1. Baby Girl's reaction to a wreck in yesterday's NASCAR race really made me smile. She asked what happened and when I told her there was a wreck, she asked if the cars had "boo-boos". I told her yes, they did, so she started kissing the screen so the cars would feel better. How cute is that!

2. Beautiful sunny days

3. Getting the upstairs of my house cleaned up and all the laundry finished in one day.

4. Getting to know one of my internet friends better and realizing what a strong person she is.

5. Steak and mashed potatoes!

1. The return of the NASCAR season - I know, I'm just a little bit white-trashy!

2. Going to bed at 9:00 last night, not because I was sick, but just because I felt like it. (could've been the champagne I had with lunch)

3. The fact that I now have Hubby hooked on BSG and Lost! Yes, I'm a little bit geeky, too!

4. A nice visit with my in-laws this morning. They're always so excited to see us.

5. Finishing a Mardi Gras sock. One more to go before Friday! Can she do it? We'll see!

1. Finding my camera that has been missing for over a month, driving me crazy! Somehow it was in a bag that I've looked in no less than 4 times...

4. My F-i-L having a successful hernia surgery today.
