Here are the things which made me happy today:
1. A cool, crisp morning and a nice warm afternoon. In October. In Illinois.
2. Already-changing leaves on trees, unlike last year when leaves didn’t really change until November. But, the beauty of it all is that the weather has been so ADD that the trees are changing SLOWLY and not all at once. Yay!
3.
Hamlet
This adorable, crazy cat who slept ALLLLLL day on the warm blanket on my bed after actually sleeping through the night curled up at my side.
4. 
My first-ever brand-new episode of The Office. I’ve been waiting two weeks for this.
5. 22 days until the wedding!
6. Finally finishing the cover story for our October Progress edition of the paper, the story which has been the bane of my existence for weeks upon weeks.
7. 
My only in-home Halloween decorations. I’ve been driving around town for weeks wishing I could put up all the pumpkins and scarecrows other people have on their lawns but, alas, I do not yet have my own yard (Next year!)
8. This brave woman and her wonderful, beautiful family. I want to be her.
9.
Chocolate chip cookie pie (recipe forthcoming)
A piece of warm chocolate chip cookie pie (well, two) that I made last week.
Crust = not happy
But not enough to eat the crust.
10. 
Being able to see my wonderful, fabulous, amazing CG tomorrow and looking forward to a great weekend full of bridal showers, haunted houses, Knox County Scenic Drive and planning our future together!
Happy almost-weekend to everyone!
Loves,
MW
