Lovely Claire from Accidentally, Kle (do check out her wonderful blog) tagged me a few days ago. I'm supposed to name six (un)important things that make me happy. So, here it is...
Doing comedy routines with my husband - the favourite one is The Three Stooges. Husband plays Curly and I am Moe - the cat is supposed to play Larry - we are still auditioning for the right cat.
Leaving footsteps on the beach and watching them being erased by the ocean.
Inventing crazy dances with my husband, dancing cheek to cheek and singing made up Broadway-sounding songs.
Watching the clouds and telling them they are beautiful.
Watching crows through my kitchen window gather and have meetings on rooftops, while I'm waiting for the kettle to boil in the morning.
Seeing my beautiful, flowery, 1930s organza dress that I wore for my wedding, every morning when I walk into my closet to get dressed (yes, I have a walk-in closet!)
I love this dress so much but have never worn it since the wedding. It somehow doesn't feel right to wear it for less of a special occasion. But, I think I'll have to get over that way of thinking somehow, I do want to wear that dress again!
Lying on my husband's back, pretending to fly through space on our space adventure (he's driving, I'm navigating) and pretending to greet the occasional spaceship with a very Queen Elizabeth sounding Hellooooooo - for some reason it scares everybody out of our way, straight away. (if you look hard enough you'll see us flying out there)
As I like bending the rules a little, I listed seven things, not six. I hope you will appreciate my rebellious nature!:)
I'm also supposed to tag six other blogs, so here they are:
Bricoleuse, Fridaville, The Cottage Cheese, Kitty Stampede, Gypsea Tree & Daily Obsessional
You should check out their great blogs!

Tina, I love this post! You and your husband are so sweet, and your wedding dress is just beautiful. Thanks for tagging me, I feel so honored! I am such a sleepyhead from my 3 Mexican beers in celebration of an Cinquo de Quatre (I know, I'm a day early), I will do my tagged post tomorrow. I'm off to bed early tonight...

Dearest Moe,
In no particular order:
I sincerely admire a rebellious nature. Off for more coffee & to think about what I should post (will post photo to get Tuesday "started" but real one will be response to this, though could hardly do as well). You already know from your pix/tag that I love what you do. I'm distracted by pie sighting in post below). Do forgive me.
Yours sincerely,
Tootsie-Frootsie (& Giulia aka Julie zee gattina, who would love to stand-in for Larry...I will not allow her to travel to SF without me, though.)

they may seem unimportant but i like to think of those kinds of things as frosting on the cake of life. without them it wouldn't be nearly as interesting!
love the wedding dress & i would love to see the photos of you in it!
your blog is lovely, tina & your work is even lovelier! thanks for sharing!

Brilliant! What a star you are. I love every one them, and I bet life would seem pretty unimportant without them.
