Chili & Cornbread

Today's Beautiful Thing is a pot of chili simmering on the stove and golden cornbread baking in the oven. The house smells like chili peppers, garlic, tomato & onions. Nom!

Tickled Pink

Today's Beautiful Thing is the pink leather jacket my hubby got me for Christmas. I'm not really a pink person, but the jacket (along with the soft pink scarf my mom bought me for Christmas) really brightens my spirits. How can I possibly be unhappy dressed in pink? :)

Rainy Outings

Today's Beautiful Thing is running around in the rain with the hubby after a long workweek. He loves the rain and I've learned to love it too. We always feel so carefree on nights like these.

Breakfast for Dinner

Today's Beautiful Thing is having eggs, sausage and waffles for dinner. Sometimes breakfast for dinner is so comforting.

Silver & Gold

Today's Beautiful Thing is finding old friends. First, M found me, and the two of us searched for S. It took a long time, but M finally found her today. And we talked on the phone tonight. Yay!

Why the picture of nails, you ask? Because S used to always have her nails done and I don't have a pic of S. I love these nails and I'm sure S would too.

Bonus Beautiful Thing: M is coming for a visit at the end of the month and S is going to try to come too. It will be so cool if it all works out!

I've Got the Power

Today's Beautiful Thing is electricity. Oh, how we take it for granted! The power went out tonight and we didn't know what to do with ourselves. Bubblebaths by candlelight are nice, but not much else is.

I Will Follow

Today's Beautiful Thing is having a blog follower! I've been at this blog three years now, but never added the Follower gadget. I don't know why; I just never did. When I signed in today, I saw that my friend Angie is now following me and you can too, if you like. Cool, huh? Now I'm following Angie too. Cheers!
