Six Things: Birthday, Mother's Day

Six things for which I'm thankful this week:

--Good friends and family.
--Especially those who wished me a happy birthday today. ;)
--And my mom, without whom none of my life would have been possible, literally. Happy mother's day to all the awesome moms out there!
--$10 golden caviar from Harris Teeter that put the finishing touch on my dinner menu tonight: shrimp and pasta with champagne-ginger sauce, sashimi tuna salad and cucumber topped with cream and caviar.
--My new blonde wig, which I will show off on the blog shortly.
--Being able to sleep diagonally on my full-sized bed, swaddled in many blankets. Until 10 a.m. on Sunday. Days like this almost make me forget about the drab of the work week. :P Which I'm back to when I wake up tomorrow...

Six Things For Which I'm Grateful: Empanadas, Dancing

--Good friends and family.
--GPS is my buddy.
--Hole-in-the-wall Bolivian restaurants with amazing empanadas (salteƱas) and peach cider.
--Carefree nights spent dancing with friends. (I went clubbing in D.C. last night...such a nice change of pace.)
--Eyelash curlers. A few pumps makes my eyes look so big and awake! (Like last night, when I was exhausted before going to the club...I'd slept four hours on my mini sofa in the living room the night before because there was a hornet in my bedroom. And I'm crazy. Blah.)
--Sighs of relief followed by laughter.


...That ring is a bit big for me...I'm thinking about giving it to my mom for mother's day, since she is very full of laughter and life :)

Saturday's Six Things For Which I'm Grateful

I'm not much of a daily affirmations gal, but today, I feel like briefly reflecting on some of the things that make my life a bit brighter. In no particular order:

--Good friends and family.
--Nice weather! Seventy five degrees and sunny inspired me to put on capri pants and go for a few strolls today.
--Crosswalks. Since they make it so much easier to be a pedestrian, both in downtown D.C. (where I grabbed lunch this afternoon) and by my apartment in suburban Maryland.
--NYX lip gloss with shine in Crystal Soda. It's a salmony pink color that makes my lips look juicy.
--Wireless Internet. I can blog at my desk, on my bed, in the kitchen, in my bathtub. Amen to that.
--Bubble tea. And the cute guy who works at the bubble tea kiosk in my local mall. ;)
