Love Love

Remember on Shrek when Shrek asks Donkey, “Really?” and Donkey replies, “Really Really!”? Well that has always stuck with me, and it extends to love. I sometimes tell Taylor that I ”love love” him – because saying it once isn’t enough. So, in honor of the DAY OF LOVE, but without grossing anyone out, here are a few things that I love love:

- Chocolate mousse. Seriously. I could eat it every night for dinner with a glass of red wine and be the world’s happiest (and fattest?) girl

- Dancing

- Red Dirt Country Music. Jason Boland, I die every time.

- Sitting around a fire, listening to a friend playing guitar, and drinking red wine. All 3 separately, or any combination of the 3.

- Reading trashy gossip magazines

- Red carnations. Snap dragons. Orchids.

- Puppy breath

- Hugs from the Harold (officially called the “Wheaten Welcome”, Wheatens innately know how to give you a hug)

- Road trips

- Sunsets in Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, California, and Mexico.

- Pedicures

- Perfectly cooked, lemony white fish with asparagus, orzo, and lots of red wine.

- The very few and far between nights where I can pretend I’m in college again.

- Dallas, and everything that comes with it.

- Hugs

- The smell of brewing coffee, especially Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut or Java Dave’s Snickerdelicious

- Pioneer Woman’s Drip Beef (the recipe that uses pepperoncinis). It could convert a vegetarian, no joke.

- Skeleton Keys

Oh there’s so much more.

What are some things that you love love?

When I have $$

After the bar exam, when my wonderful Husband has a full-time job and we are no longer slaves to penny-pinching and student loans, THIS IS WHAT I AM TREATING MYSELF TO:

Kindle 2 = LOVE

 

Katherine has the new Kindle and when she was here last weekend, I just got a glimpse of it because we were crazy busy. However, when I go to Houston in a couple of weeks, I plan to kidnap it and make sure it’s what I want – because far too often I buy something, only to return it a few days later because I expect it to completely revolutionize my world and it does NOT. But having talked to her at LENGTH about the Kindle 2, I believe it will be exactly what I need (especially since I just did my second bookshelf purge of 2009). ALSO, since the new iPhone and software are being released this month, AND since the iPhone features a Kindle app where you can sync them and pick up where you left off (so convenient not having to lug around 2 electronic devices at all times, especially since the Kindle won’t fit in a clutch or my pockets)…I plan on getting an iPhone to go with my Kindle. LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE!

Do you have a Kindle? THOUGHTS??
