10 on Tuesday

Ten of my favorite things right now ... in no particular order ...

















  1. The Christmas Tree - I love the twinkle of the lights and would leave them on 24/7 if Matt didn't object. So instead it's about 16/7 :P.
  2. Collapsible Basket (pictured above) - This was a splurge about a month ago. I have used it every single day since it arrived. I *heart* it ... I call it my new best friend. It sits next to our entryway bench (and is cute enough to leave out) and holds everything I need to take to the car. I put coupons I might need, lists, library returns, mail, etc. It works the same way coming back into the house ... holding items I've purchased while running errands, the mail I lazily grab curbside after picking up E from school, etc, etc. It really is the best and worth the money. If someone knows of a less expensive but equally durable model please let me know!
  3. I've been addicted to Tostitos Multigrain Chips. I *think* I may have had them 3x last week with grated colby on top, toasted under the broiler and then dipped in salsa. Poorman's nachos maybe? :D
  4. Watching the Season 1 of Brothers & Sisters. I got hooked on this show starting with Season 2, so I'm catching up on the first season while sewing :).
  5. FiberOne cereals ... a favorite thing, really? Yes, sad I know, but I've been having them daily for over a month now and while it might be coincidence, I've shed a few pounds. And I'm a happier girl, will leave it at that :P.
  6. Sewing for "fun" or at least for me instead of customers. I just finished my first batch of scarves from my "scarf along."
  7. Slippers ... I love these slippers of mine, but they are almost 2 years old ... hoping I find a new pair under the tree.
  8. Getting happy mail from my bestie with "Hollywood Smut" (aka People & US Weekly).
  9. Christmas reading.
  10. My relatively clean house (at least as of Monday it was).
Christmas happenings - Candycane Sugar Cookies & Sugar Cookies were made/baked today. Too many cookies and too much dough was consumed by E and I :).


Happy Tuesday!

What a fun list! I'm only slightly disappointed that a basket has replaced me. If I get one, we'll call it even... xoxo

Tee hee - we have one of those baskets on our registry. Look out, Jess!

You already know I'm getting one of those baskets because they're awesome! I did find some at Bed Bath & Beyond but they only come in solid colors. Pretty colors but I like the patterns better.
I got new slippers for my birthday and I love them! As much as I loved my old ones (that were as old as Garrett I think!) the new ones are awesome!
And thank you for sharing your Christmas reads! :)

So fun! It's a good thing Matt works 40+ hrs a week so he doesn't know exactly how long the lights are on!
Always fun reading your posts!

looks like you've taken over my tuesday 10. I haven't done one in a couple of weeks. My mom has a couple of those baskets and uses them at the store when she just needs a few things. I have about 8 zillion tote bags...wonder if I can justify a basket too?
