Happy Friday — by Guest Mom Girl con Queso



Fridays at my place mean appreciating the beauties, blessings and better things we've seen cross our paths lately. Here are a few happys that I think are quite fantastic.


Treats
I've always said that eating sushi is like eating chocolate. Now it really is. Yeah, that's right. This sushi IS chocolate. And you can find it here. Because candy that looks like sushi equals love.





Tea
Last Valentines Day, the HcQ gave me this lovely teapot set from Teavana. It so sturdy, and it makes amazing tea. We like to use it as often as we can.




Wooden Toys
Especially wooden blocks. They're old school. The Hurricane loves them. And he hasn't yet figured out that he can throw them through a window. So I still love them too.



Shoes
Seriously. Doesn't everyone love shoes? After all, they keep our feet warm. I actually like buying them for the Hurricane even more than for myself. And that's a lot.




MDA
The Muscular Dystrophy Association. This is a happy combined with a sad. But even more than a happy, it's a labor of love. If you need another reason to love them, read this.

Music
I love an incredibly wide range of genres, artists, and styles. Specifically tonight, Leigh Nash.



Forgiveness
Yesterday I promised that I'd post our last year's Christmas card photo. However. We. Can't. Find. It. That's right. Urgh. I need to take a cue from Bek and keep each year's card in a photo album. I'm sure we'll find it in the next day or so, but alas, I can not post it today. Please forgive me.

Good Ideas
Yes, Google itself was a good idea. A gagillion dollar idea for Larry Page and Sergey Brin. But a friend of mine gave me a good idea too. Get the Hurricane a Gmail account. So we did. Now it's so easy for me to send him a quick email to let him know what's going on with us and to tell him how much we love him. It's great for long distance family and friends to give him a quick shout out as well. We'll introduce him to this special email of his in a few years.



Blogs
I'd think they're just great. After all, without them, I wouldn't have met you. So I'd really like to thank Design Mom for having me over this week. I've really enjoyed my visit. It was nice spending time with you guys, and I wish you and yours a wonderful Holiday season.


So. That's me. What are some happys in your life this week?

It snowed last night. That's something to be happy about (I think). And it didn't require shovelling because it melted off the sidewalks and driveways.

I love the e mail idea. We have a website for my two youngest kids who are adopted. WE maintain it for their first families. My oldest (who is at this point very annoyed that SHE doesn't have a "first mother") doesn't get the same benefit of having a play by play of her life every week complete w/ pictures (sadly, I am not motivated enough to do it for myself). I love the email idea. She can even read them now.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

BTW....Target has awesome wooden toys in the dollar section right now. I love wooden toys.....we just got tons of stocking stuffers this week.

LOVE the shoes

What're you doing over here? What's going on? What have I been missing in my employment haze? You're JLoProGloFlowing here and your site?

Miss you, girl. But glad I'm getting double the wit of your treasures and finds.

Bek, I got the tic-tac-toe at Target, it's darling. I just love to get a little extra sleep, that's happy, and I love November because it's just a little chilly. Yesterday, I got a pink flower. All happy.

I am happy I am home from a week of travel. I am happy that I get to sleep in my own bed. I am happy that we have millions of awesome veterans in this country that are so dedicated and amazing. I am happy that I live in the best country in the whole world with a whole mess of freedom. I am happy that I am loved, have cute shoes, healthy teeth and gums, and that I live by myself and can leave dirty luandry on the kitchen counter if I want to. I don't want to...but I could! And no one could stop me!

I am happy that I think I am one of the luckiest people on the whole planet...maybe the luckiest! Wow! What a responsibility.
