I love the feeling inside me that wells up when I find something that I just adore. It makes me so happy to think about or be with that thing. Is that a little twisted?

Prime Now   The Captain got me Amazon Prime for Christmas, and our area participates in Prime Now. {affiliate}  You can get groceries (mostly packaged, but some fresh) delivered for free right to your door that same day, usually within 2 hours.

Spring is coming! Hallelujah!  I like snow, but I like sunlight past 6 PM much more.

I would say Downton Abbey, but I am mad at them. They abandoned me.

On that heartwrenching note, I’d love to know if there is anything that has captured your heart lately! And please tell me I’m not alone in becoming attached to things vs. people. Cool notebooks don’t come with baggage.

Come share your thoughts with me.
