  • Sleep. I’ve mentioned this many times, but like someone said to me “You don’t know tired until you have a baby”.
  • Sleeping Abby. Then I can do normal things like eat and shower.
  • Sunny days. Wellington had some wintery days recently but touch wood that the summer weather has finally arrived and here to stay (for at least the rest of the summer).
  • Remembering to charge my laptop and phone before it’s too late.
  • Green Day. I’m an old school fan from the 90s with all their albums and I still love listening to them.
  • Sandwiches. Love sandwiches.
  • Fez not farting at night. We have him in our room and waking up to a silent-but-violent is not cool!
  • The husband feeding me chocolate ice cream as I blog.

  • Lazy weekends
  • Pink grapefruit juice. I could never have grapefruit juice while on the pill so this is one thing I’m taking advantage of while pregnant.
  • Watching Fez sleep. He’s the cutest when he’s fast asleep, snoring and having puppy dreams
  • Good yum char
  • Nanna naps
  • Sunny summery weather in Spring
  • Knowing this is my last week of work!
  • Making cakes. I made Ms Constantine’s birthday cake and it was so satisfying to see the finished product all pretty and ready for surprising (though I’m terrible at surprises).
  • I also love eating said cake

  • Being pregnant. Ok, so I whinge alot about it, and will whinge even more later, but it’s a magical feeling knowing that you have created a little human being that will look somewhat like you and your husband.
  • Cupcakes. That’s a no-brainer. I’ve bought myself another two trays making four all together. Perhaps it’s time to make a living out of them… maybe.
  • Booth’s line on Bones: Bones. She’s not a real masseuse. She’s a, you know, ‘happy ending’ masseuse. I wouldn’t have got the joke if it wasn’t for the conversation about this in the Gold Coast the other week. Awesome.
  • Fez. So he pees everywhere and emits funky smells, but besides that he’s pretty cool and we love him to bits.

  • My husband. He has lots of patience putting up with a pregnant woman. Thanks darling.
  • Snuggling in blankies on the couch watching movies.
  • Hot cross buns. Tried some Ten O’Clock ones and they really do live up to expectations.
  • Awesome dreams. Like superhero ones where I have powers! :)
  • Being warm. The heat coming from my laptop is actually nice this time of year.
  • Having more than three hours uninterrupted sleep.
  • Fez learning new tricks. Lying down is his latest one.
  • The smell of food making me hungry. Then again I’m always hungry. Then again, I’m pregnant. Leave me alone!

  • My shiny new iPod Nano in bright pink. What’s even better is that the hubby got it for me using our Fly Buys points. Yay-ah.
  • Finding my creative streak again and the motivation to create!
  • Having my Etsy shop to showcase my cupcake paintings (and perhaps make a little something extra).
  • Wearing slippers. For a while it was too hot to wear anything warm on your feet when you got home, but I love wearing slippers. The cushiness, warmth, comfort and the fact they keep your feet and socks off those unmopped floors…
  • Hot chips. Lately I’ve had more than my share of chips, wedges and curly fries. No regrets! Yet.
  • Wedding/anniversary cake. It’s still *really* good.

  • Good movies like Slumdog Millionaire and Gran Torino. Hard to find sometimes, so I enjoy them when I do!
  • Having time to blog. It’s been so busy lately I haven’t had much time to sit and be creative. Sometimes I wish I didn’t have a day job…
  • Long weekends. Even better when it’s because of statutory holidays.
  • New season corn – fresh from the garden is best. I can’t wait to harvest ours.
  • Alice. Alice? Who the f*ck is Alice? The awesome sister in law who posted me some single coloured sprinkles – that’s who!

  • Free pool at JJs on Thursdays. I didn’t know about this regular feature until last week. It’s awesome.
  • Free stuff in general is also awesome. Did I mention the cookies I got?
  • Sleeping in. Harder to do when it’s so nice in the mornings. Snooze, dream, wake up, repeat.
  • Second-hand stores. Not the ponsy ones that overcharge for everything. I’m talking about the ones where the cheap prices make up for the peculiar smell of the place.
  • Sangria on the deck. Anything  juicy and cold on the deck on a hot day – I luff.
  • Enjoying the two flowers on my orchid while they last.
  • Mussels at the Leuven Belgian Beer Cafe – for $18.90 you can get a kilo pot of delicious mussels and frites, a meal large enough to share between two.
  • Griffin’s Cameo Cremes. One of my childhood favourites that I still love, though now with a cup of tea and a snuggle with the hubby :D
