your perfect day sounds perfectly perfect. *sigh* the weather was lovely yesterday... if only it would stay! i think it's raining at present. alas.

Cheryl said...

I'd have the same perfect day. With my own boyfriend of course... I'd have to get me one of those.

Meghan, I forgot to incorporate pizza into my perfect day. I'm craving pizza so badly, in fact, that I will probably have some for dinner.

SG, I love the pun, also, your AmEx meme.

Kimberlina, why is it raining today? I'm on vacation and I wanted a cool, clear, sunny day. Wah!

Cheryl, I say do all of this with your Sweetie Pie...

I loved last splash. Marry me?

What a great meme idea. I do admit a guilty pleasure of reading these when I see them in magazines. Oh yes, I do.

Yours is more interesting though. Our alarm clock is also a cell phone, when it's not a 6 year old child.

My childhood ambition was to stay alive past my fourth birthday. I've done it! I'm officially 5 now.
