Meme Blog Award!

Melita from Gussying Up the Tuttle passed the Meme Blog Award on to me the other day, so here we go!

the rules are as follows:
1. share seven tidbits about myself.
2. share the award with seven blog friends.

Seven Tidbits:

1. I love all things black and white. Zebras and zebra print, black and white cookies, President Obama, cows, damask, James Blake, black and white photos, and, most especially, Boston Terriers. I WANT ONE!

2. I would love to become a gourmet vegetarian chef. Not to work in a restaurant, though. Just so I can have fancy pants dinner parties.

3. Both of my grandmothers were excellent at crocheting. One of the items on my "Life List" is to make a beautiful blanket with even edges. Still working on it! I own several how-to books and tons of yarn and still can't figure it out. I think it's time to enlist the help of a real live teacher.

4. My favorite yoga pose changes just about every week, but pigeon is always an all-the-time favorite.

5. I own several thousand books. When you read about 80 a year, they tend to accumulate. I'm on book 44 so far this year.

6. One of my favorite things about my body is my eyelashes.....and I was so premature that I didn't even have any when I was born.

7. I hate horror movies but will watch them on occasion since Jesse likes them. The things we do for love!

And I pass this on to anyone that would like to do it!

6 Things That Make Me Happy

CityGirl over at My City Girl Life tagged me for this one. I need to list 6 things that are making me happy right now. Without further ado:

1. The fact that Sweet Green has a mobile yogurt truck complete with fresh fruit and other toppings that parks less than half a block from my office on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I had one with strawberries, mangoes and mini-chocolate chips today.

2. Getting a manicure after work!

3. I leave tomorrow afternoon to spend the weekend in Pennsylvania with Jesse. I am excited to see his new place and meet his friends at school.

4. When I return on Sunday, I am going to dinner with a friend, followed by seeing "Spring Awakening" at the Kennedy Center.

5. Tonight I will begin writing lots of journal entries based on the creative fodder I have received from SARK's Juicy Journaling e-course.

6. The prospect of maybe finally getting a good night's sleep tonight. I have been sleeping a lot less than usual and it is showing. I can't wait to crawl into my bed!


I have no idea of who to tag, so if you see this and want to post your list or add it to the comments, please do! I bet it makes you smile.
