Every Friday, I do a Love List. Well, almost every Friday. Most Fridays. At least SOME of them. HEY, STOP HASSLING ME.

Why do I do it?

Well, it’s a good way to shake off the Weekday Angst and set yourself up for some Weekend Happy.

And it just so happens that this Friday Love List comes a day before the World’s Most Commercial Exploitation of Love (besides The Notebook)… so why not do it up in style?

(Note: It also happens to be my parents’ anniversary. No, they aren’t cheesy. Yes, they are awesome. And whoa… it’s been 39 years. Beat THAT!)

This year, I actually happen to be in love for Valentine’s Day, so there’s even MORE reason to seize the day.

Or I could just say that I’m counteracting Friday the 13th.

Any and all reasons work.

So, without further ado…

THINGS I LOVE

This guy.

My mom and dad, who inspire me by being best friends AND happily married, though it all.

New York cheesecake

Soft, warm pashminas.

Random haiku. The more random the better.

Steak tartare.

Calla lillies, peonies, hydrangeas, and anything else they sell here.

Sunny, dry weather. Bliss. Cold or warm.

Eric, Matty, Mike and the rest of the good guys in my life.

Dreams you can fall back into on a Saturday morning when you realize it’s okay to sleep in.

Boston, Boston, Boston and All Her Residents.

Good scissors.

Ballet flats of all kinds.

Vitamins C, D and E.

Short people.

This song:

This cat:

Goldfish. The cracker AND the pet.

Takeout of all kinds.

Huge handbags in unexpected colours

This, in handfuls. It will change your whole life.

This, for springtime.
