Favorite Things

1. A completely unasked-for hug from my girl.
2. Knowing that I will get two cards from my Husband, one incredibly sappy and one funny (and sometimes farty) for every card-giving occasion.
3. When The Boy tells me what he's been thinking/doing lately.
4. A dog's look of unbridled joy when out in the snow.
5. A really really good book, a blanket, a cup of tea and a couch.
6. A favorite memory of a mother wearing a dress and baking homemade cookies after school for a week because a little girl asked her to, even though her tastes ran to bell-bottom jeans, earth shoes, and boxed meals.
7. Daisies
8. That my telephone ESP has altered itself from knowing when my mother was calling to knowing when it's Judy or Lynn.
9. That my husband feels absolutely no threat about my post-post-post adolescent {crushes} on {movie stars}. 
10.  Going back to bed.
