Three things that made me happy this weekend

Getting my husband to eat brussel sprouts, after I made a recipe from Barefoot in Paris. Oh, thank you Ina Garten, he has refused to eat them for 12 years until now. (Bacon was involved in cooking, which was the convincing element to try.)

Find a pair of jeans for $30 that fit like a glove. Yes, it's the small things.

Walking side by side with my husband, our daughter on her little bike next to us (with the princess helmet, but of course), near the water, on a windless not too chilly fall day, blackberry off. Ahhh...

Now the hard part - motivating to get to work!
