These are a few of my favorite things....

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

In the hype of the Christmas season, I decided to make a list of my favorite things.

*Note: The list above is not compiled of MY favorite things 

1. Sending Emails 

If you know me well, you know I love to send emails.  Formal emails, professional emails, friendly emails, long emails, short emails, sweet emails, news articles via email, pictures via email, website links via email, to-do lists via email... and it goes on and on.  I love to type it up, edit it, and press that little send button.  However, then I have to sit and wait for emails to come back.  Which they very rarely do, but I still love...

2. Receiving emails!

Hello... I love to send them, yes, but I love to get them too.  That little number that pops up that says how many new messages are waiting for me...beautiful. But I must admit, I'm getting sick of all those stores sending me holiday coupons I will never ever use.  Thanks for the offers though.

3. Photography

No, not really taking pictures or anything to do with me and photography, but I've found a love for looking at photographer's blogs.  I would say this started when I found my wedding photographer.  I love to check her blog to see if she's posted new pictures from a shoot.  I love love LOVE it.  I wish I some a little bit of that talent (WHOO! I just got an email).

4. Baking

Yes, baking.  I absolutely love it.  Send me a recipe and I'll make it.  Christmas presents this year?  Food items.  Mint chocolate chip brownies, candied nuts, almond bars, caramel apple dip, crinkle cookies, cookie in a jar mixes.  Love it.  Embrace it.  Eat it! 

5. My bed

What would this list be without my almost favorite thing in the world? I love to lay in my bed with all my blankets and pillows and, of course, Bragley and Kaia.  I love sleeping and just being super comfortable.

6. Sweatpants

Any size, shape, or color. Jeff hates it.  'Nuff said.

7. My LV purse

*Inspired by Sharron F. <3

I bought Louis in Hawaii in October 2007 (I think) and have used it almost every day since.  Hey, I have to get every one of those 600 dollars worth out of it. Although sometimes I do think of all the other things I could have bought with that money, it's the only big splurge I've made in my life.

8. Water

It's all I drink.  Sure, sometimes I'll get real crazy and have a sip of Jeff's coke or have my own, but typically I'm an H2O supporter. 

9. C.lean L.aundry S.mell

CLS is what I like to call it.  I like having clean clothes to replenish my closet, but I hate putting them away.  This number 9 is strictly saying I love the SMELL of clean clothes.  MMmm.

10. My dog

You all know that.  Kaia is my baby.  She is naughty and psycho, but that just adds character to her lovely self.  

11. My Family

They're kinda crazy, and drive me kinda crazy, but I gotta love them.  I don't know what I'd do without them.  When you lose someone, it makes you realize even more how much you have to appreciate everything about your family and friends. 

12. Jeff... of course!

Did I really have to say that?!
