this week was good because of...

...discovering this scene on my walk home Wednesday. I have no idea who built them, but they are adorable!

...the gorgeous thick snowfall we had Wednesday morning.

...hearing Pink's new song (and finding her motivation for it inspiring).



...a variety dozen of doughnuts from Krispy Kreme - including the neat football-shaped one.



...a tasty treat on Sunday morning before church.

...mild, sunny coat-free weather over the weekend.



...this lovely sentiment on a journal cover at Barnes & Noble.

...good mid-year feedback from my student staff.

...one last fantastic hair cut with my stylist...before she moves to Chicago. Excited for her, but disappointed for me.



...indulging in some quiet time.

...the perfect birthday present for Wildcat Guy.



...the first hint of desire to open my home to a new kitty.

...appreciating a good working relationship with a colleague.

...a crazy flow of ideas for the wedding.



...the thick pile of marshmallows on a tasty cup of hot chocolate.

...a visually stunning, mentally intriguing movie....the fun of a shared interest in movies.



...a new favorite sweater that looks awesome, feels comfortable...



...and has just a hint of sassy style.

...laughing with Wildcat Guy about unwanted attention from some random guy. In the Walmart parking lot.

...a surprise visit from a former student.



...trading a kiss for a bite of Wildcat Guy's chicken and dumplings.

...yet another awesome free concert on campus.



...a big box of pictures from Kodak Gallery, ready for scrapbooking.

...wrapping up the week with a seven-lap swim.
