friday love list: because i would LOVE TO STOP COUGHING THAT’S WHAT I’D LOVE HOW ABOUT SOME OF THAT, HUH?
I wasn’t going to do a love list today.
I’ve said that before.
Many times.
I’m like a broken record, really, or Girls Gone Wild! ads on late night television (with less skin and more sullen malevolence), or the lingual patterns of teenagers (”Rilly? No way. OMG. Rilly? No way. OMG. Rilly?”)
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Thing is, I’ve hacking like a 90 year-old smoker with a kitten trapped in their lung. This makes me feel… crabby.
Which I’ve also been before. And admitted to before.
I think I used to devote entire hours to being crabby from ages 13-17, most often when I thought my mother could be in my proximity, because a) she’d love me no matter what and b) MOMS ARE SO ANNOYING! GOSH!
(I CAN’T WAIT TO BE ANNOYING TO CHILDREN!!! INSTEAD OF JUST THE OPPOSITE SEX!!! AND PEOPLE WHO HATE OVERPUNCTUATION!!!)
But none of that really matters, does it?
“Just do the damn list, Meg… your backstory is so emo we bought it a striped shirt and eyeliner.”
Well.
Okay then.
THINGS I LOVE RIGHT NOW
Orange juice from Happy Planet
Oat bars
Numi tea
Crisp white shirts
My doctor, if he gives me the GOOD cough stuff

That the area under my nose is no longer a sinus-inflicted red, flaky Hitleresque painstache
Debates that keep my mind from closing in on itself
My roommate, who is home from California
Eric, our lovely friend she left behind
All the sassy surfer girl bangles and earrings she brought me home (I love big earrings)
My fireplace
Bounce sheets
Lip balm that smells orangey or vanilla-y

As usual, feel free to leave your own love list in the comments, or put one up at your blog. Love makes things better, I swear, even if it’s just for a few minutes until the next bomb drops.

“…hitleresque painstache” HA! I almost spit out my drink when I read that.

Thanks for doing one of these today. I think I need to go do one of my own as well, maybe especially because it’s harder to do one today than usual. You are right, love does make things better.

I love that you are still able to muster up some funny even though you feel like H-E-double hockey sticks.

This love list was a treat to wake up to this morning.
Thank you! Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Okay, the “buy your backstory a striped shirt and some eyeliner” comment was hilarious. Also, I love the term “painstache,” because that’s what it is.
Hope you feel better soon.

Ily coffee always makes me think of Europe. That’s what I love; Europe. I am ’secretly’ plotting to go back very, very soon.

The sun! I saw it today! It still exists!
The new air freshener wall plug in things I got for the apartment.
The click click of typing, espcially when I’m not typing to any office managers or to vendors.
Knowing the answers to questions that my office managers ask me.
Ice cold water after brushing my teeth.
Microwave bacon.
