a few of my favorite things...

i don't really have a desire to spout verse about raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens. and bright copper kettles certainly don't get my water boiling...pun! but, in the middle of this whole reconnection with the world process, i thought i'd brainstorm a little more and share some of MY favorite (not Maria's) things with the world, or just with you:
1. rainy days. depending on what i'm doing, i prefer the rain over the sun.
2. wasl (if you haven't tried it, you haven't lived).
3. pedicures (there's just something about someone yelling at me in broken english,"lady, pick yo' color!")
4. hiking to beautiful places.
5. diners (my secret life goal is to become fluent in "diner speak")
6. people with lazy eyes.
7. state fairs. and the food. oh, the food!
8. compilations of short stories.
9. witty ads.
10. cats. don't judge.
11. the paper supply aisle during back to school season. be still my heart!
12. getting inspiration in the shower. usually for advertising.
13. cary grant movies.
14. going to sleep in a sleeping bag.
15. nanaimo bars. they speak to my soul.
16. yiddish phrases.
17. leather sectionals. don't ask, i'm not even from idaho!
18. gelato.
19. writing in my journal. outside. in a cafe. in paris. watching other people.
20. clean-smelling vintage stores.
21. cupcakes.
22. peonies.
23. international soccer.
24. harry potter anything.
25. waterfalls.
26. ikea.
27. costco sample saturdays.
28. road trips.
29. 80s/90s nostalgic films.
30. power ballads.
Thirty's enough for now. I'm surprised that you've lasted this long reading...
