Post-vacation withdrawal and a rough sort of day needs to be countered with something good. 

So here are ten things that make me happy today:

1.) Another seasonal Hello Kitty 

(summer + watermelon = perfect!)

2.) replays from the U.S. women’s soccer quarterfinal 

(pure awesomeness!) 

3.) Abundance of fresh summer fruit 

(strawberries, blueberries and peaches, oh my!)

4.) Pepe LePew Keepsake Ornament for 2011 

(thanks, Mom)

5.) Casual week at work this week 

(115 degree heat index – boo)

6.) New yoga studio down the street 

(see #7)

7.) Having the courage to try something new 

(see #6)

8.) My new neighbor’s bulldog, Meatball 

(coolest dog in the neighborhood)

9.) My friend Amy’s card that came in the mail today 

(CUTEness!)

and

10.) Another vacation is coming at the end of the month 

(makes it allll worthwhile, baby)
