Things I am loving:

Really tight hugs from people who knew me back when I wore huge, blue glasses* and was in ninth grade.
A promised journal, black leather bound, graph paper innards, now in my possession.
Staying up way too late with two girls.
Wedding dresses that cost 10 dollars.
Talking about weddings with one of those girls.
Surprising my little brothers at my Gram's house.
Playing wii and seeing our reflections in the tv screen.
Evidence that he is a head taller than me.
Cuddling with my golden friend.
Looking up directions to Germantown on google maps.
Caring less about Germantown and more about people who live there!
Being surrounded by evidence of a nurturer: green potted plants, a turtle named Will Robinson, a grapefruit tree started from a grapefruit seed.
Knowing that the rest of the world is going hog wild at retail stores tomorrow, but my golden friend and I will be thrifting at favorite places.
Using less than a tank of gas to make a six hour trip.
Gas prices that kept dropping the further south I got.
Ginger snaps.
Bucks County.
Driving on roads that I grew up driving on and finding small memories I've tucked in the recesses of my mind.
Did I mention Bucks County? And stone houses?
Fall in eastern Pennsylvania.
Thanksgiving. I am loving Thanksgiving.

*someone kindly just reminded me that I still wear huge, blue glasses. thank you very much. the current ones are more chic. i promise.
