Random things that I love

I love a big tub of laundry detergent, the way it smells, the way it speaks to me with simplicity: this you can do! Scoop me! Scoop me!

I love the littly bitty purple violets competing with the yellow dandelions all over our lawn. I don't consider them weeds. They are beautiful.

I love a freshly swept hard wood floor when the sun is shining through the windows.

I love new songs.

I love that first hug of the afternoon when my kids come bursting out of the school doors.

I love silence.

I love being the first person awake in the morning with no lights in the house but a few lit candles and the red glow of the "on" light on my coffee maker.

It goes without saying, I love coffee.

I love being out of doors, and walking under trees.

I love being in the woods. Must go soon. I don't live near any woods.

I love the anticipation of summer break that ripples through everything we do this time of year.

I love hanging out at the pool with my kids all summer. Neener neener, it's half a block away!

I love a clean dishrag and kitchen towels.

I love buying a new bottle of pretty much anything: lotion, shampoo, dish soap...new is nice.

I love hand-me-downs for the kids AND for me.

I love the fact that my "skinny" husband needs bigger pants....ha ha ha ha ha....and I need smaller ones.

I love windy days, especially if I can be outside.

I love watching the clouds when a storm is moving in.

Lasagna, don't forget lasagna.

I love sandals and skirts and t-shirts on glorious sunny days.

I love teapots and lace and things with pink roses on them.

I love cheap perfume. (I love the expensive stuff too, but have never had any).

I love babies, and toddlers who need to be held.

I love big kids that can be shoo'd outside and forced to do menial housework.

...coming tomorrow...things I hate...;-)
