everybody's gonna love today

today was pretty great. still haven't shared a valentine's day with a special someone, but this year i was still able to be with people who are pretty spectacular and inspirational.

1. broke it down in a harlem shake at my company's valentine's lunch hour. 
2. enjoyed a delicious meal with ladies who should not be single because they are simply amazing. 
3. spent 2 hours painting my stubby nails and catching up with girlie friends. 
4. rounding it up with yummy froyo and the forever inspiring and beautiful kristen. 

>>>>>>>>   and to end my evening/early morning, i want share with you my LOVE LIST. yes, a list i started over 5 YEARS ago of things that i absolutely love having, experiencing, seeing, hearing, doing. <<<<<<<<

sunsets and sunrises
skipping
eyelashes
honda element
mint chocolate chip
whose line is it anyway
ruby tuesday's salad bar
psalms
umbrellas
billiards
cute songs
funnel cake
grown men acting like little kids
sand volleyball
long car rides and looking around
sewing purses
stars
gerbara daisies
lightening storms
hiccups
comfy couches
silhouettes
chandeliers
toasted bagel with nutella and crunchy peanut butter
making people laugh
waking up from a nap
spinning on chairs
seeing power line poles line up while driving by
catching people staring at something
getting rid of spare change
fireworks
interstate interchanges
when my fingers are tan and in between fades to my normal color
popcorn kernals half popped
watching a movie in an abnormal position
funny commercials
falling asleep to rainstorms
hearing the single beep with you push the walk button to cross the street
purple m&m's
fat apples
sparkling grass in the winter
hopping into bed
the sound of a jar being opened for the first time
city lights from an airplane or high elevation
tearing up junk mail and old papers
little kids walking with a huge towel wrapped around them
light shining through leaves
standing in the middle of the road
wooden wind chimes
bonfires
seeing the swirl in a new container of butter
purple sunsets
seeing boats in a dock
snapping the ends off green beans
smell of lumpia
the last bite of an ice cream cone
throwing fruit remnants out a moving car window
the line waves leave when it comes up to the shore
driving on recently wet roads. not puddles, just a thin layer of water in the cracks
stopping doors with my foot
mike and ikes
my bangs
seeing q-tips in a small glass jar and swirled just right
seeing people walk into a theater
jimmy fallon's laugh
blue man group

what's on your love list??


[and you better believe that i also have a hate list]
