no reason in particular. just an overall feeling of contentment. man, i love contentment. i especially love enduring contentment.
things i'm happy about:
*i love my smudgy cakes kids. i know i have been honest about how they drive me nutso sometimes. now i must be honest about how they make me so happy~ giz is in such a great phase...i think 9 mos to 19 months was possibly her most unsavory phase. let's hope. she is saying so many words: "ba ba"=drink, "obby"=sorry, "day do"=thank you, "ide"=outside or inside, whichever one she isn't at the moment, "peee"=please. happy am i for a girl who can speak. leah is more of a sweethearted girl than ever. i overheard her telling giz: "it's okay my little sweety, i'll help you." i'm holding my breath that things stay this delightful for some time to come!
*i made a really tasty dinner tonite: vegetarian chili, cornbread muffins, apple crisp.
*i love the holidays, and they're starting.
*i feel super duper fulfilled by darlybird (the other darlybird). my mind is always thinking of new ideas, and that is so much fun.
*i got a pronk blouse this weekend (the beautiful blouse). love it!
*perfect weather. highs in the mid 70s. morning chill.
*fall leaves. i even snagged a few when i was in utah briefly; i took them home, pressed flat in my purse, and now they are decorating various areas of my home.
*giz wants me to read to her. i'm a happy mom.

Normally I get peeved when I see the Christmas decorations out before Halloween. However, today at TJ Maxx my heart skipped a beat when I looked at the piles and piles of Christmas tchotchkes.
Hooray! Holidays!
I miss you! I had the strangest dream that I bit you on the shoulder and it left these boil-like marks. Yikes. I would never do that! Weirdness. Anyway, I'm so glad you keep a blog, and that you're my friend. And Happy Birthday to Jon, by the way. Your girls are TOO cute! Sometimes I don't realize we (my kids and I) have been in a good phase until we're moving out of it. Contentment is a very good thing. Enjoy. =)
I'm feeling it too.
:)
I'm missing the California Fall weather, but I guess I'll have to be CONTENT with this new phase of my life!
I'm glad you are happy. It's just better that way.
i love this time of year, too! it's just so fun to stay inside and cook. i made pumpkin chocolate chip bread and a great chicken stew last night. yum! and, then spent a few hours reading "piano lessons" (which i'm really liking-so thank you) with a big cup of hot chocolate. i'm also thrilled to hear that giz has turned the corner!
I'd be content with that too....sounds perfect. I'm especially envious of you getting a pronk blouse. I would love one, but am afraid to buy something that expensive before trying it on. I'm sure it will look great, but you know?
