- My bed after a long trip
- Cozy socks
- A nice cup of hot tea and movie.
- Hot chocolate on a snowy day.
- Freshly laundered sheets and a newly made bed.
- Any Jane Austen book on a cold, rainy night.
- People watching in a busy city when you have nothing to do.
So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

SaraBeth,
What is a marshmallow milkshake?

Posted: 1/3/07 at 10:40pmThere's a restaurant in my area that offers milkshakes in every flavor you can imagine. A marshmallow shake is just that, a marshmallow flavored milkshake. It's quite delicious.

Posted: 1/3/07 at 10:41pmAn ice cold martini, straight up, olives on the side.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Small pleasures, small pleasures, who would deny us these? Heh...sorry.
~Seeing Christmas lights through falling snow
~Vanilla Crème Frappuccinos
~The school bell at three o'clock
~Rain at night, especially in a big city
~Thunderstorms outside while I'm inside with a book and a hot cup of tea
~My family going out somewhere all day, leaving me home alone to play music *without* having to wear headphones
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And Starbucks will use the words 'large' and 'small', not pretentious crap like grande and tall.

Sitting on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs, leaned against the wall.

Posted: 1/4/07 at 6:19amBack when I used to come home from college on school breaks not having seen my dog in a good while, walking inside, her tail wagging, me lying myself flat on the tile and letting her jump all over me and kiss my face.

Singing songs around a campfire.
Making smores.
