friday love list: now we’re sixth on Google.com for “love list”!
You can find more here here. Oh, and here. Oh — here, too.
Oh, one more.
Anyway.
IT’S FRIDAY, Y’ALL. How exciting is that? And how exciting is it that I just said “y’all”?
PRETTY DAMN EXCITING. I’m just saying.
I’m enjoying doing all these love lists on Fridays, because they definitely help shift my weekday-riddled brain and heart over to Happy Weekend State. And since the summer is practically over, WE’VE NEVER NEEDED LOVE LIKE WE NEED IT NOW.
“Sure, Meg,” you say, “Lists are nice and all, but how the hell is writing about my favourite things going to get me more excited about life?”
“Well,” I say, “HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF THE FRICKIN’ VON TRAPPS?”
If something works for a group of children in outfits made from drapes being pursued by Nazis, it can work for you. So go do one on your blog. Or list your favourite things in the comments.
If you’re just lurking and sucking up all the favouriteness without pouring it out, you may in fact EXPLODE from all the love you’re taking in.
Exploding? Not something I love. Especially in the morning.
THINGS I LOVE
California! In! One! Week!
Scrabulous, even if SOMEONE thinks I lack word placement skills and everyone keeps using the dictionary
Reading a haiku about Justin Timberlake on the radio, even if he will NEVER HEAR IT

Oh Meg, I know this was unintentional, but I still snickered aloud.
“If something works for a group of children in outfits made from drapes being pursued by Nazis…”
I love:
drapes being pursued by Nazis
The vagaries of English
Tongue-wrinkling bitter chocolate
Yoga
The resident toddler’s dimples
Ugly Betty on DVD
My featherbed
Early morning bike rides
The crema on a double espresso
Brownies, all chewy and warm
The smell of the library
Chili cookoffs
My husband’s calves
Finishing off a semester with a good grade
