The Little Things #8

by Julie @savvyeats on January 21, 2010

Today has been kind of an ‘ick’ day…which means that it is the perfect day to share some more ‘Little Things That Make Me Happy!’

1. My new friend broke today. That is not the little thing making me happy. What is making me happy is that it is under warranty, and shall therefore be replaced soon!

Thank you for the 18-month warranty, Cuisinart.

2. Because I can no longer make my own nut butter or hummus until the replacement comes, and because I need some “fight off this cold” supplies, I got to make a trip to Trader Joe’s today!

“Beat this cold” supplies:

“Temporary replacement for new friend” supplies:

Um… “hope these make your appetite come back” supplies?:

3. While out at Trader Joe’s, I also stopped by the library to pick up some books I had on hold. There were a lot of them, and they fit in my laptop bag perfectly. Perfectly.

4. Also, have I mentioned how much I love my laptop bag?

One of my only Lululemon goodies, but so worth it. I love that it is meant to be both a laptop and gym bag! And that it is pink. That part’s pretty cool.

5. This has been making me laugh all day:

6. The Madison blogger meet-up has been scheduled! We are going to Harvest for Madison Restaurant Week. I’ve been dying to try this place! (If you are in the Madison area and want to come along, let me know!)

7. I won a case of Chobani by playing Spoons today. Case of honey Chobani headed my way! Yippee!

And remember, if you want to win a multi-flavor pack of Chobani for yourself, enter my giveaway!

What little things are making YOU happy today?

a) i wish i lived in madison still (again)
b) Please report back with a review on the concious cook – its on my “wish list” (aka christmas list moving over)
c) still have not found Oikos of chocolate or carmel flavorings – but i did find a few other flavors/yogurts i wanted to try. INCLUDING regular stoneyfield chocolate which i have never had. So i bought one and i plan to eat it with your YUMMMMMMY granola. wont that be a PERFECT BLEND?

I love that bag, it is so cute and definitely does not look like a gym or laptop bag!

My workout made me happy today because I finally felt like I was improving on getting faster running. Also, I attempted to cook tonight (this is a new learning experience for me) and it actully turned out pretty good!

Hey Julie, I don’t know if you remember me, but I think we went to high school together lol. I’m Tony. Weird right? I love the laptop bag, and I love TJs. They just opened one up in Minnetonka, right next to ridgedale.

That peanut butter is hands down my favorite peanut butter EVER! I always make sure I have a “back-up” jar on hand for when I run out.

Also, your bag is adorable, and that flow-chart made me lol!

Hi! I am a new reader and I love your site. I just read your “About” page and it’s so exciting that you’re getting married soon! Yay! Oh, and I’ve never tried the Valencia PB from TJ’s, but I’ve always wanted to, so maybe next time I get over there, I’ll have to pick some up. :)
