favorite things

Folks were mighty generous to me this Christmas, much more so than I feel deserving of. I received a number of super gifts, but this one in particular I thought you'd all get a big kick out of...

I was too nervous to pack this in my oversized suitcase for fear of the glass breaking, so had to snap a quick pic with my phone before handing it off to B's mama for mailing. This really doesn't do it justice, but I'll be sure to post a more clear image when it arrives safely at my door!

Behold, my "death row day" of choice (please note that is just what me and my sicko brain are calling it, and not the artist's words...she more appropriately coins these "Favorite Things"): 

• Milkshakes and fries are the comfiest of my comfort foods. Am I dunking? Then the shake is a black & white (vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce mixed in -- an NJ diner classic). Am I keeping them separate? Mint chocolate chip for the win. The fries are slightly crispy on the outside, with just enough salt to make the combo send me into a shoulder shaking happy dance.
  

• The Golden Girls...well, if you read this blog at all...need no explanation. I'd ask for them to be on loop, preferably my favorite episodes, though I guess if I'm on death row I likely don't have much of a say in the specifics. I'll take them any way I can, officer! Dorothy & Sophia are Aubs and my favorites. This is how we see ourselves in 40 years or so.
  

• And my Sage, who is the dreamiest kitty in all the land, with her tiny paws and chubby belly, and who I miss all the time, but breath easier with deep gratitude knowing the immense love and snuggles my parents shower her with daily.
  

Best Friend of the Year points for days, amirite?

Do your bff a favor by checking out the artist's page on Etsy, called Roaring Softly, ASAP!! Her work is so awesome, including all of the non-custom drawings that speak to my Mindy Project, Harry Potter and Parks & Recs loving soul. I kind of want to be her friend. And by kind of, I mean really. But let's keep that between us.


Happy shopping!


love and light,

Trish
