(1) Surfing craig's list (for furniture only, just to clarify!). Even when I don't need anything, it's like crack cocaine. It's the Don Bergeron (my thrifty father) in me. Can't stop, won't stop.
(3) All of the flowers! While I love seeing hydrangeas popping up all over the city and literally enjoy nothing more than choosing from the fresh picked bunches at mom 'n pop bodegas, knowing that I get to enjoy my mom's perennially beautiful garden this weekend makes my smile a mile long (my favorites are her glorious morning glories, which she just told me are always planted for me!).
(4) Rearranging my apartment. This is no big surprise for anyone that knows me, but since my roommate has moved out (sigh) and my boyfriend has moved in for the time being, the enormous amount of additional space is like christmas. Again, can't stop, won't stop (Bri, thanks for being so patient with me). Right now, I'm focusing on my cute little corner desk. I even have enough space to set up a PRINTER! i am really looking forward to feeling inspired here and being able to keep my laptop in one place. Man, I forgot how much I missed having a desk (lets pretend I am not sitting at one right now at work. TOTALLY different, right?).
(5) Speaking of work: I finally have a beautiful (not to mention completely functional) computer. And not just any computer - the most amazing mac desktop (wireless keyboard and all!). clearly I have applied a lot of emotional attachment to this piece of technology. I never do this so that goes to show what a big deal this is for me (it also makes me feel more validated within my company. that means a lot).
(6) All things Groupon, Living Social and PopSuper. Within the past week I've purchased 5 kickboxing classes for 20 dollas and spent $15 for $30 worth of food & drink at the very cool Brooklyneer. Booyah! And sometimes it takes a good self-gifted certificate to get yourself somewhere you wouldn't normally go and do so something you wouldn't normally do.
(7) Making my parents happy. My grandfather and sister and I rallied together and were able to help send my parents to san francisco for their 25th wedding anniversary (one of my mom's dream destinations!). I wish I had all the money in the world to do this more often.
(8) Having things to look forward to! A weekend getaway in the works, a concert in central park planned or having a flight booked adds that skip in my step and can often make all the difference in your attitude.
(9) sun, summer, air, salt, sand and quiet.
....I'll stop on 9 because it's my lucky number. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
