The Saturday Seven: Favorite Creature Comforts

This was a busy and stressful week at work. Lots of really long days with a non-stop pace. I generally work well under pressure, because I stay focused on the end goal, keep a positive attitude, and always find just a little time for something to get me through the day. I started thinking of just what those things are, and it inspired me for this week's scintillating edition of

The Saturday Seven: Favorite Creature Comforts.

#1 My Extra Comfy Bed and Down Pillow...oh how I love my pillow!

#2 Big Full Bodied Red Wines..always do the trick to relax and get my mind off things

#3 An extra long shower under the "Rainwater" showerhead. (I know its not environmentally friendly, sorry)

#4 My favorite chocolates, Fannie May Dark Chocolate Vanilla Buttercreams..mmmm

#5 Tivo: Digital TV playback is cool Even after working a long day, I can go home and watch my favorite shows at whatever time I want...and fast forward through commercials. Love it!

#6 My iPod. I love this stupid thing. Music is so important to me, and having my entire music collection with me can be a nice source of relaxation.

#7 My Cell Phone. What can I say, I like to talk on the phone. It relieves stress, I catch up with family and friends, bla bla bla. Yep, its a creature comfort alright.

Bonus entry: My two favorite creatures themselves: Owen and Shimi. They are the ultimate stress-busters. I love them both! No matter how tough my day gets, when I get home, they are so happy to see me, I instantly feel better just being with them.

What are YOUR "creature comforts"? Things you like that get you through the day...go ahead, leave a comment. After all, its NO CHARGE!!!
