Tuesday Ten

Ten Small Comforts (thanks for the inspiration, Artsyville)

1. My chunky, fuzzy, Iceland socks
2. When my hair looks good and not too fluffy
3. Diet Coke in a cup with a straw from the drive-through McDonald's
4. A game of Scrabble or cards
5. Beautiful blue scenery pictures*
6. Snugs with Mr Z
7. A deep and bubbly bath
8. Gin and a nap - the ultimate cure-all (this will be the title of my memoirs)
9. Thank yous and compliments from students
10. Cake. Even pictures of cake is enough.

* I am so very sad Google made the personalised images on their homepage go away. I had a beautiful blue picture of Tahoe. Every time I opened a new browser window I sighed with a little more calmness than before. Why are Google always getting rid of the features I use?

I sort of miss daily blogging, but when I rolled into bed at 10pm last night I did say to Mr Z, "I am SO glad I am not blogging every day this month!" Sometimes it is just too much to be able to write a little something. But I am pleased I managed to complete NaBloPoMo (even though I am Interna really) for the third year running. Hope it didn't get too dull.

Also - this is my hundredth Tuesday Ten post!

McDonalds has the VERY BEST Coke!! It's like they have the inside on an extra-special formula or something :) Congrats on your posts of 10 milestone, too :)

Sally, good going on the blogging every day. I have to commend you because I tried it once...and also still do it for National Poetry Month in April.
Great list! Apparently I need to find some Iceland sox : )

I so hear you. I blogged every day in October (unofficially, I didn't do it in conjunction with anything) and it was wonderful but hard! Congrats for doing it!

And I want to do a poem a day in April, for Poetry month. It's on the list. This is quite an accomplishment as well!

This is a wonderful list.

I am also so sad that the home-page image went away--I had a striking picture of my husband that brought me a little twinge of joy and love every time I saw it.
