Re: NBR Poll: 5 things
1. That J&T is posting again, and all of the NBCers that I follow in IG.
2. Driving alone, listening to '80s songs and singing at the top of my lungs.
3. A good Belgian white.
4. Great hair days.
5. Random, unplanned work-week lunches with my husband.
THIS! My husband and I always argue about this too. And apparently his mom and dad always argued about it too. And my parents. It must be a girl thing.
1) When my dog presses up against me when he goes to bed at night.
2) The first fall weather after a hot summer, and the first warm spring weather after a cold winter.
3) Finishing a book.
4) Baking in the fall
5) The exasperated look my husband gives me when i do or say something ridiculous.

1. Driving down my street in the fall, seeing the leaves change
2. Rainy days where I don't need to be anywhere so I can hang out in my pjs all day
3. Sleeping in my bed the day I put on the nice, clean sheets
4. Puppies
5. Hearing a genuine thank you from my co-workers when I do a good job
1. Finding a pair of pants that fits really well.
2. When the kitties curl up with me when I'm reading
3. When the house smells good
4. Cider doughnuts
5. When the mailman stops by for a chat
Kate's Recipe Box || Relatively Bookish
1. root beer floats
2. snuggling
3. line dried sheets and towels
4. when my dog wags his tail so hard he wags his entire back end
5. when a book I've been waiting for is released
2. Long drives by myself
3. The look on Tatum's face when she's SUPER excited about something.
4. The look on Tatum's face when she's terrified of something that's completely not scary, if only she had ever seen such a thing before.
5. Line dried sheets, especially after a long day of chores and yard work and a nice, relaxing shower.
Sugar & Spice
2. A really long refreshing nap

Izzy and Baby A ~ Adorable Punks
2. Autumn. I love love love the fall.
3. Grownups in costume on Halloween. I like seeing others let their freak flags fly.
4. Hearing U2 on the radio. I have all their music on my iPod or on CD, but I love to hear a random song of theirs on the radio. Especially One.
5. Phone calls from friends. We're all introverts and no one ever calls, so when the caller ID lights up with a friend I haven't talked to in ages, I do a happy dance.
Bonus: Today at school my 6 year old niece answered the question "Who are you most proud of?" and she answered "my aunt," meaning me. My heart is so full from that!
2. Audrey backing her little butt into my lap so I can read her a book.
3. Clean sheets.
4. Boots
5. The smell of fall
