This Week's Delights

Guess what, y'all? I've got my jeans on! Know what that means? It's Friiiii-dayyyyy!!!!! I make a point to pronounce the word Friday with the "Oprah inflection". You know--the crazy tone she takes when introducing John Travolta or announcing she's giving each studio audience member a front-loading washer and dryer and a basket of kittens. That's how I feel about Fridays. I feel so very Oprah-inflection about them.

Before I get my Sat-urrrr-dayyyyy!!! on, I like to reflect on the things that made my week shine like a new penny.

* The way I set the table for Sunday dinner. I don't really see a reason why dining by candlelight should be reserved for special occasions.

* This week I got Invisalign braces to close some gaps in my teeth and silicone plugs injected in my tear ducts to cure my dry eye problem. I could totally keep up with the Kardashians with this much plastic in my face.

* My new leopard cardigan, mostly because it is the complete antithesis of what I usually buy. Rawr!!

* This jar full of owl cookies. Hootie-patooties. (Somewhere in Texas my brother just called me a loser.)

* My heart literally bursting into flames on Wednesday night watching dreamy Darren Criss singing acapella on Glee. I've never seen this kid before, but I think I lurrrrrrve him. Everyone should be attracted to him--women, men, dogs, cats--everyone. I haven't felt this way since I was a kid watching Sixteen Candles for the first time at a slumber party.
