It doesn’t seem fair that it should be Friday already.  I feel like I haven’t “worked for it” enough or somesuch silliness.  Considering our week didn’t start until Wednesday, it has definitely been a rather cushy week.  And everyone has gotten back on track rather quickly after our trip to Elko.  I remember when Harry was little it always took a few days to get him back to sleeping normally again and he would be kind of a snot for a few days.  But Liam has been pretty good (as good as you can expect him to be, rather) and Evie has been fine as well.  So YAY for that!  

And YAY for Friday!  We don’t have anything major on the books this weekend (don’t think we could afford it if we wanted to anyhow), maybe a trip to the store or two.  I know.  Aren’t you just thrilled?  I can barely contain my own excitement.  But weekends aren’t about excitement.  They’re about chilling the heck out.  And if you know me, you know I love to chill the heck out.  

Wait.  Before I get ahead of myself, I’d better start in on my List of Fabulous.  

• I think we’re going to do another “date night” tonight.  Kile has a salmon roast in the freezer, stuffed with shrimp if I recall and I can barely wait to try it.  Hmm.  Should probably confirm with him and set it in the fridge to defrost, huh?  We also have a little bottle of Icewine to drink.  I’ll have to think up some other fun date night stuff too.  
• While we’re settling further into cooler weather (which I love, if you weren’t already aware), we’re seeing some downright mild temperatures this week.  It’s nice to have a last little respite of warmth before things cool down for the duration.  Of course, if the temperatures don’t go back to normal soon, I may start griping.  In the meantime, however, I’m going to enjoy not having to wear a coat all the time. 
• “The Office” and “30 Rock” were especially good last night.  I mean, they’re pretty much ALWAYS good.  It’s nice to have that to count on on a Thursday night, isn’t it?  
• Have you see the Oprah/Snapfish free photo book offer going around?  I don’t have the link handy and I’m far too lazy to go look it up (I got it off Baby Cheapskate and Freebies 4 Moms had it too), but i put one together yesterday and it turned out so cool.  It’s a $30 book for FREE, you just pay shipping.  Now tell me that’s not FABULOUS!
• Obama is going to be our next President!  I know this is old news.  But I am still rather excited about it and so therefore, it’s making my list.  
• I can theoretically sleep in tomorrow.  Even if it ends up being a pipe dream, just the dream of being able to sleep in makes my toes want to curl.  Woot! 

While Monday might have it’s “Hate List” (I’ve not forgotten that!  Expect to see a new Hate List soon!), Friday is a day that inspires joy and happiness and (most often) relief.  It stands to reason Friday would be a day to celebrate just what is GREAT, praise the good and share the love.  Am I right?  So let’s feel the love, shall we?  Because, people, it’s FRIDAY!!  (Woot woot!)

• How well my boys are playing together.  Sure, they’re rough and they make me cringe with all the crashing around the living room (this is mostly on Harry’s part as he is now roughly the size of Bigfoot), but Liam laughs his fool head off and he’s been taking great naps as a result.  Let’s hear it for brotherly love!
• Goodmama diapers.  I have to admit to being a little on the obsessed side with these yummy diapers (bet you thought you’d never hear that phrase, huh?).  I’m nowhere near as obsessed as some (I only have three of them to date), but I’m constantly scheming on how I’m going to acquire more.  LOVE THEM.
• Evie’s appetite.  While in the middle of the night it’s not nice to constantly have to roll over and feed her, it’s nice that she’s so much more into eating solids than Liam was.  She was practically GIDDY when I was feeding her Country Garden Vegetables last night.  SERIOUSLY!
• Kile’s work camera.  I guess I never considered that there are some point-and-shoot cameras that have a lot of the DSLR features but for a lot cheaper.  The new contributor over at PW’s Photography blog first clued me in to it.  And see that Kile’s work camera costs about what we paid for MY point-and-shoot camera over three years ago?  Makes me think that might be my best bet for a new camera.  Now the question is… do I stay with Sony or do I try another brand?

I keep thinking of things that are annoying me instead of things that are making me happy.  Heh.  I guess I really AM ready for another Hate List!  In the meantime, enjoy my list and share with me a little of what is making you happy today.  Maybe I’ll feel inspired to expand my love!
