five things...

...that are making me happy today:

1.  An e-mail from my friend, Jane, telling me she had the new catalogs...and I could get one TODAY!071609_catalog

2.  A wonderful visit with Jane...seriously, she is someone I could just chat with all day long! 

And when I was leaving, she gave me these, freshly cut from her flower garden this morning:071609_lavender

oooh, if you could only smell the lavender...it's so sweet!

3.  Since summer has finally arrived (and the temps are consistently 90-ish lately), I've been drinking lots of H2O.  You've gotta love a nice big glass of ice-water.  I love it the most after it sits for a while, so the ice is soft and chewable, mmmm.  And drinking it out of my new cups (from Target) makes me even happier!

(okay, looking at this picture, the water looks murky.  it's totally not - it's the way the glass "fogged up" on the outside...I promise...the water is fresh and clean and super yummy!)

4.  Next, to water, this is my favorite drink this summer.  I pour 1/4 of the cup full of limeade (it has to be this brand), and then top it off with diet coke.  It is soooooo good!

5.  Does this even need an explanation?
