Raindrops on Roses and wiskers on Kittens

I Think this is officially the first tag I have ever followed through with. Chalk it up to Larissa's personal invitation, sent to me via-email (knowing that I'm less than sufficient when it comes to blog-updating/perusing).
So, here goes.
Behold Six things that make me happy ( in no particular order)......
#1. Christmas!-I know, I know the holidays make everyone happy, with the exception of some hard hearted old Hollywood men, but even they eventually come around. All is takes is a few angles, a little girl with a miracle up her sleeve, or a flyby from Santa, but in the end, they all come on board, and as much as I like to think my self outside the box, I'm going to have to go with the masses on this one.
I love the decorations, the smells, the shopping, the letters to Santa, the excitement and reverence that you feel on Christmas eve, and of course the food.

#2. Love at home......Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing my boys play and enjoy each other. These moments are few and far between, but hey, even Wally and the Beav had their run ins.

#3. White dresses with blue satin sashes.........or rather the mission to find one on clearance. Yes, I love a bargain, and I love to hunt down a deal. Now that doesn't mean I'm good at haggling with used car salesmen, but give me 6 hours, no kids, a good pair of shoes, and a metropolis, and you've given me happiness. ----Does that sound horribly worldly? I'll try to clean in up for the next one.

#4. I love it when Ben kisses my forehead out of the blue. ( It's pretty much why I married him.)

#5. Speaking of brown paper packages tied up with string. I get a major rush of happiness when I get a new book in the mail.

#6. Getting my eyebrows waxed. (sorry more worldly stuff)

Kitchen

So, I've been telling Lesli that I would post some photos of the house for the last two months ........and I'm just now getting around to it. Better late than never!
They'll probably put that preceding sentence on the front door of my sarcophagus.
