Rain: Bring On the Homesick

Rainy day melancholy means one thing; I need to make a list of 10 happy things:

1. Puppies – Silly puppy makes me smile, so I decided to take pictures of Pino on my web cam. He had a snaggle tooth, but managed to correct it as soon as the picture snapped. Oh well. It’s still cute.

2. Wedding planning – I spent several hours looking for bridesmaid dresses. I’ve actually found this to be the hardest part of planning my wedding… finding a dress that fits all shapes and sizes, isn’t too expensive, and one the girls would feel happy to wear again. Different sizes, different budgets, different solutions?

3. Borscht  – Got the recipe from my mom tonight and will be cooking a Russian feast for myself this weekend. Maybe I’ll find some other Borscht loving Arkansans this weekend… maybe not.

4. Musical Theatre – Broadway Review at the Walton Arts Centre this Thursday? Yes, please.

5. “To Catch a Predator” – Good thing I’ve got 5 episodes on my DVR. These guys are nuts, but watching them get caught makes me happy. Especially when they recognize “Chris Hanson with Dateline NBC” before he tells them who he is. This also reminds me of Haley and Eric and all our date nights, while painting our nails.

6. Nail Polish – Shatter by OPI. So stoked. Maybe I’ll paint them hot pink with Shatter on top, then I can get on a Skype call with…

7. Amelie! – My niece only likes talking to me if she can see my pretty nails. 🙂 I guess I can forgive her… she’s only 2 1/2.

8. Pilates – Tomorrow!

9. Music – There’s a guitar on my wall… maybe I need to hold her.

10. Writing. So, here I am.
