Things making me smile this week...

1. My new devotional book. I've only done about 5 of the 90 days, but I can already tell this is going to be a great book for me.

2. Big hugs from Janie. While I was carrying her through Target the other day, she moved my hair out of her way, laid her head on my shoulder, sighed and said "I love you." (Honestly, I don't think life can get much better than that.)

3. Rob's new work schedule. There's been some changes at Rob's job. The highlight for me - Rob gets to be home on Sunday nights again - yeah!

4. I recently discovered this little bit of candy perfection - the new mint & dark chocolate version of 3 Musketeers. In the words of the Wiggles - "Yummy, yummy."

5. An empty laundry basket. Seriously. Seeing the empty basket, knowing that everything is washed and dried and put away - it just makes me happy.

6. A successful attempt at a new recipe. Well, hopefully. I'm trying something new tonight - I'll have to let you know if it's a hit or a miss. Fingers crossed!

7. New & returning fall TV shows. Finally! I'm so excited to be reunited with all my old friends... Friday Night Lights, Ugly Betty, Grey's, Survivor. Plus, my new summer favorite, Mad Men, is still going strong.
