15 Things I Love

I'm copying this idea from BriAnn's blog.

1-Martin. It's really nice to have that one person who is always in my corner and loves me no matter how crazy I get. He's my very best friend.

2-My family. I could fill out 2-15 for everyone in my family and why I love each one of them, and my list would be complete. For variety's sake I won't, but just know I could because they mean the world to me.

3-Abbi. I love the saying, "The more people I meet the more I love my dog." It's just so true. She is happiness in dog form.

4-Not being sick. I can't wait 'til I get over this cold and start being able to think clearly again.

5-Nice weather. It just makes the day better. When the weather is nice and I'm having a crappy day I like to be able to say, "at least it's a nice day outside." When it's miserable and cold, it's hard to see the upside to things.

6-Technology. I love my iPhone so much I think it's unhealthy.

7-Days off from work. It's nice to be able to relax. To do what I want to do, or do nothing at all. (I usually choose the latter)

8-Not having TV, but still being able to be caught up on all my shows. I feel like I waste less time this way. Watching commercials or flipping through the channels when nothing is on it wastes a lot of time. Now I read more or go for walks. (I'm sure Martin wishes I would take this extra time to clean...)

9-Home. I stayed overnight at my work one day this week because we have another car out of commission and I didn't want to have to find a way to work the next day. It was so lonely I barely slept at all. I like the familiarity of my home, my husband, my bed, my things. It was hard to spend a night away alone.

10-Sleep. I like my work schedule because I can stay up late which is great because I'm a night owl, but I can also get 8 hours of sleep. I know it sounds spoiled, but if I get less than 8 hours, I'm cranky and I can't handle things as well.

11-Friends. I don't have very many friends outside my family, but the ones I do have are pretty awesome. It's nice to be able to talk to someone and relate to someone else.

12-Being creative. I feel like I'm a "jack of all trades, master of none" when it comes to crafting, but I love to be able to see something online or wherever and recreate it myself and have that feeling of accomplishment.

13-Thinking about baby names, talking about baby names, reading about what other people name their babies. It's kind of an obsession really. Even though we can't commit to actually having a baby, I love to add to, and read over my list of baby names all the time.

14-Morning. Maybe it's just because I don't see it very often, but I like being up in the morning. I got to work the day shift one day at work this week (7-3) and I loved seeing the morning light, feeling the cool morning air. It was pretty nice even if it doesn't happen very often.

15-A clean house. It just feels better, more peaceful and relaxing. Now if only that was enough motivation for me to keep a clean house all the time.



Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I think Things I Do Not Love would be an easier list to write. After the first three I really had to think about my answers.
