-Everything
that comes out of my son’s mouth. This toddler seriously cracks me up, when he
isn’t making my heart all melty. This week there were these gems:
-In line at the grocery store: ‘Hey
everybody, I keep tooting!”
-At the drive-thru ATM at the bank:
‘We’re at the big piggy bank!’
-At bedtime: ‘Momma, you’re all I
need’.
-After I give him the fifth kiss at
bedtime: ‘Okay, that’s enough kisses now.’
-My friend
Shannon Mancuso, who also happens to be a talented photographer. I realize
Shannon is not a ‘thing’, but she gets on this list for putting up with my
MAJOR pickiness during our two author photo shoots (my hair looked stupid the
first time :D ).
-The book
Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty. I realize this book came out in 2001 so I’m
way behind on the times by saying this, but it is seriously, seriously AWESOME!
When I was halfway through the book I ordered the other 4 books in the series
online. I’m so depressed they’re not available at my local Chapters and that
shipping is about 2 weeks. It’s cruel and unfair.
-The TV
show Awkward. When I finished Sloppy Seconds, blog-follower Rachel recommended
that if I liked that book, I should watch Awkward. I just started watching it
last night and am almost finished the entire first season. It. Is. Awesome. So
freaking funny and witty and engaging. Love it! (Rachel—the dead Stacey
episode? GAH! SO FUNNY!)
-Fall season (or shall I say Pumpkin Spice Latte season). Everything about it.
-Thanksgiving dinners not cooked by me (because I have to go to work for night shift--the only good thing about working night shift on Thanksgiving, actually).
-Lots more things
I love the lines from your son. Toooo cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love him too :)

DeleteThanksgiving is my favorite! I remember reading Sloppy Firsts sophmore year in high school... it was making the rounds with all of my friends as well. great series.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could read it for the first time all over again!
Deletelove it! toddlers do say the darndest things. can't say EVERYTHING out of my son's mouth has been a fave lately (he's going through a rough patch, what with the moving to russia, mama going back to work, and just being two), but when he comes up to me and hugs me and says "i love you," well, yeah, that's pretty awesome :)
ReplyDeleteRUSSIA?!?! Wow, that is HUGE! Congrats, and hope all goes well!
