The lovely Arielle - who I get to see regularly, a true blessing – tagged me to share six things that have made me happy recently. (and hey, did you ever answer the questions I made? I’m left hanging not knowing who your favorite member of N’Sync is, and why, grin)

1 - Getting to see The It Girl tonight with a friend, after a dinner out eating Indian Food. I'm very excited.

2 – Xavier, my reluctant reader, getting into The Edge Chronicles. He also has to read a Historical Fiction, and I got The Emperor’s Winding Sheet. for him. As usual, I can’t wait until he’s done so I can read it.

3 – speaking of, getting my hands on a copy of Katherine by Anya Seton. Did you know she was Chaucer’s Sister-in-law? I’m knee deep in 14th Century England, yay!

4 – Cedric took the PSAT on Saturday, and felt he did well.

5 – Eddie has had a couple of good interviews and feels good about his job prospects, thank you for your continued prayers.

6 – It is a beautiful sunny, crisp Autumn Day.

So, play along and let me know what made you smile recently.

They’re good, but not good for you – so said the sweet Philippa’s mom in my note yesterday that arrived with a package of the Philadelphia delicacy, Tastykakes. As on Philippa’s Food Meme, she mentioned them, and I mentioned that I’d never seen or had them. That has now been rectified by this sweet package, and the entire family enjoyed! Thanks Philippa’s mom! You rock! Yum!

(I’m realizing clearly I need to move to Pennsylvania, they also are where Peeps are made)
