It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
1. Hot apple cider 2. Gonna agree with @NYTino24 on the fast Amazon shipping. I especially love ordering something late at night and still getting my package in 2 days vs ordering at a time where the clock doesn't start till the next day. 3. Flannel sheets, cuz cotton sheets feel like ice now 4. DH 5. Also Amazon video. I added a whole bunch of stuff to our watch list. We might actually use it more besides our Netflix subscription 6. Bonefish Grill's 3 course lobster meal deal being ALL MONTH LONG this month 7. A car that warms up fast, also heated seats 8. My cat, when she's had her nails trimmed 9. Sweaters 10. My cute booties
