I really enjoy taking time out of my day to remember the things that I love, but often forget about because of a hectic schedule. My last two love lists (found here and here) were a lot of fun to make. I think it’s a good time to make another one because I’ve been focusing on a lot of negative stuff these last couple of weeks. I’m missing all of the good things that are happening right under my very nose. So here’s Love List #3:
Strawberry donuts, lazy Sunday mornings in bed, original-flavored SunChips, putting together furniture, “Memory,” margaritas, the “cuds/snugs,” honeydew melon, the song “I Love My Canoe” by Troubled Hubble, writing on CDs with Sharpie markers, understanding math and chemistry even for only one day.
School spirit, laughing, listening, clinking of glasses, shish-ka-bobs, decisiveness, hearing “thank you,” the smell of burning leaves, pumpkin-scented candles, non-itchy scarves, cucumber-melon shower gel, new loofas, Bears game buddies, skeletons, long drives, tattoos, alphabet magnets, oil paints. 
The way canvas feels, singing along with Billy Joel, hash browns, the color red, drama-free weeks, low-key weekends, PEZ, thumb wars, body pillows, printers with ink, cute keychains, my mom’s couch, bookends that look like hands, hope, the rattle noise a can of spray paint makes, coloring.
Saving money for a new toy, Chuck Bass, bumble bees, tiny Post-Its, the under-the-sea theme on my webcam, bloggers, rubber duckies, anatomy books, flash drives, Kid Robot, maps, movie stubs, lemons and limes, refunds, rebates, wrapping paper, the way the pages of MacLife Magazine feel.
What do you love?

I did a love list not too long ago. I love fall, Ohio State football games, sales that I didnt know were going on, and drinking an ice cold beer and just relaxing.

Good call on the writing on CD’s and tiny post-its.

snuggling (even if it’s just with my dog. sad i know), diet cherry coke, the way it smells after it rains, hydrangias…too many things to count.

I should really do one of these. It’s a good way of recognizing some of the good things.
I love dark chocolate with espresso beans. I should not eat it at 10:30 at night though…whoops!

“the smell of burning leaves, pumpkin-scented candles, non-itchy scarves”
I am right there with you, girl. I found the perfect pumpkin spice candle last year at a craft show… I’m afraid I will never find another as delicious.

I could write a whole love list just about fall. It’s my favorite.
And cuds. It’s boyfriends and my cheesy word of choice!

sports and beer. I know, that was stereotypical.

I love fall, the crisp feel and smell of the air. I love my dogs snuggling up to me in bed. I love the expansiveness of new opportunity and new beginnings.

I love crisp fall nights. I love hot cocoa with whole milk. I love the smell of pot roast. I love enjoying the company of my friends. I love ruffling feathers of petty people. I love fresh brewed coffee. I love dark chocolate. I love it when Adicus gives me kisses. I love sleeping in a queen bed with the hubby, four cats and an 80 lb dog. I love fall color. I love hot dogs cooked on a bonfire. I love getting compliments. I love doing a good job. I love reading blogs, and I love getting comments.
I also love the sound of my office being built.

I love you! I do love fall weather, the breeze and chill in the air. I love the smell of freshly dried laundry too. That’s my favorite. I need to make a list like this.
Reply
This just make me smile. I think I’m going to have to make up my own list. I’ve been having such depressing days lately, I need some “love” lists in my life.

Love your “things I love list” There are so many random things in this post that I absolutely love like keychains, Billy Joel(definitely not as random) writing on cd’s with Sharpies, wrapping paper, school spirit, and Chuck Bass
Reply
That Chuck Bass is on your list, haha.

Seriously, my life has been sucking lately. But this? Cheered me up like none other. I’m glad I read it at the start of a potentially bad day, because it turned my mood at least a little bit. Thanks for that

I love singing along Billy Joel too! It always surprises me when people don’t know what kind of ‘lame boring music’ I’m listening. It’s so not lame! It’s real music!
