1. A really good Gmail chat with Rich.
2. The bowl of 5-cent antique buttons at Mina's boutique on The Avenue.
3. The crazy man with a speech impediment who came up to me at the 7-11 and said (I think) "Happy New Year. Obama. The Bible. Men."
4. Not really caring that I was so floored by the crazy man that I left my soda on the counter (I think) and had to go to the Farm Store for another one twenty minutes later.
5. Finding a perfect birthday gift for Maurice plus a thank you gift for Mike at Avenue Antiques.
6. A dinner of steamed shrimp, really yummy pesto and salad with Dad.
7. Trying a new brand of cava.
8. Talking with Dave and Tina about "yacht rock" at Katie's party. (Click on the date above for more).
9. Silly white trashy firecrackers on the porch at midnight.
10. Grabbing a few sprigs from the enormous rosemary bush near Katie's house on my walk home.
