My Top 10 Favorite Things This Week

TGIF!!! As promised, here are my top 10 favorite things to close out this past week. By the way, these are in order of occurrence rather than 1 being the least favorite and 10 being the most favorite.

1. Picking out pictures of my grandkids and great nieces and framing them to take to work. The experience was mixed with varying emotions, but ultimately very gratifying.

2. Watching Alice in Wonderland again. Most brilliant Tim Burton movie yet.

3. Sitting in my pool and taking pictures of clouds floating by. Rather than say anything more, here are some of the pics.

4. Getting better at doing my job faster. My personal goal.

5. Saw 2 Smart Cars this week. Still squeal when I see them. They make me happy, laugh and smile.

6. OMG, I saw this totally HOT guy on a bicycle, aside from the helmet (not so hot). Anyway, he had his shirt off and he had the 6 pack abs going on. He was just sitting on his bike, waiting at the Kyrene Crossing light, posing ever so nicely for all of us.  I'm surprised we didn't create a pile up on the road from rubber necking. Would have been worth it.

7. Coloring in my journal (A.I.W. inspired) while listening to the rain and thunder and nothing else. So peaceful.

8. Walking to and from work in the rain. Love the feel of rain in the summer and the smell of the desert foliage.

9. Watched a double decker bus with the British flag plastered on it driving by on the way to work. Totally random.

10. I received an awesome care package today from my sister. I now have 3 new pairs of Born shoes for work. Very sexy. A new Stampin’ Up catalog to drool over. An awesome card, see picture below. And, a new Tim Holtz die that I’ve been dying to get my hands on. No pun intended.

Hope everyone had a great week. I have to say that looking for 10 things was fun, it kept my mind focused on the positives. It wasn’t hard, in fact paring the list down to 10 was the hardest part.

Cheers!!!
