This was an uneventful week in the average american household. Not much was happening that could be construed as exciting, or blog-worthy. But looking back over the whole week, (and downloading photos from same), there were plenty of little joys, if you know where to look...
We (or one of us):
-Read new Relevant magazine
-Beat the Browns on Madden O7
-Beat Bowser on The New Super Mario Bros.
-Read "Seabiscuit", again
-Watched "Top Chef"
-Made several scrapbook pages-Played with Mommy's fuzzy scarf
-Watched "What's Up, Doc?"
-Got a blue tongue from raspberry drink at Perkins
-Finally spent birthday money on four fashion-conscious (and adorable) outfits
-Ate delicious tiramisu from the new Fresh Market
-Read "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"
-Got beautiful pink roses
-Went rollerskating with a friend
-Got recruited to do the children's sermon five minutes before service, and actually pulled it off
-Helped several kids to NOT FAIL English by keeping them during lunch to finish work
-Played dress up as Voldemort and Darth Vader-Caught up on sleep
-Watched 24, got the DVD, watched it again, watched the sneak preview of the first 10 minutes of next week, waited impatiently
-Woke up to the first dusting of snow of the season
-Updated the 24 Wiki
-Decided on a vacation destination for the summer, after much democratic debate - we're planning a combo trip to Philly and the Outer Banks
I think sometimes it's easy to look forward to big events coming in the future, or memories of the past. What's more difficult is to find joy in the everyday moments. Sure, there were some down moments this week, too. Lots of things didn't go the way we planned, tempers flared, people were cranky. But hopefully this little list will remind us to enjoy the little things in life.
