It's Me, Sara Louise

++ that somehow, despite inheriting my mother’s black thumb, I’ve managed to keep this orchid that The Husband bought me alive and thriving.

++ that it’s finally warm enough to keep the windows open again. Oh hello fresh air and sunshine, It’s so nice to welcome you into my home  (and just in the nick of time too… Fifty is not the best smelling pooch. It’s not his fault though… you can take the dog out of the trash but apparently, you can’t take the trash out of the dog).

++ this sandwich that I made, and then made again. I could probably eat it everyday.

++ going to what was most likely my last Raclette of the season (guess what kids, you can in fact eat too much cheese). See you next winter Raclette. I may miss you, but my thighs won’t.

++ my kindle and the book I’m reading on it (you know what I really love the most about the kindle, your arms don’t get tired holding it).

++ that my friend Aidan hit 100+ followers… who wants to make it 100++ ?

++ the box of Barry’s tea that my cousin sent me. She also sent me a Galaxy bar and some Munchies but both were consumed within five minutes of arrival. It’s true. And I may or may not have made a pig out of myself because I didn’t want to share with The Husband (I never said I was a good wife – or good at sharing for that matter. In fact, let it be known… Sara Louise doesn’t share food).

++ watching Ryan Atwood be a cop in Southland. Never has the uniform looked so adorable (although I do miss the wifebeater and the hoodie).

++ that Child Bride turned 20 this week and I no longer have a teenage sister-in-law (on my birthday she told me not to sweat getting older, because age is merely a number, you are only as old as you feel… why thank you teenage Yoda).

++ that I’m headed to Aix-en-Provence for 24 hours to hang with this lady, and this one, and we’re letting this one come along too (and that The Husband has made enough of a recovery so that I can leave Fifty to take care of him).

++ knowing that change is looming. Change is a good thing people and it must be embraced and taken for a ride.
