Things I Love

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, here are 25 things (not people) that I love -
in no specific order:

  1. Hot, hot, melt the skin off your back showers.
  2. Pizza - seriously, I could eat it at least twice a week, every week.
  3. Baking bread.
  4. Having a clean home - I can't truly relax if my house is a mess.
  5. ALL four seasons - call me crazy, but it makes me so happy right now to look out my window and see the snow falling.
  6. Fruit - except cantaloupe. Peaches and oranges are tied for 1st.
  7. A girls' night out.
  8. Movies that make me cry.
  9. Pottery - even though I don't get to do it nowadays. There is nothing more relaxing and therapeutic. Someday I will have my own wheel...someday.
  10. Holding one of my babies while they sleep.
  11. Planning a party.
  12. My electric blanket - while I do love all four seasons, I don't like being cold.
  13. Pedicures.
  14. THE mountains - meaning my Utah mountains, the ones I have looked at almost every day for almost 30 years.
  15. A clean car - it was ALWAYS clean before I had kids.
  16. Sleep.
  17. Family vacations
  18. Laughing until it hurts.
  19. Chillin' around a campfire, roasting a mellow.
  20. Candy - I once went for 3 1/2 years without any...what was I thinking?!
  21. Reading a good book.
  22. Plays.
  23. Fresh flowers - but not on Valentine's Day; too much $$$.
  24. Sunsets - there is nothing better.
  25. Handmade gifts - both the ones I have given away and the ones I have recieved. Priceless.
Happy ♥ Day everyone! Spread a little love, give someone a hug, or simply enjoy a few of the things that you love most.

that was a great read...however, I'm still puzzled over why you abstained from candy for that long. I'm glad you have seen the light once again :)

Your number 1 is my number 1! There is NOTHING better than melting your skin off, I like my baths that way too-where it hurts to step in, lol! I also agree with laughing til it hurts. Thanks Jamie and I hope you had a great Valentines~miss you!

I love all those things too... what a great list! And why is it that our cars can't stay clean anymore??? It drives me crazy!

Ashley Rae said...

Aw, I love your loves. Very good list. I love nearly everything on there as well :)

You need to do pottery again! You are so talented with that...

3 1/2 years without candy? Wow. I am totally impressed.

I love mountains, and I love handmade gifts.

I support your decision to go private, Jamie, but I just realized that I don't get updates on google reader now. Can you confirm this? Ah well, I'll just have to pop in on my own accord. Considering you have children, I think you made the right decision.

Great list Jame. We have a lot in common, besides the clean car thing. I'm not very good at that. Great list. Love ya!

Nice list.

Now, about the weird Brian Smiley guy: If I found another Mindy Eyre who had a blog and had a daughter named Madi or Maya I would TOTALLY stalk her blog.

That being said...there is no way in H-E-double that I would add the other B.S. to my private list.
