So on this fine Thursday I was painting my toenails and thinking...gosh there are some things that no matter how many times they occur they always bring me joy. Below are some of the most recent things that I have encountered.
1. Just looking at these boots makes me giddy... cause I am the owner of them. I have never owned a pair of tall boots. Call me crazy or out of fashion, either one I have my reasons. I look at the price tag of boots that I love and I just can't pull myself to buy them. I think, "For the price of one pair of boots I could buy 2-3 pairs of shoes...that is gratification 3 times over." I finally gave in because I had a gift card to Nordstrom and it eased the pain just a little. I just can't wait to wear them. I would wear them today, but I think I might get funny looks cause it is 100 degrees outside. Just an FYI, I am pretty sure that this picture does not give these boots justice..they are just plain hot in person!
2. So this cartoon basically sums up how I feel when my toenails are painted..and let me be honest, my toenails are always painted. So I am a little OCD about my toenails. If they are chipping or too long I have to get out my manicure set and repaint them. This is not a pain, but I actually find it very therapeutic to give myself a pedicure. Don't get me wrong I love getting a good pedicure, but they don't always last long because of my OCD. 
3. I can't tell you how excited I get to get my hair done. I have had hundreds of haircuts, but it never gets monotonous. This last time I was prepared when I went in. I had been to the book store and bought a $6.00 hair magazine (don't judge me) and marked all the ones that I liked. I am all about changing my hair. I get tired of the same old boring thing, so I always ask for something new. I was in Utah last week and I got my haircut it had been a few months and it was driving me crazy. My hairdresser talked me into going dark purple. It's pretty punk rocker and different, so I love it.
4. Down here in Arizona I have some spare time on my hands so I get to indulge in reading. I have always loved reading, but it is the one thing that gets pushed to the back when I am really busy. Right now I am reading Kite Runner it is an excellent book. I am averaging about a book a week down here, it's pretty awesome. I just love to go into a different state of mind and be like a kid again and imagine what the places and people are like that I am reading about. It is definitely a simple pleasure.

I would agree with all your simple pleasures, but I would add one, a nice cold diet coke, especially after the kids are asleep. So now I need a picture of the new hair...I wish I had the guts to go purple, what do you think Tyler would say?
Ok.....can't make a post like this about your hair and not post a pic!!!! Wanna see! Do it, Do it, Do it!!
First of all- I'm pretty sure that I paid for some of those boots. AM I RIGHT? Aren't you glad you have such cool sister-in-laws that throw you a Nordy card? Too bad they aren't open-toed boots to see your toes, now they will chip! :)
i want to see your new hair! i chopped all of mine off again and i love it. after you read the kite runner you should read a thousand splendid suns by khaled hosseini- it was such an incredible story!!
Those boots are hot! And no, the picture does not do them justice. And where the heck is the pic of your purple hair?
