1) Another dog, happy and warm and loved, saved from the shelter, and going to live a long life with a good family. Daisy, a small basset hound mix, a lover and snuggler:

2) Clean Sheets

3) Bananas

4) My father-in-law. Today is his birthday. He was my art history professor and advisor while I was in college, so I've known him a couple years longer than I've known my husband. He tells good stories, even if he does ramble some, and he really appreciates having an art-lover for a daughter-in-law, because I actually enjoy his long winded tangents about artists and such.

5) A night to myself, watching my favorite shows, eating brownies and ice cream. Other than the barking dogs, it was very peaceful, and I feel a bit recharged, like I just had a mini-weekend.
