ReplyDeleteExtra sleep, no swimsuit anxiety,
ReplyDeleteI pick number 8.
ReplyDeleteSleeping late; which I didn't do because of the hail storm.
ReplyDeleteI vote for #'s 11 and 17. And I have a nice Tiffany lamp that's actually an Agnes lamp, because she made it for me. And only a boor would criticize someone else's dancing.
ReplyDeleteGoing barefoot? Can people really do that sort of thing?
ReplyDeleteI MUST have my cup of coffee in the morning. It's more than a pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know that you can stop and smell the roses or portulacas.
