When I visited my grandparents as a little girl, one of my favorite things to do was to sit on the bed with my grandmother and look through her jewelry boxes. I’ve loved jewelry for as long as I can remember (oohh, shiny!). I’m not sure if it’s because of me and my grandmother’s tradition, or if it was the other way around.

Tim’s mom is going to be moving soon. One day last week, I went over to help her start packing. She pulled out her jewelry box, and told me to take it home and go through it, and to keep what I wanted. It brought back the memories of sitting with my grandmother and looking at all of her treasures. It made me a little sad, because I still miss her a lot, but it mostly made me happy to think of those times again. I realize now that the treasure wasn’t inside of any jewelry box; it was the time shared with someone very dear to me.

Each spring, we are visited by a duck couple (a male and a female), and they stop by every so often throughout the summer. I can’t say for sure that it’s the same pair, but I like to think it is, and that they choose to come see us every year.

It’s Wednesday! Feel free to link up below, and then please be kind enough to leave a comment.

These are a few of my favorite things–in no particular order…


Laptop.

My laptop. All my friends live in it!


 

Candles.

I love candles in all shapes and sizes! Vanilla is my favorite scent.


 

Can of Diet Pepsi.

After coffee, Diet Pepsi is my beverage of choice.


 

Bottle of Hershey's chocolate syrup.

Who doesn't love some Hershey's Syrup? Confession: I like to put some in a glass of Diet Pepsi. Love me a chocolate soda!


 

My HTC Evo 3D/4G cell phone.

I got an HTC Evo 3D/4G cell phone (in my favorite color: purple) last November, and it is AMAZING! It's a mini-computer that you can also use as a phone!


 

Cup of coffee.

You know I couldn't make a list of my favorite things without mentioning coffee!

but rarely admit the changes it has gone
through to achieve that beauty.”

“May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.”

The flower a tethered butterfly.”

small but approachable, butterflies lead
you to the sunny side of life.
And everyone deserves a little sunshine.”

Maybe because I’ve been sick for the last eleven days, I was having difficulty finding inspiration for this week’s Wordless Wednesday post. I turned to my collection of humorous graphics. They (whoever “they” are) say that laughter is the best medicine. And, sick or not, who couldn’t use a smile or a laugh? So, without further adieu, here are some funnies for you, my friends!


Few things in life feel better than taking your bra off at the end of a long day.

Am I right ladies?

I'm just tweeting to tell you I blogged.

Doesn't everyone? LOL!
