A Few of My Favorite Things

I'm not always cranky like yesterday. Here are a few things that make me happy:
- a great parking space at the mall, especially when someone's just pulling out as you turn into the aisle
- a heavy thunderstorm that starts just *after* you walk in the door
- coming home from a business trip
- dailykitten.com (which features a photo that perfectly dramatizes how I feel when I get home after a long business trip, see below. What a cute little moppet.)
- waking up before the alarm clock
- juicy nectarines (a good thing too, since my doctor advised me today that they're thinking of revising guidelines to suggest we each have 8-9 servings of fruit or veggies each day... wow, how many meals is that?)
- an outfit that doesn't requiring ironing
