the little things 05

today me and david dropped my parents off at the airport. they are going to halifax for a few weeks to visit my brother and his family. before we went home we stopped at iona beach and walked for a bit. the ocean was kind of spectacular.

i made this gif on the party!party! app by a beautiful mess. it is so fun!

the little thing that is getting me through this evening though, is david doing the dishes! this guys is seriously the best at doing dishes. it makes me giddy when i don't have to do them.

true story.

the end.

i'm getting this post in just before monday is over. today was a good day. work went by surprisingly fast, my co-worker brought in her cute new puppy, i had a successful trip to target, and i got to go to a fun wedding shower celebrating one of my best friends! lots of little things to make this monday better.

but, for the sake of picking one little thing, i'm going with this sweet microwave cart i got for 15 bucks. finally my microwave can come off the floor and my toaster oven can relinquish its spot on the bookshelf.

today was a busy day. work, school, piano recital, wedding shower. back to back to back to back. the little thing that got me through the day today was going for coffee with my mom before work. nothing like a white chocolate mocha and some mom time to get me through the day!

ps. i love gifs. moving pictures are just superior to still ones. this one is from here

this glass of wine keeping me company as i do my homework on a blah monday.

the little things 01

mondays are hard. you're tired from the weekend and starting at the beginning of a new week of work can be downright depressing. on mondays it's especially important to stop and enjoy the little things that make you happy. so starting today, i'm going to post about a little thing that makes me happy on mondays!

today, it's these life savers in my desk drawer.

it makes me immensely happy to pull open my drawer, break open the wrapper on one of those minty delights and pop it in my mouth. most of the time i crunch them into oblivion in only a few seconds. but once in a while, when i'm feel especially patient i'll suck on one for like five minutes. those are the good ones, the long-lasting ones.

what is keeping you sane today? any tips to keep the monday blues away?
