Things that do not suck...

• pancakes for dinner...yum...they are even better if they are chocolate chip pancakes, but you can substitute a side of bacon for the chocolate chips and all will be right with the world
• tears of happiness...the kind you get from sappy movies, watching babies being born, etc.
• my new sweater from Target...the only I probably shouldn't have bought
• playa del carmen, mexico...get there and you'll see why it doesn't suck
• good friends
• good wine
• good food...I am overdue for a sushi dinner...
• sunny and crisp fall days
• holiday smells -- pine, cinnamon, mulled spices...
• coming home to a clean house
• being caught up on all the laundry...even if it's only a temporary thing
• pedicured toes...even though mine aren't always looking their best
• "boat drinks" in the winter
• Radio Margaritaville
• paying off a credit card or two
• keeping the faith even when times seem tough
• giggling with your cousin...even though she said, "you need a little more dork in your life."
• working for family who are your friends and friends who are your family...although this particular thing that does not suck CAN suck at times =]
• cashmere sweaters
• my Birkenstock "Boston" clogs -- all three pairs of them
• old school Dave Matthews Band...RIP Roi!
• beachcombing on Hatteras Island
• snugga, snugga, snugga time with the kids
• fresh baked brownies
• money in the bank
• road trips
• being able to help others
• being appreciated
• saying "I love you" and meaning every bit of it
• my Dyson...because it DOES suck, but in a good way (yes, it's true, they don't lose their suction!)
