All the Small Things

I sometimes think that i get too caught up with worrying about the big stuff to take time out and appreciate the small things that make the uphill slog worth it. Sitting outside today, watching Shae and the dogs playing, I realised that the tree in our front yard has been flowering for 6 straight months and instead of just enjoying teh pretty yellowness of it all, i spend a lot of time bitching about the flowers falling all over my car.

well, enough of that, time to sit back and enjoy some of the little perks:

• rediscovering mudpies and sandpits (thanks Shae!!)
• the mutts playing a three-way tug-o-war
  
• Pippin trying to pounce her own shadow
• Disney movies
• cheese (sorry Anne!)
• actually being awake to see a sunrise
• Quinn wearing his frisbee as a hat
• coffee
• friends' killer sayings (tina's gem: if all the world's a stage, i want better lighting!)
• Shae's complete refusal to call me mom (it's ME-GINNNN, thankyouverymuch)
• finding my Empire Records DVD and LOVING that movie all over again.
