Things I enjoy

After taking much abuse at work for not producing any sort of blog recently, I have decided to take a cue from my mother and write about things that I enjoy. This is a way to stay positive and it makes you feel good thinking of things that you enjoy unlike when you think about things that tick you off. That always puts you in a worse mood. We are going to stay positive. Positive, positive, positive!

I very much enjoy lilacs. The smell, the look, the colors. Hmmm, mmmmm. I have many, many lilac bushes around my house. They are incredibly huge and tall and I can't get to many of the flowers but they sure make my whole yard smell nice. I have light purple bushes in the front, lining the driveway and around the side of the house and I have white lilacs in the back. We have so many lilacs in fact, that we tried to get rid of a whole bunch but they of course, are back. Would anyone like some? Come on over and dig some up.

I absolutely love anything apple especially apple desserts. Oh geez, there is no way that I could every turn away a plate of apple crisp or walk past a plate of apple danishes. Thinking about it right now, they might be my number one weakness when it comes to food. I should probably stop thinking about them, I am on a diet. Good thing I'm not going to the grocery store later!

When I am freezing cold (which is most of the time in the winter), I love to cozy up to a fireplace with a hearty fire going. Pull up a comfy armchair, curl up and read a book. Holy moses, that is probably one of the most comfortable things to do especially after you have eaten a huge meal and are way to full to even move. I could just sit like that for hours. My next house will for sure have at least one fireplace. Max will have to get good at splitting wood.

I really enjoy hugs. :) This might sound incredibly corny but I do! They make me feel real good and I am just an incredibly affectionate person. I hug almost anyone that I know. Now, I am not a hugger in a pervert way mind you. I only really hug people I know unless you get a few drinks in me, then I might hug people I know a little less. yikes! that's ok, just pretend you enjoy it too if I hug you in a situation like that.

I very much enjoy The Office. This show is freaking hilarious and I cannot wait for season 5 to come out so that Max and I can watch it. We don't watch it week to week, it's much better to watch it episode after episode after episode. A whole lot of funny! We also do this with the show House which I also, very much enjoy.

Oh how I love other peoples junk. Friday mornings, when I can go to garage sales, are just simply wonderful :) I have found many a pretty thing in other peoples junk. Photography props, books, lamps (a particular favorite), some clothes, furniture, ect. My house is filled with other peoples junk and I love it!

I am not a coffee drinker so when I am feeling like a warm drink, a orange tea is just the ticket. I like most tea but orange is my favorite. Warms a body right up! I think I actually have a couple teapots but now I have an electric pot that warms up water in less then a minute. It is amazing! I would strongly suggest investing in one of these if you are also a tea drinker.

Positive, positive, positive! (I have been literally trying to get this blog done since 11 this morning.) Tootaloo for now! Hopefully I will get back in the mood for blogging!
