I thought I would make a list of things I like at this moment...some of them are new likes and some old.. I am not sure how many there will be yet just hang in till the end an you will know
1. The Library-While many people might find a library a little dorky I absolutely love them. A place where you can go and get a book, read it, them return it. And now libraries offer even more than just books magazines, internet, books on tape, dvd's, photocopying, and tons of children's programing. You just can't go wrong especially if you like books (see below) because this is a place of free books!
2. Texas- I think those of us who live in our great state take it for granted. I was reading a blog by a lady who is a native Texan but lives in New York and her blog is all about missing Texas food. I mean any place you can not purchase Rotel is not ok with me. But for real we have a wonderful state on our hands and I can't imagine living anywhere else!
3. Texas Weather- As much as well all grumble and complain about the weather in those sweltering months of July and August you have to admit we have it pretty good here. There are not many places to live where you have the possibility of wearing shorts and a coat all in the same week, but it is always a possibility here. I think it is the unpredictability of the weather I love. For those of you who live in Texas there is nothing like watching a thunderstorm roll in during those summer months. They come out of no where and you have to be a seasoned Texan to spot the warning signs. But they are a thing of beauty!
4. Smart Television- There is so much junk on TV today somehow as a people we have become ok with mindless reality tv. Well I am going to take a stand I am not ok with it. Smart television is where it is at. When I say smart I mean TV that makes you think, TV that is funny, TV that makes the impossible and silly not seem so impossible and silly. Some of my favorite shoes on TV now are: Fringe, Heros, How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock, Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, Phsyc, House, Chuck...those are just a few but they are shows that are smart, funny, well written. Favorite not on TV shows: Alias, Felicity, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars, all shows that didn't have huge followings but were amazingly written and so fun to watch.
5. Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies- This is on the list because it is Girl Scout Cookies Season and I love a good thin mint straight from the freezer that is right the freezer they are at their best when frozen. I don't know how long I have liked these but I always look forward to the day I walk into my Mom's house and she hands me my yearly box of Thin Mints...there is nothing like it.
6. Books- I guess this is a given if you know me or read about the library. I just love the smell and the thought of opening a new book and diving into a whole new world. A world I can create in my mind using someone else's words. I said yesterday I would pretty much choose to read over almost anything else! It is an amazing escape.
7. Discover good music- I love when you find an artist that can give you goose bumps while you listen to the beautiful art they create. I love finding people that put their whole soul into giving people wonderful words to listen to. Music is one of those things that can alter your mood with just one note of a song. It is yet anther amazing escape.
8. Twitter- This is one of the newest things I have discovered. It is such a fun place to quickly type what you are doing and letting everyone out there know. It connects you with people who you would never have access to. Technology never ceases to amaze me.
9. Blogging- This is yet anther new thing I love. I don't necessarily love writing them but I love reading them. It is a wonderful tool that allows you to stay connected to people you would lose track of. I have the unique joy of seeing two of my favorite people being amazing moms through their blogs.
10. Sandwiches- There is nothing like the taste of an amazing sandwich. It doesn't have to be from a fancy place, although if I had to pick I would live for Panera Sandwiches. Sometimes bread, meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo hit the spot. There is nothing like a sandwich on a hot summer day!!
Ok so I ended up with 10 there are many more thing I could add but these are all up there right now. Thanks for sticking with me until the end of that I just felt like recording some of the things I have been thinking about. Have a wonderful day!
