Things I Like:

:: Stormy days that call for tea in the afternoons while watching the wind blow debris into the yard and whitecaps crowning the waves.

:: Cleaning up said debris with Leify and putting it on the burn pile for a bonfire later on.

:: Little boys who wear their life jackets or helmets around the house.

:: Prep Bowls that I received from DaMomma yesterday. I've been needing some more bowls (I never have enough) for mise en place. The blue and white ones make me think of Greece, a great place to escape to in your head while you're cooking! The green ones match my kitchen towels.
:: A Little Guy who flops on the floor at random and falls asleep, napping there for several hours. He's been making a habit out of this lately.

:: A Project completed in less than 24 hours from writing it on my to-do list. I normally take months to even begin a project I want to do, so it is nice for "Procrastination Laura" to step aside to let "Full-Steam-Ahead-Laura" take charge.

:: The boxes that my mom gave me, perfect for housing Leif's Sandpaper Letters. Thanks, DaMomma!

Things I Don't Like:

:: The recent crop of phrases on a huge percentage of postings at job sites, like: "Local Applicants Only" and "Overqualified Need Not Apply" - I suddenly feel like a long-haired hippie person. Has it come to this? It seems that having a Degree is now a liability, not an asset.

:: Uncertainty. It buggers up everything from decorating the house, to gardening, to dinner plans. Bah, Uncertainty, Bah!

Back to Things I Like (Because Things I Like are More Fun!):

:: Finding Feathers on the ground on walks with Leif.

:: Placing said Feathers in a jar we found on the shore - it is filled with sand from the beach, with the feathers propped up in it. All of it found, and together makes me happy.
