five little things that made my week:
1. staedtler erasers and number two pencils (two in one).
{because when you have to erase and rewrite countless numbers of folders that had been labeled incorrectly, having the right tools makes it a little less painful. and because our elementary school teachers were right, number twos really are better}
2. a postcard from mom from texas.
{because i love my mom. and postcards.}
3. my little french press.
{because twice it saved me from spending money on coffee at an overpriced cafe. (twice it didn’t. tant pis.) and it reminds me of my dad. i like my family.}
4. my new little brown vintage belt.
{cause it’s just what i needed.}
5. my answering machine.
{because usually i hate it, but this week it saved a nice message, and then blurted it loudly for the world to hear. (sorry, neighbors)}
{and james. because he cleaned out the fridge.}
{also: echinacea tea and leftovers.}
what little something made your week better?

Whenever the cat does something he is not supposed to do (like walk over the stove), I tell him that he is in trouble and that I will soon make him into a cat casserole.
Yesterday morning, he crawled into an empty (clean) baking pan on top of the stove and settled in for a nap. I did not even care that he went on the stove or that I had to re-wash the pan. It was just too funny.

This week I got a handmade mushroom in the mail, and my boyfriend sent me a letter in the mail (he had the flu and I hadn’t heard from him in 2 weeks and I don’t have a phone).
And the sun shining brightly every morning in my room.
giving my dog a long overdue bath so he is super soft and smells nice, which in turn equals lots of cuddling. 🙂

this blog is lovely, erin! it was nice to find it today after reading a bunch of gripey grad school emails, {sigh}. earlier this evening brian and i went and bought ourselves a mattress, to be delivered tomorrow. (i separated my shoulder and tore my rotator cuff last summer, and sleeping on a worn out, hand-me-down mattress has been especially bad.) i can’t wait. i got so excited that i also bought a new, white fluffy comforter and sky blue egyptian cotton sheets. after it is delivered, i think i might just dress the bed and stay in it all day.
Finding the perfect coffee table finally. nice comments on my blog. and mexican food!
Your blog header is adorable and probably my favorite of all the ones i’ve seen.
