- no more reasons to go to the mall (ever again)
- knowing you are giving exactly the right gift
- movies that make you laugh hard enough to have to rewind
- finding a cute outfit for the HS reunion
- the fact that days are getting longer
- the temperature being closer to 40 than 30
- an exciting new grant writing partnership
- good friends home for the holidays, safe and healthy
- coffee & soy milk
- the anticipation of a long weekend at my parents house, Christmas cookies
- a healthy 2007
- an excuse to make (new year’s) resolutions
