What a beauty, right? Last week I went to one of my favorite Nashville events: The American Artisan Festival. It was there I met Amelia Stamps and picked up this lovely piece. You can see more of her work here: http://www.ameliastamps.com/
A couple weeks ago, I was crowned. Not the kind where I become queen and gain the authority to rid people of their heads. More like the kind where my Prince Charming is a dentist armed with numerous needles and high-pitched torture devices. He does the drilling, I do the drooling. It's not a healthy relationship, but we're working through it.
Did I mention that all of that pain and suffering (not to mention all of my woe-is-me theatrics) was only for the temporary crown? You can imagine I was a little more than anxious heading in for my permanent yesterday. To bring me happy thoughts during my dreaded time in the reclining chair, I compiled a mental list of all of my favorite things. Thought I 'd share 'em with you.
How could this little girl not be on my faves list? I can't bear to fold the towel laundry and disturb this sweet baby.
Well, all of that ramping up and stressing out was for nothing, thankfully. I walked in, had the temporary tweezered out (yes, with tweezers. I coulda done that), the permanent snapped on and was given a lecture on the merits of flossing. No shots, no numbness, no pain. If I could categorize my dental visits, I'd say that one was my favorite.
One last favorite: This dress I scored at Forever 21 (I'm pretty sure they are going to start checking my ID soon. 21, I am not). It was a pinch too short so I added the eyelet at the bottom and a pinch too busty, ahem, so I took in the chest area. And paired it with a new belt, of course. I look all solemn and what not. Probably thinking about the repercussions of not flossing on a daily basis.
Here's hoping that your day is full of your favorite things!

Another American Artisan purchase, this time for mom-in-law's birthday. She's a big bird watcher and I couldn't resist picking this up for her. Ceramics has definitely become one of my favorite things, both to work with and admire.

Favorite things that are consumed daily...when not all numbed up: Tabasco Sauce, La Croix Berry sparking water, Peanut Butter Ginger Chews, cherries and coffee by The Rogue Roaster.
The last time I was at the dentist, I was so numbed up, I couldn't eat a thing. I was on the a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch and a sensible (liquefied) dinner diet plan. When I'm not drooling on myself, I am usually eating these new faves. I go throw food phases where I'll eat the same thing over and over until I tire of it. Kind of like listening to a favorite song over too many times. However, I don't see myself tiring of these favorite yummies.
