Appreciations Year Three: Day 175

When I stepped onto that snow-covered patch of invisible ice and slipped, I did NOT fall. Thank you, balance and lightning-quick reflexes. πŸ˜‰

The super awesome amazingly fun night out with Lisa and Alison. Delicious beer and food and OMG the fun we had at Eastlake Brewery! Always invent a game. Plus, Extra special bonus to get to see Sara and Rochelle! ❀

Being indoors when the windchill is -21ΒΊ.

Appreciations Year Three: Day 174

All the coffees of all kinds whenever possible. πŸ˜‰

Google hangouts — for making it possible to do my meetings virtually today so I didn’t have to brave the sleet and snow!

Pens and pencils. We may need them less than we used to, but I’m still a fan. πŸ™‚

Appreciations Year Three: Day 173

The hilarious randomness of the sound track my mind generates. In the middle of the night, it was the theme song from Dr. Who (makes sense – I just watched Dr. Who), but then upon waking this morning, it was Sebben Crudele which I’ve neither sung nor listened to in ages. Where did that come from?! So funny!

Cool, delicious water whenever I want it. What a wonderful, amazing gift.

The fact that putting off one task can often mean getting something else done that’s been on the list for a long time. My tidy, re-organized office looks great. And hey, I got around to those other tasks….eventually. πŸ™‚

Appreciations Year Three: Day 171

The word fraught. I don’t remember why I used it yesterday, but it made me so happy. πŸ™‚

Even a teeny tiny wee little visit with the Duncan girls makes my heart sing. (That’s that sound you’ve been hearing….) ❀

Daytime Drinking Party with Amy and Alison. So. Much. Fun. I mean fraught with fun. πŸ˜›

Reckless use of emoticons. πŸ˜‰

Appreciations Year Three: Day 170

Bright blue skies and sunny pretend spring weather.

The good kind of tired you feel after a really solid day of work. Well, the good kind of tired I feel, that is πŸ˜‰ …though we shoulda taken before and after pics of that craft and art supply closet — we got 20 years worth of supplies organized and packed into 2 bins!

The Current. What a fun and eclectic mix of music!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 167

Coffee with honey. Delicious!

Pam’s brilliant naming game which fills me up to the tippy tippy top with glee. My secret name of the day is Annalise Tiptoe Waltzington. πŸ™‚

Snoring cats. What a funny sound!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 166

Mckenzie’s expertly prepared fried potatoes — and his willingness to share. πŸ˜‰

The luxury of staying home all day (first time in a long time!) — time enough for chores AND work.

Relaxing evening re-watching Good Neighbors and the fact that even after dozens of viewings, Margot’s “Well, thank you very much!” (e.g. the Mutiny episode – at 8:16) still cracks me up.
