I love . . .

Things I love . . .

1. Being able to post in this that I accomplished a mission (which I did . . . read on and I'll explain)
2. Knee High Socks . . . I love them, I love how they keep you warm, I love how they look with my workout pants, I love them :)
3. My puppy and how hes so excited when I come home, probably more to go to the bathroom than to see me, but I"ll take what I can get
4. Home cooked meals, having enough food in the fridge or cabinets in order to make something (right now chili is cookin)
5. Baking and then giving what I made to others . . . I just like the activity, I dont so much like having the sweets all over my apartment. 
6. Compliments . . . whether its someone tellin me I did a good job, or saying I look good, telling me my baked goods are awesome, or whatever . . . compliments directed towards me are things I love.

Just felt the need to focus on the simple pleasures of my life today.
