1. Time alone in the car. I like driving when it's just me and my music.
2. Legitimately shopping for clothes for the kids. I love to shop, but I feel guilty when I know it's not "necessary."
3. Homemade egg salad. It turned out insanely good.

1. Time out with my son.
2. Rediscovering Steve Winwood's Roll With It.
3. Fine weather for a walk.

1. Just as I was telling my daughter I was sad I hadn't see the hummingbird today, the hummingbird flew up, hovered a moment, and darted off!

. . . That's really kind of the only good thing so now I have to go back to the basics:

1. Access to clean water whenever I want or need it.
2. A roof over my head.
3. Plenty of food.

1. A lovely profile of me and my latest book in the local paper.
2. Salon night! Hair and nails now in much better shape.
3. Saw a hawk in a tree on my morning walk. Also, more hummingbird sightings.

1. So much fun being a guest on a radio show for the first time ever!
2. Hash browns.
3. Hummingbirds.
