friday love list: futuremeg lovesounds.
Well, I did it here. Oh, and here. Oh — here, too.
And I did it already today, but deleted it right before I posted it. Because I? AM AWESOME.
Kids, it’s been a hell of a week.
And when I say a hell of a week, I mean that you should combine all the annoying noises, places, experiences and sensations you can think of in your head… and then multiply it by two.
I’m going to celebrate the ending of this magical week by resting, relaxing, and consuming vast amounts of salted items.
Mmm… salted items.
(Stay tuned for next week, when I post that my body has morphed into something resembling a Havaiana-clad water balloon.)
I think a love list is just what the doctor ordered, yes? And also pressing “Save” every few seconds from now on…
THINGS I LOVE
My total inability to Riverdance
Super Mario
The perfect pillow
My camera phone
Bubble wrap
Seth Rogan
The time I ate a 7-Up Lip Smacker
The upcoming sweater season
Peppermint tea
My coworker who does yoga in cycling shorts
Fantasy Sports
Robaxacet
Mini-trampolines
California in TWO WEEKS
The general furor over the new Canucks jersies… because it means HOCKEY IS BACK
Rainbow sherbet (and it’s not pronounced “SHERRRBERT”, for the love of Pete!)
Trevor Linden
Whoever manages to get me Justin Timberlake tickets before Wednesday
Andrew Ridgeley
Lifesaver popsicles
Sunshine through the clouds
My confusion of the word “wanton” with “wonton”, and how awkward this makes my Chinese takeout orders
Raffi
When the baby upstairs calls me “auntie”. And also? “duck”
Sundresses
Dahlias
Safeco Field
Vitamin B
As always, love it up in the comments, or do one on your blog.
THERE IS SO MUCH TO LOVE.
Don’t hold back.

Great list…a couple of things I’d add:
- big league chew (original flavour)
- Vector cereal
- smell of fresh tennis balls
- driving fast in the OPPOSITE direction of a traffic jam

I did my love list. On two blogs. Well, they are the same blog, but one is a Windows Live Spaces blog (my original website www.shannon12271.spaces.live.com) and the other is a new Wordpress blog (www.ladyshanny.wordpress.com). They both have exactly the same content for now. I love the Wordpress one because I can muck about with it a little more, but I’m finally getting some good readership on my original one. So, you tell me, which do you like better? And which one would you rather go to? And is it worth it to make the switch? Does it really matter? SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

I’m going for Chinese tomorrow night. I’ll have to give wanton soup a try. (Hope I don’t get arrested….)

Still listening to that @^#$ song, even as I type.
What is wrong with me??
Have the best long weekend ever… you SO deserve it, you were a warrior this week

FIRST OF ALL … this is so a totally nervous effort Meg, cuz’ it’s my very first blog comment … like EVER ! But I just seem to be drawn to your “fantabulous and amazingly wonderful” words and thoughts ! Tried my best to include words like giggles and giddy, and other ROFL adjectives, but I hope you get the idea ! ! Well, Um… things I love, huh ?
(1) Planter’s Honey-coated Spanish peanuts (I have genuinely wondered if they are available in a convenient “wheelbarrow” size ?)
(2) A perfectly made and chilled Bellini. (Oh, YUMMY Yum !)
(3) Growing tomatoes … (Well, eating them actually after they’re grown !) Growing them is a pure exercise in “dedicated frustration”
(4) A perfect PB&J “sammich” w/ some cold cow! (Yes, local organic, thank you!)
(5) Any day I don’t have to see (or hear) William Shatner !
(6) My last (and first…) cup of “Golden Hunan” tea w/ raspberry honey and lemon !
Meg, is there a particular reason this seems to following a carbohydrate and giggles theme ?
… And speaking of lemon, I just found/made the most luscious “frozen lemon mousse” recipe (available to all on request), and trust me Meg, I was wholly “in love” (or was it just pure “sugar syrup” lust ?)
(7) Sitting out on the deck on a warm evening w/ a cold Imperial Stout in my favorite “San Miguel” glass !
(8) Holding hands w/ my wife, Marilyn, and wishing everyone could feel this good.
(9) Receiving an e/mail w/ Bobby Flay’s personal recipe for “Kickin’ in The Keys” BBQ sauce. (Oh … like “Yow-e-e-e-e” !)
(10) Flower Girls, wrapped in yards of ribbons and ice-pink organza ! (Is there really [anything] that beautiful ? )
That’s it Meg … probably silly, but I’m sure your blog will inspire me to GREATNESS !
(Um, I think I had a #11, but I’m sure it will come back to me )
