Temperatures above 15º. Woohoo!!
Clean and reorganized laundry room (at MY house this time)! And it only took 6 hours to accomplish it… 😛
Reward for a hard day’s work — dinner and drinks with Cara and Debb. What a super fun night!! ❤

Appreciations Year Three: Day 183
7 hours of undisturbed sleep. Practically unheard of… and SO refreshing!
Blankets, sweaters, slippers, working furnace, hot tea, purring cats, staying in.
A forecast that includes 29º ABOVE zero. Even it if doesn’t happen, it sure is nice to dream about. 😉
Appreciations Year Three: Day 182
Visible progress on the Eagan house. Laundry room completely cleared out and cleaned, most of the downstairs rooms cleared and ready to go. Working our way up!!
This excellent opportunity to help and support my parents after all the help and support they’ve given me. ❤
Unexpected treasures uncovered during the moving process – like the box of my gramma and grampa’s letters and drawings that I get to look through when I have time.
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. 😉
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 -21º.
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. 🙂
Appreciations Year Three: Day 172
Hours-long conversations that keep me up way past my bedtime.
Quiet Sunday that gives me time to recover from staying up so late. 😉
Dr. Who.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 171
The word fraught. I don’t remember why I used it yesterday, but it made me so happy. 🙂
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. 😛
Reckless use of emoticons. 😉
Appreciations Year Three: Day 169
My lovely little collection of mugs from trips I’ve taken, trips other people have taken, gifts from friends. Each one reminds me of something wonderful — AND holds coffee. See what I mean?!?
Carole King. Especially the songs from Really Rosie!
Maurice Sendak. Especially all the books.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 168
The little gusts of wind blowing sparkly clouds of snow from the trees this morning.
The sunlight (sunlight!) that made the sparkly sparkles possible and makes the continued coldness tolerable. Well, almost. 😉
Ukeleles.
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. 🙂
Snoring cats. What a funny sound!
