okay, so i decided to cheer myself up. therefore, here is a list of things i'm really into right now:

* sudoku puzzles
* the sights
* this random cd of 60s peruvian surf music that i bought yesterday
* smucker's natural peanut butter on apple slices
* blue diamond flavored almonds (especially the wasabi & soy sauce ones)
* better made bbq chips -- an old favorite of mine, and my brother just brought me some from michigan. yum!
* the idea of these crazy bars called larabars (i've only tried one, so i can't say that i love them all): there are only 2-6 ingredients total, and they're totally natural
* the scent in love again, by yves saint laurent (my favorite summer perfume, which fortunately for our budget only comes in perfume and not all of the other add-ons (bath gel, soap, lotion, etc) or i'd have to have them all
* hanging out on our deck, where this weekend it has been party central
