The Bright Side of Life

I'm not really the best at being an upbeat, always look at the bright side of life, kind of girl. And while I do like to think of my sardonic complaints as my way of whistling in the dark, every now and again it does one good to remember the little joys in life. And so, may I present a small sampling of everyday things that make me smile.

Red Toes

Zach's Beard
I suppose I'm also fond of the rest of him. But he grew it for me (or at least because he was tired of me looking at him weird when he shaved the beard 1.0 off) so the beard is extra special to me. It's also fuzzy and fun to play with.


Mia the Orchid - she's just so pretty and alive! Also, one of the better pictures I took.


Little IKEA catch all dishes - All the little thingies on my desk have a home now. No longer do I have to search all over for all the little things that have a special gift for being in the most obscure places. Bless your heart little sanity savers.

Fresh, Organic Delicious Blueberries

Always having a good supply of good chocolate on hand (IKEA chocolate is surprisingly high quality)

This whole marriage thing - Six months to the dot, and still very much worth it. Best decision ever (plus I'll take any excuse to post more gorgeous wedding pictures)

Speaking of which, the various wedding pictures throughout our apartement tend to make me smile.

Hot sauce
I use this on almost everything. In the almost six months Zach and I've been married I've gone through 4 of these.

TV on the internet and DVD - I probably spend more time on this then I should, but its nice to get caught up in a story every now and again. Plus its a nice way for Zach and I to unwind together.

The Pitcher - I just think its pretty, plus its nice to always have cold water at hand
That's all for now - I'm surprised how fun it was to wander around the apartment with my camera finding various little things that make me happy. It's a nice thing to focus on for a little while.
