happy things for Friday

Because I'm tired and it seems like a good way to round out a week, and it's been awhile I'm giving you happy things for your Friday post. Missing out on the roses is always so easy and I love focusing on the good for no other reason than I can.

• Impromtu road trips, even if it's just to buy stuff for Bunny's models.
• Progress on the crafting. I'm having fun and a decent amount has been done lately. 
• Curling up with a good book, and having tea delivered while I'm reading. Nothing's quite as good as that, right?
• Choosing exactly the right books at exactly the right time. There's nothing like the punch in the gut feeling of a fictional character telling you exactly what you needed to hear, or going through a situation you're struggling with.
• The cats. Because they're both pretty cute. I like cute.
• When old friends invite me to the post-wedding pig roast. How's that for celebration?
• Starbucks hazelnut macchiato because I can never get enough hazelnut coffee. Almost as good as my preferred latte from Second Cup. 
• Original artwork. Even though it's not hanging up, I love having it.
• My handmixer that I'm almost loving more than the KitchenAid. It's not monster sized, which makes my life easy.
• Having about half a dozen recipes I want to share. Sneak peak: crepes, gratins, cookies, stir fry.
• Puppy snuggles, because they're always a favourite.
• Back rubs in bed from Bunny.
• Having a day at work. Last month was hard and I was stressed and frustrated the whole time. When the days are going well, it makes going in the next day that much more exciting.
• Busy days in the kitchen.
