things that are making me happier than they should be, because I am having a severely mediocre day

The postman recognizes me! I guess I've been sitting on the front porch when he comes often enough that he recognized me walking down the sidewalk back to my house and handed me our mail. Thank you, Mr Regular Mail Guy! <3 Someday I shall give you cookies or a scarf or something.

I think I might be starting to understand how cooking works! What spices go with what legumes go with what vegetables and all that. Hooray! \o/

My Hello Kitty notebook, which I am saving for Chinese this fall. It has an embossed cover with Hello Kittys and bows and pink on it, and a ribbon bookmark with a little plastic slightly squishy Hello Kitty on the end. And all the pages have at least one Hello Kitty on them. SO CUTE. It totally makes up for the lack of a ring binding!

I've started plotting out bits of Knife & Ink again! More specifically, the one where Yue and Zuko adopt a toddler.

So far, I'm two for three on 750words! Must try and get an earlier start on that, I've ended up going to bed half an hour late each time.

I kind of want adorable Hello Kitty everything.

HELLO KIIIIIITY!

My mother surprised me with Hello Kitty WALL DECALS yesterday. There are, like, 50 of them, so I can put them everywhere! (I also have a Hello Kitty toaster which toasts her face in things if the bread is light enough).

There was also a Hello Kitty made of some kind of jewels that sold for $15,000 to benefit tsunami survivors.

Those sound ADORABLE. Are you spreading them out all over the place or sticking them all in one centralized location? (Is it better to have two Hello Kitties in every room, or to have one place where you can be COMPLETELY SURROUNDED by the cute?)

And ooh, I want that toaster.
