10 Things....

So I've decided to embrace it this year, my birthday is in two days and I'm kind of excited. Historically, I've always been weird about January 27th and it's never done me any good. So there it is, in 48 hours (almost exactly) I will be 26!

But that's not what this post is about, this post is about a very sweet blog award from Annie of Time Enough For Drums!

I'm supposed to list tens things that make me happy, so here they are:

1. Nutella, straight out of the jar.

2. When the actors on Saturday Night Live start laughing mid-skit.

3. My coffee maker. Filled with hazelnut coffee.

4.When one of my cats sleeps on my lap.

5. Coming home to a mailbox filled with mail that is not bills.

6. Looking at old photos of me and my boy from years ago.

7. Grilled cheese sandwiches.

8. Maine Public Radio streamed through ITunes.

9. Days where it snows all day and night.

10. Browsing flea markets in the summer with my boy.

Now it's your turn: I want to hear what makes my beautiful readers happy!

(over the weekend will be coming later tonight!)

From the Halloween Vault...

Since Halloween is only a few days away, I thought I would share some of my costumes from recent years! Last Halloween, Chris and I were scrambling for costumes, really not sure what to be. We had always talked about going as Wayne and Garth from "Wayne's World", and decided that 2008 was going to be "the year". Unfortunately, we decided this on halloween night. So with just an hour to go until the party, we threw these costumes together. I wish we had better pictures! Below the belt we are both wearing ripped Levi's and I (Wayne) am wearing a flannel around my waist. Chris (Garth) accessorized with drumsticks. We had a very good time and stayed in character all night. Sha-wing.

I've been shuffling through old files trying to find costumes from further back, so I'll post more later on in the week. What are you planning on being for halloween? I'm sorry I don't have an outfit post today, I got home from work after dark, the days are getting so short! I'm going to have to take my pictures earlier and earlier! Don't forget that this weekend is daylight savings time! On another subject, I've been nominated for a blog award! The lovely Jane St. Clair of Little Violet Dress has picked me to tell you a few things about myself:

1. I went to an all-girls summer camp for nine years. Up until I was 15. I had the best summers ever.

2. I go to the gym almost every day. It's the one time of day that I don't have to think about anything for at least 45 minutes.

3. I really like going over tall bridges but I hate heights. I love driving to places I've never been to before.

4. I like to take music out of the library that I've never heard of. I judge the CD's by their covers, sometimes they are good, sometimes not. But this means that I have a pretty well rounded taste in music.

5. I hate cotton-balls. I refuse to touch them.

6. I really like waking up late on a rainy day and having it stay rainy for the whole day. I hate it when it gets sunny half-way through.

7. I love reading cookbooks.

Ok, now the rules of this award state that I am to nominate seven other bloggers. But, I like to break rules, so instead I would like you all to leave me a comment with something interesting or special about yourselves! Ready? Go!
