Good list. I would say mine is pretty much the same, except for the “American boys” and roommate ones. And I’ll add this one:
Ethan, and that look that says “Yeah, I’m 9 and I’m gonna have fun no matter what.”
My favorite thing about Fridays. Meg, your love lists rock. Here’s a couple things I love:
*Being single.
*I too love american boys, but only when I’m single. The rest of the time, I’m wishing for a canadian boy…or australian.
*my best friend being nervous to ask me something silly
*coffee in the middle of the afternoon
*my 6 year old losing teeth (thought being the toothfairy is rather expensive these days and he just gives the money to his 6 year old BFF…ugh)
*flirting over text messages
*summer, heat, and the smell of sunscreen
*Vegetable Lo Mien
*Post-It Notes
*pop tarts
*a fantastic pair of earrings
*and finally, Warm sunny friday afternoons with the office door wide open.
Happy weekend to you Meg, glad you’re feeling better! I’ve recently regained my sense of smell as well, it’s amazing.
Great list, as always! I’ve done one on my blog today too.
Meg, you are one of the most lovable women I’ve ever met online (OK so the sample is really small). Still, I love the fact that, at least once a week, you look for things to be thankful for. When the right guy comes around, he is going to get a remarkable, awesome woman.
Now I’m just sayin’. :-)
I love a worthy cause, so I just donated a little sumpin’ sumpin’ to help out.
Thank you SO much, Mary. Everything helps more than you know.
Lovely list… I am in complete agreement, but I’d have to change “American boys” to “Canadian boys”, as I am head over heels with a cute Toronto boy at the moment ;-)
Cute list. I’m hoping I become much nicer when ang if I get a boyfriend too.
YOU rock. That’s all.
lovely Meg…
where ya b’in?
a whole week without posting?
your wittyness and way with words has been missed.
your posts always seem to make me smile somehow, or instigate a little chuckle…
and i thank you for that. :)
That is the longest post title ever.
I wish I could express how much this was something I needed to read today. You’ve made me stop focusing on how much is wrong right now and think about the good…not something I usually struggle with, but we all have our days, right?
