Things You Love

Thanks to the whole TWO PEOPLE who participated in my first-ever "contest." I'm glad to know I have such an abundance of participatory readers. But for all I know, these two commenters are the only ones reading this silly blog, so I guess I can't complain.

Whatever the case, they each listed multiple things they love, so it was still a somewhat difficult decision. I had a hard time deciding whether or not to judge based on relatability or creativity. I decided on the former but will still give credit for the latter.

So here are the winners...

3rd place: From lindsay, "Picking/popping anything pickable/popable. Gross, I know." It is gross, Lindsay, but we all agree that this is a disturbingly satisfying activity. I was actually going to put this on my list but I changed my mind because I didn't want to sound disgusting. Thank you for doing the dirty work for me.

2nd place: Again, from lindsay, "Changing into my lounging clothes." This is one of the first things I do when I get home from work. After a long day at the office, it is sooooooo therapeutic.

And the first-place winner is...

From I'm Cas., "I time laundry perfectly and the sheets come out clean, dry and warm right before I need to put sheets on and go to bed." This is so right-on, so something I would do. In fact, I'm really mad at myself for not thinking of it when making my own list. I wish I could crawl into a bed of warm sheets right now, but that would mean doing laundry at 11:23 p.m., which means it'd be 1:00 a.m. before I could even go to bed. And my bed is already mad at me that I'm not in it right now. It's all, "Suck it up, dude, you need me. So you're gonna take me cold or you're not gonna take me at all!" And I'm like "Hey, look, don't yell at me, aiiight? This was all I'm Cas.'s fault for putting such a crazy idea in my head. Maybe if some MORE PEOPLE had participated in my CONTEST, I would be content with my cold sheets, okay?"

Ahem.

I would also like to give I'm Cas. honorable mention for using the phrase "Carbohydrate Wonderland" in one of her other items. Sounds like a place I need to visit.

I should also probably visit my bed before it starts swingin'. Good Night!

Things I Love

My blog posts have been rather intense this week, what with my continuous saga of one failed relationship after another. I think it's time I lighten the mood a little. 

This is a blog about love, right? So I feel it's appropriate that I periodically share things that I, well, love. I'm talking about those little everyday moments when you find yourself saying, "I love it when..." I believe that these moments are some of the best this life has to offer, so I consider it my civil duty to document them. You may not agree with all of my choices, but simma down, you'll get your turn.

Things I Love...

1. Pressing buttons on an elevator. No matter what age I am, it never gets old.

2. When my text message alert goes off. *Bing!* Someone likes me!

3. When my co-workers and I are all slap-happy at the same time. Everyone else may think we're annoying, but we think we're hilarious.

4. The word "pshaw." It's better read than said. Pure literary magic, that word.

5. Looking up my house on Google Earth. It's creepy and awesome all at the same time.

6. When I wake up in the middle of the night and realize I still have several hours left to sleep. What? It's only midnight? Not 6 a.m.? Sweet!!

7. When I can sing (say?) an entire rap song, word for word. It is one of the most fulfilling experiences on earth, is it not? My specialties are: "Everybody Dance Now" by C&C Music Factory, "Knockin' Boots" by Candyman (filthy lyrics, but I know all of them!), and the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. (I know I'm not alone on that one. Holla!)

That's all I've got for now, but I will make other "Things I Love" lists from time to time. Because I'm sure there are hundreds of things that I love and I don't even know it.

In the meantime, I want to know your "I love it when..." moments! Leave a comment about it, and I will pick my favorite one and feature it on tomorrow's post! I don't have any fancy prizes or anything, but my opinion is prize enough, am I right?

Pshaw.
