I am going to write a list of things that I love, because it’s Things I Love Thursday. And because I saw Elvis Costello on A Prairie Home Companion tonight, and now I am sad that… it’s over? That I’m not best friends with Elvis? I don’t know what my brain thinks it wants, but making a list will help remind it of what it has.
– Oatmeal with dried cherries cooked in. The cherries get all plump and are sweet and tart at the same time.
– Getting into my bed. No other bed is as perfectly comfortable as mine is.
– A big bowl of yogurt in the afternoon. I like breakfast and my afternoon snack best; lunch and dinner are never as simple and satisfying.
– How clean my countertop looks when it’s all shined up. I recently got some Method brand granite polish/cleaner, so it’s extra sparkly now.
– Smoothies. Today I blended up some almond milk with frozen banana, cocoa, and chocolate stevia drops. Simple and tasty.
– When I’m running and my iPod shuffles to an exciting song and I feel awesome and unstoppable. I have not felt like that this week. (AND I forgot my earbuds today, so I couldn’t even listen to music. Things I DON’T Love Thursday!)
– Summertime. Lately, when I walk out the back door of my house, I imagine what the garden will look like in the middle of July. I’m predicting less snow than we currently have.
– Elvis Costello performing the death scene in ‘The Lives of the Cowboys’ sketch. Best. Thing. Ever. Oh, except now I’ve made myself sad again. Oh well.
