a list.

-diet cherry coke zero is the only soda i can drink out of a can {and pretty much the only soda i can stand at this point}.

-i love my baked potato with butter, salt & pepper, cheddar cheese, and red onion {and lots of all of it}.

-i love stocking my pantry with new toilet paper, paper towels and paper plates {it's weird, i know}.

-i love a quiet evening with my hubby on the couch with a favorite series until midnight.

-and he looks really good in a suit. really good.

-i love to hear birds chirping in the rain.

-ice cream is best enjoyed when i know i shouldn't be eating it {cause that's pretty much always in my case}.

-i have a horrible time putting clean laundry away.

-i have a strange joy in putting dirty dishes in an empty dishwasher {again, not so much fun unloading the clean dishes}.

-christmas is most definitely my favorite holiday.

-spring and fall my favorite seasons.

-i think about wallowa lake and how bad i want to be there 12.7 times a day {or something close to that}.

-i smell my europe trip {mostly england} every time i walk through our neighborhood target's parking lot {and i have no idea why}.

-it's almost impossible for me to keep my eyes closed in the shower.

-i spend way too much time thinking about things i can't control.

-i've never been concerned about my hair {except the first time i got bangs and a perm in middle school - oh my gosh - sweet nightmare - mom, why?!}.

-i feel the need to accomplish something big...and then quickly realize i already am by living my life. quite simple, really.

-i can't can't wait to go to [south] africa someday. i want to go now. or tomorrow would be good too. i just hurt to want to love on God's beautiful people.

-i'm a bit terrified to go through potty training again. not too sure why it's so intimidating. but i know she's ready, so here we go...

-and why are they still making shrek movies? just curious.
