cloudbursts on curly pinks and goatees on lions

Here are just a few things in the world that delight me:

1. dogs that walk themselves
2. brioche
3. hipbones
4. raisins
5. hem
6. just making a train
7. plaid (the word, not the design)
8. story people
9. President Obama
10. the feeling of sudafed kicking in
11. the heffalumpish sound I made when I fell down on the escalator*
12. the dog this morning with legs barely longer than the two inches of accumulated snow that was bounding through the drift like he was a husky in the tundra
13. whatever they're cooking downstairs
14. clean sheets
15. moments of improvisational genius when the world just feels right

*I didn't enjoy falling down the escalator; that hurt. But the "oomphf" that escaped me (quite loudly, in fact) was entertaining. And not sexy.

Oh, and new underwear! I forgot that one, and it's particularly delightful when they fit, since you don't get to try them on!

I cannot believe crock pots did not make the list!
