Elf Ahoy!

Go elf hunting.

Playing Favorites

It’s been a good weekend, folks!! Things that I am currently adoring include;

• Thick, warm, fuzzy socks.
• Those freaking adorable little bitty marshmallows in hot chocolate.
• Being the only person I know who says ‘pop’ rather than soda.
• Curly intricate drinking straws.
• Ridiculous and totally ’90′s photo poses.

• Realizing my shoes, which I’ve had for months, say “Love you” on the soles! With a heart and arrow, natch.
• Managing to resist biting my nails (I know, I’m disgusting).
• Ice tea. God, it’s so yummy.
• Twirly voluminous skirts. I have decided I need more.
• Making plans. I am one of those people who gets a kick out of fillinf our surveys and making lists, graphs, blueprints, hell, even managing my budget.
• “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
• Rolling office chairs.
• Seinfeld reruns. Nothing else makes me laugh so hard.

• As I write this, I realize I just bit off my pinky nail… Pride goes before a fall, I guess…. Damn!
• Novelty phones. You know, lips, bananas, whatever.
• ’80′s movies. My favorites of the moment are the classics: Grease, Grease 2 (I actually like this one more than the original…), Footloose and The Breakfast Club.
• Being inspired stylistically by ’80′s movies. God, I want leather Sandy pants so bad. And her legs to go with them, haha.
• Fruit smoothies. Mmmm.
• Minks. You will never see a cuter animal! We have one where I work, she’s a total doll. She creates havoc everywhere she goes, of course, but still, a little cutie.
• Seeing a cop’s lights, getting nervous, then realizing he’s not after you.
• M.M. Kaye’s amazing novels of India and incredible love. Go read The Far Pavilions and you’ll be amazed. Yes, it’s long, I know, but stick it out. I was, in turns, sobbing, laughing, and literally gasping out loud.
• Turning off the news. I can pick and choose my information online, thank you very much, without getting bombarded with horrible news.
• Antique shops. I waste hours in them routinely.
• This.

So what are you guys loving lately? Anything in particular making your day/week/whatever?
