The Friday Five - Smiles

Five things from this past week that made me smile
  1. The fact that my kids completely demolished the pasta dish I made on Wednesday night – pasta with roasted red pepper sauce, artichoke hearts and grilled chicken. In the past, such a combination would have elicited complaints and general “food drama”.
  2. Discernibly longer days, ie glimpses of the sunrise at 6:30am and daylight past 5pm! Here's proof - a photo taken at 6:30, on the cusp of daybreak:

Winter Morning
  1. Serendipitous radio play of two songs from The Soundtrack of my LifeFather Figure by George Michael and Sweet Sensation by INXS. Felt like I was in college again
  2. Hubby, who just started going to yoga class with me, mentioning he wants to go early so we can “get a good spot”. Hey, maybe I’ve converted him to this yoga thing.
  3. My daughter’s tweet about me: “Mom yelling downstairs: ‘Louie what outfit should I wear?’ (louie is our cat)”.
Tweet!
Yeah, Creeping on my Daughter

I want to clarify that this tweet isn’t 100% true. The exact quote was ‘Louie, what YOGA outfit should I wear?’

Seriously, don’t we all ask our pets what we should wear? After all, they don’t judge, give unconditional approval…

... and make the best post-run napping partners.

Hope you have a great Super Bowl Weekend!

  3. Ha ha! That tweet made me laugh. You know, I didn't even notice the days getting a bit longer. That's definitely something to celebrate!

  4. I figure since my cat(s) has in some way or another left his/her mark (a/k/a fur) on most if not all of my outfits, why not ask them. Probably get the same response any other member of the family would give me - "I don't know ...". Beautiful sunrise and it is our job to "creep" on our kids.

    Enjoy the weekend.
