In Praise of Pink--Again

Never tried them, but want to--
though this pink passion does not mesh with savings attempts,
renewed commitment to track spending in special notebook.
Saw this treat at Williams-Sonoma the other day.

I feel like writing about my favorite color. I have a hot pink highlighter in front of me, and it really cheers me up and cheers me on as I track my daily spending [I like to highlight the total in pink] or review notes for an article.

Just checked--turns out I listed some of my favorite pink things about a year ago here. Well, I'm doing it again, because it lifts my spirit. I hope it lifts yours, too.

1. Cherry trees [like the one in Kim's yard].
2. Magnolias.
3. Azaleas.
4. Hyacinths, with their heady scent.
5. Lilly Pulitzer iPad cover. [I don't have an iPad, but I'd love one, and then I'd love to cover it with the iPad case I saw in the store today when I stopped in for Lilly file folders.]
6. Moleskine notebooks.
7. Scrubby sponges.
8. Zinfandel.
9. Charbonnel et Walker Pink Marc de Champagne Truffles.
10. Easter eggs.
11. Figgy's mini quilted Chanel-like purse that Moey gave her when she was a little girl; Punch plays with it now.
12. Pink grapefruits [the idea of them, not really to buy and eat them].

Good night, sweet dreams.

TCOY

1. Threw out rest of PB chocolate Easter egg. It was only mediocre, so that wasn't so hard.
2. Smoothed Jo Malone Bath Oil on damp skin after shower.
3. Laced up sneakers and walked to dentist, CVS and Private Benjamin--more than 1 hour walking total. Built in time to do this, rather than drive.
4. Dentist appointment spurred me on to stop at CVS for mouthwash and new Tom's of Maine Wicked Fresh! Spearmint Ice toothpaste.
5. Walked Sug around block once.
6. Falafel on pita for dinner; yum. We didn't have anything good in the house, so thought ahead.
7. Ice water.
8. Nap.
9. Organized my workload. It helps to face the music.
