My List of Loves

So, I thought I'd jump on the "Valentine's" bandwagon and make a list of the things I love in life, followed by a few things I don't so much. Hope everyone has a very Happy Heart Day!

1. The way Ella smells right out of the bath, in her pj's.
2. A warm towel from the dryer when I get out of the shower (I'm always cold).
3. The way my head fits just under Tom's chin in that snuggly neck place.
4. Warm, fresh coffee on a cold morning.
5. Shopping, any kind...but especially for clothes for Ella.
6. SHOES!
7. Knowing my favorite TV show is waiting on my TiVo until I have time to sit down and watch it (probably with a cup of coffee!)
8. Finding money in a pocket you didn't know was there.
9. Going to the car wash and getting my car all pretty!
10. Cooking in the kitchen for my family.
11. Sitting around, talking with friends and family.
12. Catching up with a friend over a nice long phone conversation, or even better...in person.
13. Watching my daughter's face light up when I walk into the room (she's a Mommy's girl). :)
14. Going on a nice long walk with Tom, Ella and Cooper
15. The warm, refreshed feeling I have after I leave Church.
16. Sitting and chatting with my hubby over a glass of wine.
17. Waking up in the middle of the night knowing I still have several hours left to sleep (unless Ella wakes me up!)
18. Knowing I've helped a friend, or at least made them smile.
19. Getting all dressed up for a night out on the town (doesn't happen very often!).
20. Ice cream, Ice cream and Ice cream. Oh! And Ice cream.
21. The smell of the BBQ grill during the Summer.
22. Getting Ella out of her crib every morning and waking up to a happy, smiling, good smelling girl with crazy bed head :)
23. Taking naps.
24. Massages! And mani's and pedi's!
25. Trying out a new shampoo and/or conditioner (is that silly?).

And here are a few things I don't love so much.....
1. Slow drivers. They are the bane of my existence.
2. Morning breath. Yuck.

3. When people blare their music so loud in the car that you can hear it for 5 miles.
4. Finding a piece of clothing or pair of shoes that I LOVE but they don't have my size.
5. When every traffic light I come to is either turning yellow or red. Give a girl a break!

I love your list! My favorite is #17, waking up in the middle of the night and realizing you still have hours left to sleep!! What I love about these lists is the ones I didn't think of, and I'm like "oooh! me too!" when I read them :)

Love you! Happy VDay friend!

We have lots in common! My faves: finding money in a pocket you didnt know was there, seeing your baby light up when you come in the room (charlie is a mommas girl too!), and the refreshed feeling you have after leaving church...oh and true that to all the "do not likes". I hate when they dont have my size! Anyway...this is fun!
