friday love list: by jen’s request, and for NO OTHER REASON.
I wasn’t going to write a Friday Love List today.
Then my old friend Jen (Jen is not old… well, she’s old if I am, since we’re the same age) emailed me and said she could use one.
Sigh.
Jen, in all honesty, I’m not feeling the most loving today. In fact, I have a hate on for my sinuses and a few other things I won’t really get into at this point (though none of them are people, and any one of them could change on a dime.)
This makes me struggle a little more than usual with the List.
But I guess I should smarten up, mmm?
Or go kick someone’s ass. That’s kind of cathartic. Illegal, but cathartic.
*cough*
Without further ado:
THINGS I LOVE MORE THAN I WOULD LOVE KICKING SOMEONE’S ASS RIGHT NOW
Bits and Bites (Meli Melo!)
My lemon cuticle salve (also? the word “cuticle”, but definitely not “salve”)
Reassurance
Yoga balls
A good dream you remember
Haiku
Clapping in glee
Emails that encourage
Men who appreciate curves. And I mean real ones, not supermodel ones (know the difference between a coverlet and a duvet, people)
Laughing until I feel kind of queasy but awesome
Men who can fix things
STET
Perfect hair days
Big watches on men
Private jokes with your favourite people
Big leather bags, perfectly broken in
Black tank tops
Getting the copier to staple it FOR you
My iPod Touch
Salmon sashimi
White teapots
Clementines
Straight-up regulation-time hockey victories
Cashmere
Shea butter soap
Garlic naan
Ira Glass (still)
Sunshine on the way to work
Sunshine on the way home from work
Black coffee
Goat cheese
The Irish
Soft pants
Babies so cute you just want to EAT them!
Memories of rollerskating
Giant knuckle-sized rings
Men who wear pink shirts
Rick Astley
Cherry-chili chocolate (Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia!)
Beaker
Bunnies
Bacon
Jeans and heels
Nerd glasses on nerd boys (no pretenders!)
Bunnies wrapped in bacon (KIDDING!)
Perfect hooks in pop songs
Consistency
Gold hoops
Learning about new people
Learning something new about someone you already know
White v-neck shirts
Lemon Meringue Pie
As always, feel free to leave a list of your own in the comments, or pop one up on your own blog!

Today I love …
… unexpected adventures in new places
… finding a cure for my allergy to children
… being reminded of how cool my dad is
… picking fresh lemons from the garden
… believing in something against all odds
and …
… rediscovering Meg’s Friday Love List!

But Rick Astley? Really?

Meg-o-love…I feel lighter already.
I love Meg’s Friday love lists. Buzz’s (just how do you pluralize that name?) is pretty impressive too. But I love Meg’s.
Garlic naan bread….mmmmmm….
Rick Astley….hmmmmmm…..
Thanks ;)

I’m not sure there is anything I’d love more than kicking someones ass right now…maybe…
*Riding my dirtbike
*heat/summer/shorts/tank tops (any combination of those)
*watching Transformers for like the millionth time.
*reading a good trashy magazine
*finding a truck to buy
*a shower so hot that it takes my breath away
Thanks to Jen for making Meg write a love list, they are a Friday staple for me. And thanks to you Meg, for not kicking someones ass, and writing a fantastic list instead :)

Not feeling particularly lovey-dovey either but…
I am loving right now:
* Tylenol cold because it’s relieved me from my cold symptoms.
* Brunch with good friends who wanted to see me despite being sick.
* Watching Roger Federer vs. Pete Sampras in a quiet apartment.
* The sun out there :)

Lady bugs
Pink flowers
Hen & chicks (the plant, not the animals)
Star fruit
Singing
I guess mine is a Sunday love list. Not sure how that changes things.

I just need to say that I also heart men with big watches. Thanks for understanding! :)

Oh, I am so very sick of the shootout. Why can’t the Oilers win one in three???

Okay, I was taking notes… as part of my general single-guy improvement program, but you lost me on the pink shirt thing. Just can’t do it.
