1. Fresh, hot coffee.
2. My big, beautiful new desk. (shown above)
(Now all I need are big, beautifully funny thoughts to pop into my head while I sit at it.)
3. The two big bottles of tomato juice in my fridge. Tug, 0. Skunk 1.
4. Healthy kids and a husband who’s feeling a bit better today.
(Though that may change during the Giants game.)
5. My hot pink iPod, really cold workout “crib,” and the energy to enjoy both. Bye, bye mono. I don’t miss you already!

Her follow-up, 500 Acres and No Place to Hide: More Confessions of a Counterfeit Farm Girl, is both heartbreaking and side-splittingly funny as our favorite fake farm girl navigates her husband’s very real cancer diagnosis.
