A Few Good Things...

I was searching through my pile of books the other day hoping to find A Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing (this is a great book!). In my search I found an old journal - well not that old, I'd say five/six years. At that point in my life, for some reason, I started to keep track of things that made me happy. It's sort of fun to look back on it and remember certain people, albums, books, etc.

I'd like to share a few of my "favorite things" and will continue to post randoms along the way. I am reciting this list word-for-word from my journal. I'd love to hear what makes you smile, so please share with me and the four other followers.

Thanks for reading and continue to eat chicken.

20 Favorite Things:

  1)  Rainy days

  2)  Arrested Development TV show

  3)  Making people laugh

  4)  Someone complimenting me...and maybe vice versa, you know, depending on the person

  5)  Unfortunate things happening to certain people, like a bitchy girl in heels falling in front of a large crowd...and someone points and laughs...and then her boyfriend breaks up with her...and he sees me laughing and realizes I'm totally the girl he wants to date...and then we point and laugh at her together...total bliss

  6)  Beer and a great conversation - hopefully outside on a breezy night. A night where I can wear a sweatshirt or hoodie

  7)  My dog sleeping on my chest; her nose in my neck

  8)  No zits and a good hair day

  9)  Kjell's laugh

  10)  Getting money back from taxes

  11)  Amber's impression of Ezra [dog]

  12)  Thanksgiving dinner with my family, especially more turkey for dessert

  13)  Dad's inability to remember movie titles or actors, i.e. Victor Stallone (not Sylvester) or The Little Whorehouse in Texas (not The Little Shop of Horrors)

  14)  Campus Ladies TV show

  15)  Ice cold water

  16)  Blair laughing at one of my jokes/stories

  17)  Talking to my grandmother and swearing because she can't hear me

  18)  The smell of laundry

  19)  Scandals - entertainment or political

  20)  Finding people who watch The Fifth Element over and over again and never get sick of it

I wish I could marry a "Little Lion Man"

Tennille: I suggest you grab your car keys, bus money or iTunes card and purchase Sigh No More by Mumford & Sons right this minute. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Reader: But, Tennille, what kind of music is it? I don't want to buy it on your suggestion only. Remember, you made me go see Watchmen and The Men Who Stare at Goats. How can I trust you?

Tennille: Great question Reader. I agree a few of my suggestions have been rather sketchy. But remember when I told you to see Lars and the Real Girl? And what about Once? I think I remember you saying you enjoyed it. I also remember telling you Tom Hanks' best role was in A League of Their Own...despite how stupid the movie is. Another famous recommendation was Mars Attacks! You didn't really understand it, but I know you would have if you were me.

Reader: Ah, I really liked A League of Their Own. Are you making fun of it?

Tennille: That depends...if I said yes will you buy the CD?
