1. Talking to my parents on the phone, particularly my dad. We don’t do that often but it is nice when we do. (He was officially laid off June 5 and, as you can imagine, he was a bit upset about getting the boot, even though he knew it was coming, so I wanted to check in on him.)
2. The postman delivering my adorable terrarium. It brings a bit of nature inside my apartment.
3. Bumping into old friends at the grocery store. They are getting married in July and I am going to the wedding, but I haven’t actually seen them in a while. Our communication is usually via facebook or MySpace, sad to say. So talking face-to-face was good! (Below is one of their engagement photos, shot by Mary Hawblitzel. Sweet, huh?)
4. Right after that encounter, I went to TGI Fridays and visited with my bestie (who works as a bartender there), her mom (who just happened to also be visiting when I walked in) and my old roomie (who is also a bartender! I never get a short pour, that’s for sure).
5. Sleeping in on Saturday.
6. Having a late lunch with the boy at Jerry’s Deli where I just couldn’t resist ordering the fried zucchini and, despite being stuffed from my turkey on rye, picking up a black and white cookie on the way out. All around, delicious! (That's the Encino location we went to, below.)
7. Getting a rust-colored leather wallet/clutch from Fossil. The boy bought it for me while we “window shopped” at Universal Studios City Walk. (We also picked up a bunch of candy at this store called IT’SUGAR. We’re so bad!)
8. Wearing one of my new necklaces (the tear drop necklace from oh, hello friend) and getting complimented by a perfect stranger.
9. Banana ice cream. My fave.
10. The sun coming back out on Sunday after a June-gloomy week.
So what little things made you smile this week?

Sorry to hear your week was kind of a bummer! Hopefully it picks up this week!!
Banana ice cream, huh? I'm intrigued...
ooooh Ben&Jerry, it always makes a week better. I hope your week will be better after this Sunday. But it seems like you had an interesting weekend, I love late lunches.
I'm glad you had a fun weekend love! Yay for bumping into old friends and YAYYAYY for bartending friends haha.
Cute Fossil wallet too...
The sunshine on Sunday made me happy. I have not been having the best time. BUT things always get better, and if not, there's Ben and Jerry.
XOXOXOX!!
That Fossil clutch is so, so fantastic...I love it!
I am smiling because I only have to work two more days before my 11 (ELEVEN!!) days off. Seriously. I could not be smiling any wider :)
Hope this week brings you more smiles!
Such a good list! Seeing elderly people holding hands is always adorable. Walking into a coffee shop or bakery to the smell of fresh bread or baked goods. Sunshine after about 27282 straight rainy days. Summer vacations!

I love that rust colored wallet. Good purchase.
