Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens

Friday, June 18th, 2010

G, over at Can I help you, sir? has been writing a few installments of things that she loves. This morning, I read a similar post by my BFF, Femme Fairy Godmother. Because I have spent a lot of time wallowing in the depths of self-pity lately, this seems like a great way to practice a bit of gratitude and start the day off with joy and wonderment. I hope this spreads like wildfire!

Things I love:

article-1166841-01C431CE00000578-601_468x359really good cheese (like triple creme brie and pimente d’espelette); long, flowing romantic clothes with a hippie-chic bent to them; the digital Yahtzee game I keep in the bathroom; Zumba; The movie Bell, Book, and Candle; the way DPR gets so animated talking about any topic she’s truly passionate about; long, hot bubble baths; going surf fishing with my dad at dawn; a huge bowl of asparagus drowning in hollandaise sauce; afternoon naps with my honey; shooting hoops with my kid; the smell of fresh cut grass; rainy days with nowhere to go and nothing pressing to do; the way my cat sleeps pressed against my legs; driving the Blue Ridge Parkway at dusk; making meals for friends; pedicures; gleaming hardwood floors; The Office; playing Mahjong on my computer when I’m bored.

Day trips; brand new hardcovers; clean sheets on a freshly made bed; singing in the choir at church; picking up actual prints of my photographs taken with my non-digital 35 mm camera; horseback riding on the beach in Aruba; snakes; the smell of my son’s hair when he’s just out of the shower (even though he’s big enough at 9 to use Axe now!); going shopping alone with a few hundred dollars for my birthday; the smell of a new car; the fact that my own car was gifted to me, is 13-years-old, and still runs really well (gotta love the Lesbaru); other people’s babies; movie night at home with a big bowl of popcorn soaking in real butter; camping; dancing at a club until it closes.

Starbuck’s iced green tea/lemonade unsweetened; getting paid on time; the promise of a dishwasher in my new house; the fact that my darling DPR is refinishing lots of cool furniture for me and is getting rid of the nasty old carpet for me before I arrive; long talks with good friends; catching up on episodes of The Young and the Restless; drawing; the smell of the dryer vent; Las Vegas; her fist inside me; simmering stew on a crisp fall day; reconnecting with old and dear friends; writing.

I think that’s a good start. Pick it up and pass it on, won’t you? I want to know what YOU love!

About Me

I'm a recent transplant to somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line. While mothering my energetic 10-year-old son, I'm also working as a contract graphic designer, freelance proofreader and copy editor, and planning an October 1, 2011 wedding to my anam cara, soul mate, and best friend (they all come rolled into one fantastically hot and ultra-intellectual package). In my rare spare time, I write as much as I possibly can and in several different places. This is the outlet for my erotic bent. Or bent erotica. I have come to love the community of sex bloggers. They are an amazing group of talented and wonderfully supportive individuals. Please come back regularly and be sure to check out my links to spread the love to some of the greatest writers and artists around. Enjoy!
