and pick up where I left off. As I'm reading my dear, sweet, wonderful and thoughtful husband buys an autographed copy of the book for me so now I don't have to wait for my turn.

2. The cookie scoop. I was making cookies the other night for pot-luck at work and man... the cookie scoop saved so much time and mess. I made chocolate cake batter cookies with toffee crumbs on top. Very tasty...
3. My job...

4. You.
