Sharing smiles

Often times I choose a bag to match my outfit, but today, I decided to match my outfit to my current bag.  I was remarking yesterday that I also tend to pick a rather neutral outfit the day after I wear a colorful one.  Keeps it interesting right?


It was a gorgeous night here in MN last night.  Perfect MN summer evening.  We met some friends for drinks at a vodka bar in St. Paul and sat on the patio there.  It was perfection, especially when the sun started to go down and they turned on these fun lights.  I love those kind of evenings and I try to file them away in a memory box in my mind for bad days or days in the dead of winter when I'm asking myself why I live here again!


Tonight should be another good weather night.  Mr. Monkey is going golfing with my dad.  Do you know how much that makes me smile?  It is something I always hoped for when I married him, that someday he'd share something like that with my dad, so it just warms my heart that the two most important men to me are bonding and spending time together.  While he is doing that I'll be catching up with an old friend who has just moved back to town.  And there will be puppies.  And that makes me smile too!


Apparently I'm just in a really good mood today!  I think it is because I started my day off right, listening to my Songza app and choosing the Feel Good 90's mix.  Nothing like music of your youth to get you going right?  You know what else makes me smile?  Pippin.


Gee, maybe instead of telling people I dressed to match my purse I should tell them I dressed to match my cat today.  It almost works!  I hope my smiles bring a smile to you today!
