Hi everyone! It's Friday and that means time to look for our blessings from the past week. Guidelines are here if you need them.
It has been a bit of a ho hum week around here for me. Nothing big and exciting. So I had to do a bit more opening of my eyes to find my favorites amidst the routine. But they were there waiting for me to notice them. These are my top five favorites this week.
1. Ice Cream Sandwiches made out of these cookies
and vanilla ice cream. Oh my, they are sooo good together. Very addictive. Bet you can't eat just one. These cookies are also wonderful dipped into a hot beverage such as coffee or tea. Think I'll go to the kitchen get a couple right now.
2. A fresh, clean carpet. Every couple of months I pull out the handy, dandy Hoover carpet steam cleaner and have a go at the carpets. There is something about a fresh clean carpet. It makes me feel more relaxed in my home. I know, weird, but it's the truth.
3. A movie at the theatre. A rare occurance for me. My friend treated me to a movie. It was great going to a theatre to see a show. We took in "Unknown". Enjoyed the escape with popcorn and coke on the side.
4. Tax receipts done and sent to the dayhome parents. Always feels so good to get those done and out of the way. Now to get our tax stuff together and to the girl who does our taxes. And that will be done for another year. Yipee.
5. Weather that has been above the freezing mark. It's been wonderful, to us that is warm, the snow is melting like crazy and the sunshine has been out. It feels so good and I hope it is now going to stay around.
What are your favorite blessings from your week? It may not always be obvious and easy to find them, but well worth looking for and noticing them. Please join in and sign up on Mr. Linky.

I love ice cream sandwiches so much that I'm not sure I could give up the chocolate. But, I do love those ginger cookies as well....
We've been above the freezing mark also but now we are in a flood watch. I'm hoping it will get rid of the snow we still have left.
Maybe this means Spring is finally on it's way around your place as well? It's nice to get sunshine, isn't it?
Ginger cookies wouldn't often be my first choice, but they're good especially with hot tea!
Crossing something off my to-do list always helps me feel better, and warm(er) weather is a blessing!
It's not weird to feel relaxed when things are clean and fresh around us or maybe because I feel the same way, and I love the feeling :) Oh I love popcorn even when there's no movie. Glad you're getting sunshine there at last.
Did you enjoy "Unknown"? Glad to hear it's beginning to warm up for you! I know what you mean about getting those tax receipts done...I feel that way about getting my research papers graded.
Have a great week ahead!
I'm glad your weather has made an improvement. I hope Spring shows up in full glory! Sounds like a good week Susanne.
I'm glad it is starting to warm up a bit. I love when anything in the house of freshly cleaned. I can imagine the dayhome, as well as any kind of self-employment, complicates taxes. I don't think hubby has started on ours -- I'm glad he ca handle all that.
sometimes ho hum weeks are the best! I enjoyed your list.
I love the feel of a clean carpet so I know what you mean.
Getting anything having to do with taxes out of the way is a favorite in my books! Good for you.
You had a productive week -- taxes and clean carpets, either one would be a huge accomplishment, but both is great.
Ice cream and ginger cookies sounds delicious. I'm the only one in my household that likes ginger cookies, though, so I would have to eat them all myself:)
It's such a treat to see a movie in a big theatre. And movie popcorn. Glad you had a good week, Susanne!
I love all of these things!! (well, except the taxes, but I also was grateful that ours are done this week, too) I've never tried a ginger cookie ice cream sandwich, now I think I must!
I looooove a fresh, clean carpet! And going to see a movie in a theater if a fun treat sometimes. (We rarely go. But we did go to see The King's Speech this past week and it was really good!)
Hope you have a great weekend!
I'm sorry I linked up the wrong post for #13 please disregard!
I love cookies, anyway I can get them! Movies at the theater are a treat especially with popcorn! Have a great weekend enjoy the warmer weather.
What a great list Susanne! those cookies look great....I'll look for those at Fresh Market...i know my grocery store doesn't carry them. Ice cream sandwiches are awesome! Today we are finally above the freezing mark ourselves here in my part of NYS...it's a balmy 53!! Have agreat weekend!!
Susanne,
I am so pleased to be following your blog AND I finally managed to get a Friday's Fave Five post together - on time! Thank you for the linky.
I love each change of season, but by the end I am so ready for the next one. I am anticipating spring with every cell I have, I think. Warmer, greener, fresher, NOW, please! Hope you feel it, soon.
Blessings,
Penny
