Alrighty lovely people. It’s that time again. Sit down. Breathe for a second, and write down all the things that you loved on this week. I don’t know about you, but I smiled like a crazy person all week. Here’s why:

Me with my friends Dayle and Leah while the bartender forces us into inebriation.

THINGS THAT MADE ME SMILE THIS WEEK:

• Surprise lunch at Red Elephant with Andrea!
• Andrea passing on her very first hula hoop to me prior to her move to San Fransisco. I was so touched!
• Knowing how to hula hoop. Bam!
• Dan coming back to town after being gone for a few days for work.
• Making Dan an AMAZING dinner all by myself! (Spinach and tomato tortellini. NOMS.)
• Planning to make that same dinner tonight for us and Felicite!
• Wine as a sleep aid.
• Getting dolled up and pretty with Dayle and Leah and hitting the town.
• Arvin! (Before we got our bills, anyway.)
• Talking about babies, even when we distinctly decided to not talk about babies! (They’re just too darn cute, am I right?)
• Sharing proposal stories.
• Listening to pregnant stories.
• Baked Doritos.
• The Hunger Games trilogy. (CAN’T PUT IT DOWN!)
• The Breakfast Club at Cracker Barrel.
• MARGARITA-FLAVORED WATER.
• Getting together with four of my favorite fellow book worms/newsies for our Book Club!
• Loaf of Soup.
• Used book stores.
• Being a part of Emily’s 13th birthday present. What a blessing.
• Live music, especially when the musicians are my friends. Like these guys.
• Dan Cole doing “the dad thing” and showing me pictures of his adorable kids on his iPhone.
• Harmonicas.
• Did I mention margarita-flavored water already? Or am I getting a buzz from this junk?
• Team Buddhalicious.
• Elevate and Dr. Cloud.
• Free sushi!
• We now own SONIC COLORS and it only cost us $2! Ahhhh! It’s so fun!
• Accidental (borderline narcoleptic) naps.
• Rita’s Custard. ZOMG NOMS.

I think that about does it. What do you love this week? Jot it down. It’ll make you feel good inside.
