It's the little things

What's making me happy right now? The little things. Here's a petite list of diminutive things that are getting me through every day. For some reason things are busy and stressful, so appreciating the minutia is a good exercise. Did all my "small" words make me sound smart? Because that was totally my point.

* A good period drama on the DVR to watch after a boring school board meeting.
* Sugar snap peas from Costco to munch on while avoiding too many sweets.
* The Macy's clearance rack, where I scored two cute shirts for about $6 each. Wanna see?
* Snuggling Kate right after she wakes up.
* A sunny, warmish week in the middle of January.
* Pants that are getting too big for me, even though I'm losing weight at a snail's pace.
* A queue of 5 books to read, all of which seem promising.
* Optional lunch bunch after preschool, where Kara can stay for a mere $4/hour.
* BYU basketball watching with Kyle.
* Dark chocolate in its many forms.

I could add more, but then my list wouldn't be so petite anymore. What little things are making your life better?

I want to know what's in your book queue, as I'm struggling to finish the one book I am currently reading. Thanks for your happy list! Connor's laugh is right up there among my favorite things that makes me happy right now. That, and Clint's new job. Hooray!!!
