22 Spending time with mom

I love my mom beyond what words can describe. I am happy to be home now because I call tell her this everyday…in person! I am glad that, unlike some I’ve met, I was able to appreciate my mom for the individual that she is at a very young age. Since this epiphany our relationship has grown into a friendship I cannot imagine living without.

I have the best mom on this planet!

17 Spending time with Frankie

18 Spending time with my family

19 Hearing my mom and dad tell me they love me everyday

20 Plantains!

21 Playing Wii with my nieces

30 Pancakes. Fun word to say, fun to eat!
31 Seeing plays, and the sensation I get after I see one, like I’ve been involved in the play itself.
32 Learning, especially information that I consider interesting and useful.
33 People who consider the holidays a time for spending time with family, or people who haven’t lost the ‘magical’ feeling of Christmas in their hearts.
34 Going into a bookstore and just walking around, randomly looking at things.
35 Snuggling and kissing- my favorite!
36 Feeling sexy
37 Cute stuffed animals- I have WAY too many for an adult woman!
38 Perfect weather- spring/fall, 75 degrees, slight breeze, sunny…
39 Peaceful and lone Saturday mornings at college
40 The way I feel after a really, really good workout
41 When a favorite song comes on the radio- even if you get home, you have to stay in the car and listen until the end!
42 The way children get all happy with the simplest things- one dollar toys, imaginary games, your company- and the way that they say such silly things
43 Finishing a 43 things goal, especially if it’s an important one

25 When the time passes quickly when I’m at work, especially during day shifts and especially on slow days.
26 Thinking of how my cool boss clearly likes me because of how she gives me shifts fairly
27 The silly voices and faces my boyfriend and I make
28 Chocolate. Reading about it, eating it, I don’t care!
29 When my mom smiles

14 Satiny or microfiber clothes
15 Pretty lingerie
16 Bath and Body Works stuff! Yeah, I admit it :p
17 Shirts from threadless.com…I also admit it, and I’m addicted
18 The way my new haircut looks when I wear my hair kerchief
19 The way my new haircut does not weigh my entire head down when it’s wet in the shower
20 Snow, especially Christmas snow
21 Feeling accepted into a group
22 When my friends like the funny skits I write
23 A good party where everyone is talking and having a good time
24 Meeting people who agree with my activist ideas- I don’t feel alone

12 My afghan that my grandma knitted for me
13 Smiling (Yeah, I know…)

10 The way it feels when you’re lying in bed and you’re about to fall asleep, but still conscious.
11 My cat, and all of her quirks :p

6 When my man tells me he’s proud of me
7 When my man gets a haircut
8 When my man lets me know how special I make him feel :)
9 When my man says “yeeaaahh.” (It sounds cute, not creepy like it seems as typed!)

1. Dancing alone in my room to music I love.
2. Going to the library and picking up interesting books.
3. Having a conversation until late at night and learning something from it in the morning
4. My diary, especially as I’ve written in it recently. I’ve done more doodling and colorful drawings, and I think it’s really beautiful and expressive.
5. Walking down the street and just going outside of my planned destination and task to enjoy being alive :)
