I love....
5 random things, not the usual kids/dh/boring stuff
ready, go
Re: I love....
I thought of 5 more.....
1. the smell of fresh baked bread.
2. sleeping diagonal on the bed when my husband is gone.
3. organizing my scrapbook paper by color - so relaxing to me
4. bedroom toys.... there I said it. Please don't judge me.
5. walking around the aisles of target without a list.
Me too! Sometimes I do a load of laundry and use bleach just so I can smell it.
I know! Then when I am buying bleach, and there are scented bleaches, I think "WHY!! Why ruin the smell, its bleach!"
- being able to laugh with friends about things our husbands would never understand.
- the smell of fresh cut grass.
- sitting in Evan's kiddie pool while he runs around the patio.
- new underwear.
- an ice cold cherry pepsi.
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
1. driving to work blaring my stereo and getting pumped up for my day
2. lahvosh from Lazlos
3. road tripping/packing a cooler with my favorite beverages
4. walking around the farmer's market with my dog and taking in the people, food, and general eclectic-ness.
5. chicken tenders, mashed potatoes w/gravy, and mac and cheese-all together on a plate, heaven!! Maybe some honey for my chicken too...and a biscuit while I'm at it..that's all.
1. Getting my hair washed at hair appointments
2. Phone calls from my mom where we chat about nothing in particular
3. The smell of Pine-Sol. (I should remember this to try to help me clean more often...)
4. Being a little sore after a workout - makes me feel like what I just did was worth something (although it's been entirely too long since I've had this feeling).
5. Going out to shop for nothing in particular and finding awesome deals and having lots of success finding stuff.
-bargain shopping
-sleeping a full 8 hours or more
-naps on weekends
-fresh cut grass
-when I am disciplined and eat good
1. When Ruby yells during church. She has no sense of how loud she is and she just bellows when she "talks." It embarrasses H, but it makes me smile every time. Her "babbling" may very likely taper off soon, so I relish any time she uses her voice.
2. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough. It's heaven in a bowl.
3. Cleaning my kids' ears.
4. La Casa pizza.
5. Going into an air-conditioned house after swimming and taking a nap.
I have five more:
1. Receiving packages. Doesn't matter what it is.
2. Sunday afternoons when everyone is napping but me.
3. The melty ice cream around the perimeter of the carton if it's been left out for a little while.
4. Seeing all the dog hair in the vacuum canister. Makes me feel productive.
5. Looking at photo albums. Printing 2,000 photos and putting them in books before Ruby was born was the best money I've spent in awhile.
1. Fresh cut grass
2. The smell from De-humidifiers
3. Watermelon that I could eat an entire one if I could
4. the smell of rain
5. Cookie Dough Blizzard with Strawberries in it.
...ribeye cooked over a wood fire - tastes like frickin' bacon.
...my increasingly buff arms, and the workouts that leave them all shaky.
...the feel of a breeze on the back of my neck.
...when my daughter "paints" my eyelids with her fingers while whispering "deedeedeedeedee"
...seeing God at work in my life.
1. The smell of fresh cut dress
2. Watching Say Yes to the Dress
3. A big salad with lots of fixings and ranch
4. Working on my budget (yes I'm an Accountant)
5. Sweet Tea
Cleaning out the fridge.
A good homecooked meal
