Simple Pleasures

Simple Pleasures, copied from Regan's blog:

* $0.99 Diet Dr. Peppers from Sonic on my hour drive to work

* My iphone

* Writing in my planner

* DIY/Home Decor blogs (specifically The Lettered Cottage and YHL)

* Sunday afternoons

* Throw pillows and table lamps

* Burlap (most under-valued/under-used fabric in design)

* Late-afternoon walks with Griffin

* Nike shorts, a t-shirt/sweatshirt, and tennis shoes

* Hot Chocolate in the winter

* TJ Max and Home Goods

* Casual Fridays at school (jeans!)

* My 30 minute phone call with my mom on my way to work every morning

* Sushi from Charleston's, chicken salad from Fuzzy's, and the chicken ciabatta sandwich from Charleston's

* Television on weeknights: Big Love, 24, True Blood, Hung, Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, Brothers and Sisters, Law & Order SVU, The Bachelor, The Biggest Loser, Project Runway and, on occasion, The Kardashians and Bill and Guilliana. I feel ridiculous even writing all of those because I have never thought of myself as a big tv watcher. I guess I am.

* Laying in bed with Griffin, talking, right before we go to sleep.

And this, copied from Lissa's blog...

Things that I am looking forward to during the next month:

* MAVS game this Friday with Steven's family

* The Superbowl!

* Micah's 7th Birthday

* Valentine's Day Dinner at Bonnels

* GMS' Got Talent Show

* Whitney's visit to Fort Worth (college roommate)

* Graham and Amy's Wedding Weekend

* Mallory's 18th Birthday

* The beginning of Amanda's wedding showers

* Black Eyed Peas Concert (thanks to Griffin winning them on 106.1)

* General Granbury's Birthday

* And like Lissa, SPRING BREAK!!

---------------------------------------------

And in other news, we got another offer on our house today. After the last one fell through, we decided to forget about it because it was just too stressful. Who knows if it will all work out but keep your fingers crossed for us!!!

Love,
Maggie

YHL and burlap are two very simple pleasures!

And I cannot WAIT for spring break! 5 1/2 more weeks!

I'm so glad you did a 'simple pleasures' post! I totally need to add casual Fridays to my list!

Simple pleasures is fun! I'm going to copy that! Keeping my fingers crossed for you on this offer! And I think it is so sweet you talk to your mom for 30 min every morning! I hope my girls are like that someday.
