Things I am Loving Right Now

1) Jancee Dunn's books: I found a sympatico voice in her writing! I love that she is conflicted between being a rocker chick and a little old lady who loves her pjs and old movies.. that is so me! Read her. She will make you laugh and you'll want to be her best friend as you cheer her on.

2) Jello Molds: Retro, wonderful odd concoctions. I got a great recipe for one the other day called Orange Salad.. not because of the fruit, but the color. Cheddar cheese topping and Jello? Youbetcha.

3) Starbuck's Thanksgiving Blend: Caffeine. Spicy. Good.

4) Seeing my daughter's little butt and legs in pants: I know it sounds weird but it's so cute to see her looking all sassy and grownup in her jeans

5) The spiraling economy: Again, I know it sounds weird and it sucks but at the same time I think it's a good resetting of people's expectations. Everyone has bigger cars, bigger houses and bigger bling ... we just all consume, consume, consume. I'm all for people, myself included, scaling back and appreciating the simpler things

6)www.retailmenot.com: Discount codes galore. In the immortal words of my friend Speedy, "Only schmucks pay retail"
