What I Get Excited About These Days…

Thursday, May 7, 2026

Today’s post is a mix between a “Friday Favorites” and a gratitude list. Of course, I get excited about the truly deep meaningful parts of life, but I thought I would talk about the little things in life.

The magic of flowers blooming again and taking photos of them- it never gets old.

A fresh Chobani creamer and finding a new good flavor. I can’t help it. I like my frothy creamer. It gets me out of bed. This new s’mores is good!

A new podcast episode release of…

Watch What Crappens – Hosts Ben and Ronnie make fun of the Bravo shows and I am literally doubled over laughing

Tuesday Night Date Night

Big Boo Cast

A magazine in the mail – even though they are dinky and mostly ads now

An alert that new library requests have come in for me – I like to have a large stack of options for free! Isn’t the library great?

A really well made cocktail

A great candle that burns great and isn’t headache inducing

Clean laundry and seeing it all folded nicely – still using B and B Moonlit Goddess

A sunny day with a light breeze

Spring rain

Making my dog happy by saying it’s time to walk

A great pad of paper and a great pen – my favorite brand of pen is Tul from Amazon

Getting to play Mah Jong

Cute napkins and plates

When I make something good and a little fancy like a quiche

What is something you get excited about these days?

Great list! It is sad that magazines have become full of ads. I don’t get any anymore but I used to look forward to receiving the ones that I did. Enjoying spring rain and nice sunny days surely are enjoyable things about this season :). The quiche looks good! I feel good about making homemade crust for things like quiche and chicken pot pie but the bad thing about making my own crust is that I can’t make it look really good with the edges pressed just so. My joy has to come from knowing I made it and how good it tastes :).
