Life has been pretty wonderful lately. Every time Fall comes around, I just get giddy with excitement because Fall is my fav. And also, Christmas is right after Fall. Win-win. Best time of the year!
In addition to the cooler weather, here's a few things that are making me smile:
Aggie. Seriously, she is simultaneously the most obnoxious and cutest furry creature ever. My parents, family, and friends all hate her because she is so unfriendly to them. However, she loves Josh and I. She's a 2-person cat I guess. Lately she's taken to napping in the strangest places (laundry hamper, sink, bathtub), and in the strangest positions. Josh snapped this picture below when she fell asleep in my lap like this. Crazy, huh? Note- I told Josh to crop my head out of the picture because I looked horrific, and he did. Isn't he sweet?
Books. I am all about reading, but for some reason, my appetite for reading dwindles during the Summer months. Once Fall hits though, I love to run to the library, grab a bunch of great books, and sit and read on the couch for hours on end. With a cup of tea. It is absolute perfection. I stumbled upon this book at the library and I am totally in love. It combines some of my favorite topics: mystery, house restoration, and murder. Seriously, can it get better than that? I think not. You should check it out if you are in the market for a good read.
Finally, I "splurged" at Pier One the other day and bought this fantastic cocktail ring. I have been wanting one for a while, but just waiting to find the perfect one. This is it! I love the sparkly center and the yellow leaves, and it makes me happy every time I glance at it on my hand. Even when it snags on my hair and clothing.
So those are a few things that are making me smile this week. How about you? Are you a Fall-lover too? What are some things that are making you smile lately?
P.S. Sorry about the strange spacing, I have no idea what blogger is up to, but it keeps messing up the spacing I put between paragraphs. So annoying!
I'm going to have to check out that book. I've always been an avid reader but lately I haven't picked one up. Cats are so weird. My daughter's cat Alice, only likes her. She is a really mean old lady cat and hates everyone else. I'm loving tht it will be coolong off here in the next few weeks. Still in the 100's here but I see a light at the end of the tunnel!
ReplyDeletemy spacing has been messed up in blogger, too. i keep previewing before i post and then amend it. so odd.
ReplyDeletehow fricking cute is your cat! i can't believe she fell asleep like that! i wish my cat was more of a lap cat...it's only with this chillier weather that she gives me the time of day!
