My most favorite word in the English language is ‘glee’ – closely followed by ‘puddle’. When I visualize ‘GLEE’, I always picture something leaky, sparkly, slightly gross and most definitely pink. Like this!

Here is what’s making me feel extra-gleeful this week!

  • Irregular Choice shoes
    Can I just marry Danny Sullivan already?! I am obsessed with his designs and would probably buy every single pair out there, if I could find a way to silence the voice of reason within me.
  • Writing my husband secret love notes (no, not about my secret wishes to marry Danny)
    and hiding them inside the cereal box.
  • Beating all the toddlers to the only empty swing on the playground
    and swinging as high as I can, pretending to paint the sky with my toes. Betcha can’t do that, little buggers!
  • My persian cat’s wirey whiskers!
    They curl up and stick all the way forward, like this:

  • Discovering a new Russian restaurant with a funny name over the weekend.
    ‘Chert Poberi!’ means ‘Damn It!’ in Russian. Haha.
  • Chocolate Zoom magazine
    For all the chocolate lovers! Carmen, one of the contributors, is the mastermind behind the NY Chocolate Tours – on which I went last year and it left me feeling more fabulous than Coco Chanel in a rose petal bath!
  • Ooh, rose petal baths!

  • Catching up with my friends and sis over a cupcake-baking session
    … and kicking the boys out of the kitchen until we’re completely done!
  • Making this blog an awesome, funny, positive place where awesome people exchange positive emotions.
    I’ve been blogging on LiveJournal since 2003 and finally decided it was time to move on and start a blog on my own terms! ;)

So, Deerlings, what’s making YOUR heart overflow with glee today?
