More Favorite Things!

This bed rest thing gets me bummed out sometimes. It's required giving up more of my autonomy than I'd care to, and I try to remind myself it's for a wonderful cause (Cletus!).

Here are some happy things, to make both me and you smile:

Peanut Butter! I can eat it on a spoon. It's excellent on apple slices. There are other people with Type 1 diabetes who are PNB fiends like myself. Brett Micheals for one. Not that I consider him a role model, but we do have that common bond.



Manicured Toes! I don't often put polish on my toes, but I am vain about my feet. I keep them well-groomed and lotion-ed up. My Aunt did my nails for me a few days ago - in OPI's "I'm not really a waitress" red. HOT! They make me smile every time I look at them.



The Joy of Others! My husband has been playing around with his media center.This means organizing DVDs, recording our CDs into digital form so we can play them via our network, and adding features to his big entertainment center on the cheap. It's highly creative and he has so much fun with it. Plus it's essential like a DVR for us, so if I want to watch something later he can record it for me.

Baby Giggles! I'm on a parenting message board that tells it like it is. The joys and travails are enthusiastically shared, lamented, and support abounds. Folks post their videos and photos of babies and kids, and the giggling baby ones are the best.

Our Doggies! Okay, sometimes my girl Lucy annoys me. She's not the brightest, and she's not the pleasantest - she's actually sort of stinky with a big bark - but she's a very happy girl and does come and sleep at the end of our bed at night. Anya is sweet and she comes into the bed room and lays down; I'm going to assume it's to keep me company. Although she does give me the eye if I'm laying on her couch, as if to hint 'So, ya gonna move already? I wanna lay down!'



Baths! They are awesome. I'm allowed to take them again, and it's very luxurious. My sister even gave me some nice bathsalts. Classy ones - they don't smell like artificial flowers, just lavender and calm. I never used to like baths but then again, I never had an extra weight strapped to my front either. Buoyancy for the win!
