"I've got my babies back, babies back, babies back..."

These past couple weeks, A was in Grand Junction and Bishop was in Wray, so I kept company with Broom, Vacuum, and Pledge. Surprisingly, they're alright guys, and cleaning house with them was nice. I discovered that, without my boys around to distract me, I noticed a lot more and took pleasure in my small observations. I thought I'd share a few with you in hopes that they give you pelasure, too :)

1. a clean and shiny kitchen countertop.

2. the giddy-like feeling of putting things in order.

3. decorative tassels. on a doorknob. on a lamp. on a drawer pull. on my neck...

 4. a full wine rack :)

5. freshly vacuumed carpets.

6. smelling burning incense from rooms away.
7. a cabinet full of mismatched coffee mugs. like these badasses...
