Of good report

An incomplete list of things that are making me quite happy recently:

The song Like A Friend by Pulp
The soundtrack to Tick Tick…..Boom. Utterly brilliant. I’d forgotten.
The end of the Office this last week. (Well, week before last. The one with the hugging.) Perfection.
Zoe singing Zippidee Doo Da and You are my Sunshine.
Zoe’s new found love of all things Halloween (with the exception of her pirate costume, but we won’t go into that here.)
Ana and Jack being in town.
Frozen grapes.
Audrey laughing.
That this season of Dancing with the Stars is quickly earning the name Dancing with Disaster. (Ok, so the massive number of injuries don’t make me happy, but the whole cumulative effect is rather funny. Although if Cloris Leachman dies or is seriously injured the funniness will be at an end and they should just give up the show for the season because apparently they’re cursed.)
Britney’s new single. Even though it smacks of the same crappy school of repetitive songwriting that Beyonce graduated from (honestly, it’s like they gave up part way through writing the chorus), it’s catchy, Brit sounds good, and I like it. Don’t love it, but like it, which is more than I can say for her last album.
Neil Patrick Harris. Because he should be on any list of things that bring joy.
The fact that Little Big Planet is actually out, and that B went and got it today. HOORAY!

Please

Please take a minute today to pray for this little girl. I don’t know her or her family other than through her mom’s blog- and honestly I don’t remember how I even came across it about a year or so ago. But I can honestly say that my heart has hurt for her as she’s gone through a great number of struggles, and that I’ve prayed more fervently in the last week or so that she be healthy and safe and that her little sister not lose her than I’ve prayed for anything in a long while. She’s getting a much needed liver transplant today (her 3rd so far in her short little life) on her mom’s birthday, so please join me in praying that everything goes incredibly well and her mom gets an incredible gift of many many more wonderful years with this precious, hilarious little girl.
