erica's joys :)

Okay not that long, only a few weeks. You missed me though right? Of course you did. ;)

So for the past couple of weeks, I've started and deleted many a post, mainly because I wasn't inspired to write. Chalk today's inspiration up to things I love. This blog is called erica's joys right? Well here are some of the things that bring me joy.

• We'll start off with Birthday Cake ice cream. I visited my sister recently and got a taste of this marvelous ice cream and now I'm addicted. Honestly, when I'm as big as a couch, I will have her to thank. If you've not experienced the wonder that is Birthday Cake ice cream, you need to seek it out and partake. What would be truly fabulous would be Birthday Cake ice cream bars with frosting shells instead of chocolate. Seriously, it could revolutionize birthday parties. Imagine the pretty multicolored ice cream bars with the lucky birthday kid's name and/or age on them. Are you listening Mayfield?
  


• Good pens, particularly the BiC Z4 Roller. I am extremely in love with that pen.


• Room temperature water. Don't ask me why but I only like ice cold water when I've just come from outside when its hot.


• These guys:


• These girls:


• This guy (even though smoking is gross):
  

And that, my friends, is a small collection of some of the nouns that bring me joy. :)

Meanwhile, back at the ranch (or leaving the ranch), I cancelled my Valleyschwag subscription. Not that it wasn't awesome or anything but they kept sending me shirts that were too big (women's XL != men's XL). They also kept sending me stuff from Ask and Yahoo. What am I going to do with that sort of stuff? Besides, I figure I have enough schwag to last me for a while.

While I'm thinking about it, I'd like to thank Apple for dropping the price of the refurbed 2 gig iPod nano's to $99. Thanks so much Apple, for doing that after I just paid $115 for a 1 gig mp3 player. Not that I don't think my Zen is great but seriously, 2 gigs always beats 1 gig. Always.

Enough talk, time for sleep. Early day tomorrow and all. Oh, before I go, I'd like to give a shoutout to the spell checker in Blogger. If it weren't for the spell checker, I'd never spell tomorrow correctly.
