tickets please.

Today, as I was on my way to the library with my two girls, I got pulled over by a cop. A bike cop. I was speeding and I got a ticket (do not love it, but what are you gonna do? (not speed, right?)).

Here IS what I love, it did not ruin my day.

I loved being able to control my thoughts and realize that stressing about a ticket was not going to make anything good happen.

Lesson learned: happiness comes from within and I can be happy no matter what, as long as I wanna be.

New Rose

I love surprises like this:

My plant has been rose-less for nearly two years, but not anymore...

this machine.

Could spend hours using it, feeling more confident every time I do.

Love to see the result of paying attention to the rules.

Reading patterns over and over until I understand.

Getting good enough to improvise.

This machine is older than me, it was used to create things I wore as a child and now I am using it to create for my own daughters. Love it.

Anthropologie

Could buy and buy and buy from Anthropologie. I've yet to purchase clothes but here are two little buys that I adore:

Both "biscuit" brand, microwaveable, dishwasher-able, adorable :)

I could spend days and days and days and days looking at all of the THINGS I want from this store.

Every time I go in I leave with someTHING wonderful.

Is it horrible to love THINGS???

If yes, call me horrible :)
