Little things that made me smile this week, in no particular order

"Cuz I get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread "
from "Fireflies" ~ Owl City

Finding a an outfit I love at the thrift store …turquoise capri pants with parrots on them and a red AE t-shirt that fits me perfectly, for about $10 total. And the pants have pockets.

Going to the temple and seeing all the cute white-haired ladies working hard doing the Lord’s work and hoping I'm that cute when I'm old.

Singing along to “Say Hey (I Love You)” ~ Michael Franti & Spearhead in my car.

Hearing Jim admit that someday in the future he might actually get a Facebook, even if it would be “only for networking…”

New sheets on my bed

Taking Danny to see the talking cockatoo at the park, and hearing them laugh at each other and say “I love you”.

Realizing noone in the house is sick anymore!
