A Few of My Favorite Things.

Every so often, my life hits a quiet little plateau.  This happens to be one of those times.  The school year is winding down.  My running has kept me busy - and kept me from doing much on Friday evenings.  The hubs is working like a mad man.  There's been some amazing television programming as well.  Because there is so much making me happy, I figured I'd use this opportunity from Kelly to list some of my ten favorite things at the moment (in no particular order)!


1.) Spring has (finally) arrived in Chicago!

2.) The Indy Mini-Marathon is one week away!  My training has been going really well, and I am hoping to beat my time from last year.  And, if all goes well, there may be a full marathon in my future!


Isn't it funny how we can be so motivated by objects?  I recently purchased these running tights, and I swear, it made my long run this morning that much faster!  HA!

3.) The Royal Wedding!

I swear, I really wasn't THAT into it - until I saw the "William and Kate" Lifetime movie.  So, like most of the Twitter world, I woke up early on Friday to watch as much of the coverage as possible before work.  I honestly didn't think I'd be as moved as I was.  Kate was just stunning and classic, and what can I say?  I am a sucker for romance!


(And P.S.  I noticed that many people on Facebook (Ahem, MEN!) kept slamming those who watched the wedding, claiming that those who cared about it either a.) did not care about America, or b.) should pay closer attention to other events happening around the world.  Listen up, y'all!  Just because someone is a sucker for romance does NOT mean they are ill-informed about other news, nor is it a sign of a lack of patriotism.  Let's calm down here.  I would also like to point out that these are the SAME people who constantly update their status about REALLY important things like baseball.  And also think that Barack Obama was born in Africa.  GET A CLUE.)


4.) The new show "Happy Endings".


Umm, this show is HILARIOUS.  I totally wish I was able to spend more time with my friends and indulge in crazy antics.


5.)  That these two ladies are coming to visit in a little over a month!

6.)  That clients give my hubby gift cards so he can take me out to dinner.


7.)  There is one month left of the school year, and then it's SUMMER!


8.)  Reading a good book in bed.


9.)  Z Gallerie.  Why have I not ordered from this place before?  On my radar?

10.)  Triple grande non-fat caramel macchiatos.

I was supposed to choose ten people to continue the "Favorite Things" list, but if you're interested, please play along!  What is making YOU happy?
