Things Making Me Happy This Week 2.22
Or, should I say, these past couple of weeks?
Let's get right to it. The most awesome thing today is that my guest post is up over on Offbeat Home! This makes me sooooo happy! Yes, it's basically the same post you've read here, but it's THERE. I love Offbeat Home and its community- I've been a devoted reader since my days as an Offbeat Bride and it's an honor to be involved and especially for one of my home projects of which I'm most proud. Thanks, Ariel and team! Now let's hope people like it.
Secondly, last weekend I had my bestest girlfriends for a visit. It was WAY too short and one of them couldn't come because she got crazy sick! But it was nice to spend time together. We ate and listened to 90s radio and played with makeup courtesy of our friend Meaghan who sells Mary Kay. Did I take any pictures? No. I'm just going to chalk it up to the fact that I was living in the moment and enjoying my friends' company too much to stop and grab the camera. :)
And yes- Valentine's Day. Never a big deal for Gordon and I, but we like to get each other fun presents. This year, he wrote me a very sweet poem and got me this adorable necklace:
He's gotten me another from the same artist, Mark Poulin. I love his stuff!
I got Gordon three jars of peanut butter. Hold up- not just any peanut butter, PB Crave!
Husband LOVES peanut butter and when I saw this stuff featured on fab, I knew I had to get it for him. The three flavors are CoCo Banana, Cookie Nookie, and Razzle Dazzle. They're delicious and the Razzle Dazzle's already gone.
I also got him Darth Vader and Son. It's a comic-type book by Jeffrey Brown and awesome.
Wrapped 'em up all cute-like:
I know, barf.
Benny, of course, has been super cute this week. I've gotten lots of nighttime snuggles- he likes to get right up there in my face and purr away. Last week, as I was cleaning and getting ready for the girls' visit, he decided to sit in the cat bed no matter where it ended up.
Also in advance of their visit, I found this at TJ Maxx:
This may not be exciting to you, but this means I have something to securely store two dozen deviled eggs in!! We LOVE deviled eggs and we make them every time we get together. I've been looking for one of these suckers for a while now.
Tomorrow I'm doing Day 2 of the AMC Best Picture Showcase AMC Best Picture Showcase with some friends! Couldn't make it to Day 1 last weekend, but I'm looking forward to this! You might think I'm crazy, but this is going to be great. I will make a full report next week.
And finally, two evenings ago on my way out the door from work, I caught this view:
