Holiday Perm-a-Grins

You know those simple things in life that make you smile even just thinking about it? You can't help it...you gotta smile...and you can't stop smiling. There are several things on my Perm-a-Grin list including (but not limited to):

Norah Jones
Avocado-Vanilla Tapioca Drinks
Extra end-of-the-month budget money
Hot tubs

Its one of those things that make me happy cause I don't get these often making them a special treat when I do. Holidays do the same thing because there are some things I don't get unless its the holiday season. Here's my Perm-a-Grin holiday list:

Homemade Capriotti sandwich (turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce on a roll...try it if you haven't)
Christmas smelling candles
Elf ("Buddy the Elf. What's your favorite color?")
Peppermint ice cream
Turning off all lights except a lamp and the Christmas tree

So, this is me signing off....with a perm-a-grin. :)

p.s. Twelve more days until I head to Utah. Another thing that makes me smile.

We just bought "Elf." We should all get together and watch it sometime! When do you guys leave for Utah?

Mmmmm you made me hungry :)

Oh, and about the 1950's wife thing: I've asked around, and wives weren't like that, really ;) A lot of what I said was true about me, though, but its not like that all the time. Even when it is, we're REALLY HAPPY. People still get grossed out by our lovey-doviness! And I would much rather prefer that to a fake marriage ;) There's a great quote by Marjorie Hinckley about that...I'll find it for you ;)
