Things for Happiness: Week 17

It's been a long week, y'all... And it's not like I've even had all that much to do, it's simply dragged on and on and on... I'm at the point in the semester where I am ready for my month-long break! (At the same time, I'm also dreading my Thanksgiving and winter breaks because I know that their impending approach actually means that I'll have to get my group projects done soon and start studying for finals before long... Eeeeep!)

Here's what's making me happy this week (in no particular order):

1. I finally acquired an infinity scarf! I've been wanting one for about a year and a half, and when I saw this fun print at Target, I just knew that I had to have it. I love it - it's so colorful and so soft! Definitely adds a fun bit of pop to whatever I'm wearing.
2. I went to visit one of my favorite series of photos today - "The Brown Sisters" by Nicholas Nixon. Nixon took a photograph of these four women every year for twenty or so years. It's a wonderful, compelling exhibit and it reminds me why I love photography so much.
3. I found a recipe for some delicious white-bean-and-spinach tacos that I made a few days ago and have been slowly working my way through the leftovers... So good, so simple, and visually appealing to boot! What more could you ask for in a food?
4. My beautiful, wonderful, and talented best friend/little had her artwork exhibited for the first time in the art school's gallery! I went to the opening on Monday to support her and was so proud to see her work on the wall. This girl's got an incredible ability with a paintbrush.
5. My banana blanket. The temperatures have dropped pretty substantially here lately, so this magnificent yellow sheaf of fuzz has been keeping me toasty. It's brilliant.

What's making y'all happy this week?
