I love this post! I was just thinking last night of making a small journal for keeping track of things I love — I’ll send you one when I get it made. I’ve undertaken home printing and perhaps a making-crafts-for-selling-them endeavor. I’ll keep you posted on how all of that goes.
The Bay Area misses you!!
Thanks Tiff! What a great idea, I can’t wait to see your home printing craftiness!
I miss the Bay Area back!
That made me LOVE you even more!
I love you too Zanny!
I love this post!
I wanna copy it!
I love many of these things too! It’s nice to think about things you love.
I freakin’ LOVE Anna Waronker. Is that one of the cd’s I burned you?She is THE BEST.
Ok,second best,your #1.
PS I started a list of things that make me happy back in the “I’m so depressed I can’t get out of bed and make macaroni and cheese” phase.
Was Anna Waronker the lead singer of that dog? If so, I love her too.
This list is awesome! There are so many things I agree with. You are a really cool person!
matty,
Go for it…I copied it! It was great to think about stuff I loved all day long. Though I didn’t include the instructions…list things you love without referring directly to any specific people.
lostinutah,
It sure is!
raglandfamily,
It is one of the CDs you burned for me and I am addicted to it!
Aw, that makes me want to come over and make macaroni and cheese for you…and drink beer and smoke all your cigarettes. xoxo
yournamehere,
Yup!
radioactive girl,
Aw, thanks!
You are what you love. Cool post.
Ha! Thanks..this is just the kind of thing I needed to read today.
I love reading this post on heaps of blogs. I learn new things about each blogger, stuff I can use as ammo against you later. I need to get out and swim in the open water stat.
I love this!!! I’m doing it too!
Great post! Now you’re probably already aware, but I am feeling the need to be helpful regardless of how helpful it really is. This “Jupiter” place… yes, it looks delightful. And I see how you could miss it. And to help you transition from this favorite watering hole of yours, I feel the need (kind of like the need of the Relief Society Pres. to bring a casserole to her neighbors) to tell you about my favorite patio bar. The name is “Hogs Wallow” and it’s near the mouth of the canyon. The patio is AMAZING! Check it out sometime… hell, I’ll even buy you a beer
This is so cool. I wish you lived closer to NY Pants. As soon as Luke is laughing true baby laughs, I’ll have to somehow record it and post it just for you. Right now he’s just doing this squealing thing.
“Cleaning toilets when upset” has been added to my List of Things to Try Before I Die.
