simple smiles #6 & meme!

You know when you blow your nose a ridiculous amount of times and then you get a red raw nose and then skin starts to flake off? Yeah, I hate that and I have it right now. (Way to start off your 'simple smile' blog entry with some positivy, Nikolett)! It's yet another workweek for me, but my simple smile for this week comes from 1) you lovely people who told me about my comments messing up (I made it pop-up, I hope it works now!); and 2) from this weekend and the times that I spend with The Boy. He really cheered me up from a week of sickness and school.

First off, I love our random conversations:
HIM: So I was going pretty fast, just like the Transporter --
ME: Unf, he's so hot.
HIM: B-but ... he's bald!
ME: But he's got the swagger, and the accent, and the muscles --
HIM: But he's bald!
ME: That's ok with me!
HIM: Would you like it if I said Britney Spears was hot?
ME: But ... she's not anymore. She's past her prime.
HIM: What about Catherine Zeta-Jones?
ME: But she's an older woman!
HIM: But she's hot.
ME: Yeah. She is. I'll give you that.
HIM: *can't think of a comeback*
ME: Don't worry, you're hotter than the Transporter.
HIM: *beams with joy*

Second, I love our simple joys. Tickling each other on my front lawn like 5-year old kids, and then going on a road trip to a lake for some fishing. There we got caught in a rainstorm while the sun was still shining, which was beautiful.

Such bizarre weather ... followed by cuddling!


Delish!

Plus, we had a yummy picnic complete with macaroons, so I had to incorporate that into the recipe of the week, fool! ... Um, sorry. :D

In other news, the lovely Chere tagged me in a MeMe! The rules: the rules: Share 7 things about me and then pass this award on to 7 bloggers! Here goes!

1) I'm left-handed ... my Father, to this day, keeps reminiscing about the fact that I refused to switch over to being right-handed, but I'm sticking with my original writing hand even though there aren't many perks associated with it -- except being more creative? Yay, me!

2) I've read the Harry Potter series at least 15 times, save for the last two books (4 times each). On another note, I love re-watching and re-reading things, looking for all those little details I missed the first eighteen times around, haha.

3) By the way, I'm seeing "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" tomorrow at midnight, after a day of work from 7am-2pm, practicing Shakespeare from 4pm-7pm, and night class from 7pm-9pm. Craziness tomorrow!

4) I think I swallowed a cold/flu-preventative pill incorrectly and now I keep feeling like it's caught in my throat and I keep feeling as though I have to burp. Appetizing!

5) I officially have $0.10 on my cell phone right now -- which, incidentally, is pretty much the worse cell phone ever, haha.

6) When I was little, I used to hop onto the top of my couch and pretend it was a balance beam and do 'gymnastics', and spin around on my tiled floor pretending I was a figure skater. In reality, I am no athlete!

7) I'm so thankful for all of you that I've met through this blog. I never imagined I'd meet such amazing people out there, that I love to read on a daily basis :)

Random, cheesy, and very 'me' facts; I'm sharing this with Aubrey; josie(bean); Notes From The Tooth Fairy; Girl With The Golden Touch; bananas.; Sarah; Kym, and Y-O-U if you haven't done it already!

Now I've gotta ask:
- What made your weekend? and
- Who is that special someone who is always able to make you smile?

Hope you've had a fabulous start to the week -- if not, there's a few more days to make it better!r
