Thursday Thirteen | Things I Love

Welcome to another weekly addition to my blog. Thursday Thirteen is simply a hodge-podge list of things. Things I love, things I don’t. Things that excite me, things I think may be exciting for you, too. Since Tommy has been gone I have not been able to get my daily quota of conversation and I think my poor friends are getting the brunt of it while on our coffee dates. I have been a rambling MACHINE lately… it’s kind of embarrassing! Luckily they totally understand. (Ahhh that’s what friends are for!) So it is my hope that Thursday Thirteen will help lessen the load for my sweet, patient girlfriends. Hah.

So, without further ado… things I love:

1. NOT being snowed in. Can I get an amen?!
2. My JUICER. I am so in love with this thing. (Although it’s not the easiest appliance to clean, which may or may not prevent me from using it 10x a day.) Stay tuned for some of my favorite juicing recipes. I have come a long way since trying a juice fast 3  years ago and having to hold my nose while I put down each drink.
3. Being able to make my own office hours. In the past seven days I have turned three different guest bedrooms into my personal office space. Having the flexibilty to do so is SUCH a blessing.
4. Booking my flight to visit Tommy in March!!
5. Getting my hopes up about Tommy being home earlier than expected. (You didn’t hear that from me.)
6. The Right Brain Business Plan. This thing is so fun… and I think most (creative) small business owners could use a little fun during their number-crunching hours.
7. Reorganizing and redecorating my office. Now that my business branding has been decided on and will be announced soon, I’m redecorating my office to match. It’s a good thing I LOVE the style, eh?
8. Soft lighting. I finally got some nice lamps here in my office and it has made the biggest difference in this room.
9. Tivo! After being gone for over a week I came home to lots of new shows ready to be watched at my convenience. So fun!
10. Neighbors that plow your driveway for you.  Our neighbor across the street plows my driveway every time it snows and he mows our lawn in the summer. True story. I can’t decide if he loves us that much or if he can’t stand to look at our unkempt lawn. Not sure (okay, I’m sure it’s the latter). Either way, he’s the best neighbor ever!
11. One on one time with some of my favorite little people in the world. My sister has four kids and all at once, they can be a handful. It is easy to forget all the little things I love about each and every one of them. But when we get 1 on 1 time, it all comes rushing back. So refreshing!
12. Pretty folders. Silly, but true. I love my pretty file folders with all my client information in them. Makes it not seem so… administrative and boring-like.
13. Twitter! Ahh I am obsessed with Twitter lately. Are you following me? Do it! And then I will follow you!

Okay that was fun! If anything, it just made me think super positively about my life and now I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. You should try making a list of things you love as well. Or better yet, leave a comment and tell me what you love!

And because no post is complete without a photo, here’s one last thing I love: a happy pup enjoying her kong.
