new day

"Marilla, isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?"

-Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

yesterday was just awful.

i'm one of those people for whom things tend to snowball

one thing goes wrong...

and then another...

and another..

you get the idea.

not the greatest quality for a doctor to have, let me tell you

i should work on being more resilient.

some days i am.

"unflappable" is the word one of my evaluators used.

but not yesterday.

it all culminated in me writing a very gripy blog post

that my iPad then promptly ate up

it just disappeared.

so i threw in the towel and hit the sack.

probably best that way.

i'll spare you the gory details.

let's just say i thanked God in heaven above for this pinterest gem

on to today!

it's December 1st.

traditionally,

(as in, last year, i did this. that's the extent of the tradition. don't judge.)

December is the month where i count down to Christmas day

with a list of my favorite things.

sort of a long, drawn-out Christmas wish list

-slash-

favorite things about Christmastime

it's fun for me.

fun for you.

and gives my loved ones brilliant ideas of what to get me.

(:

so.

without further ado.

favorite thing #1

Sonos Play:5

it's not just a speaker.

it's a whole wireless system that you can control

from your iPhone or iPad

and access iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, whatever from

it would basically be a dream come true.

we've been lacking a speaker system

or really ANY means other than a laptop

for playing music.

this would be the ultimate hi-tech solution.

i'm crossing my fingers that Santa pulls through...

happy December!
