TiLT: Things i Love Thursday

How did it get to be Thursday already? I was just whinging to Clara five minutes ago about how it was Monday again! Oh well, at least I can't say things have been slow! Tempus Fugit & such! :) 


This week I've decided to write out a list of things I'm grateful for. TiLT, or Things i Love Thursday is something I've posted here before, and felt compelled to compile a new list of things that have made me smile or otherwise cheered me up this week. I hope you enjoy & share something that has uplifted your spirits as well! 

♥ Movie outings with Clara! ♥ Sharing meals with the parental units. ♥ Playing Quake during breaks. Even if it means cheating a little bit to get more points. ♥ Cranking up Grace Potter & The Nocturnals in the studio while I work. ♥ Having a place to go and art whenever I want. ♥ Old jeans covered in splatters and torn in odd places. ♥ Having an older/wiser person tell you that you're "cool". ♥ Plotting out ways to fulfill my Summer Adventures! ♥ New stories brewing in the back of my mind. (You'll love them! Just you wait!) ♥ Getting things straightened out with my insurance! (Adult things! *gasp!*) ♥ Helena Bonham Carter Hair Days. ♥ The very fact that tomorrow is Friday! (Weeee!) ♥ Recurring dreams of punching annoying & aggravating persons in the forehead. Strangely cathartic.♥ Gummi worms. ♥ Accidental Gardening! ♥ Fresh yellow peppers as a result of said Accidental Gardening. ♥ Videos of Native American pow wow dancing! ♥All things Neil Gaiman. ♥ Abusing my library card. ♥ Being able to rent movies for free from the art guild. ♥ Inside jokes! (Always!) ♥ Fun ideas for future projects (Stay Tuned!) ♥ Chocolate. ♥ Chocolate. ♥ Chocolate... & Coffee. ♥ Swimming pools that stay open late in the evening. ♥ People who absolutely refuse to give up on you. ♥ People who have the unique ability to make you smile, give you butterflies, & calm you down all at once.♥

What's made you happy this week?
