Monica posted her “Bullet Love” a couple weeks ago and asked us what we love, so I am finally getting around to it. Here are some of the things that I love in a bulleted format:

• MUSIC. Life would suck without it. I love listening to it, seeing it played live, everything about it. Everyone’s life should have a soundtrack!
• My friends. They have been with me through some tough times and they truly are the best a gal could ask for.
• Slurpees! Or any kind of slushy drink for that matter. My favorite is coke and cherry mixed, but I also love the Pina Colada flavored ones too.
• Big huge bear hugs and if a kiss on the forehead is thrown in, well I will take it!
• The sound of my kids when they are laughing uncontrollably.
• The beach. God I love the beach - the sound of the waves, a breeze coming off the beach and the smell of salt air is good for the soul.
• Surprises - who does not love surprises? I love being surprised with flowers, or a gift you never thought you would get in a million years, or even just someone’s presence that you did not think you would see.
• Nikon cameras. You had me at Hello!
• Manicures and Pedicures - no woman should go without these, there should be a law.
• Ted Shred’s Surf Wax Candles! THE BEST!
• Amusement parks and roller coasters. LOVE THEM! I could ride roller coasters all day long, every day.
• The way the sun feels on your skin after getting out of the water - that burning feeling that feels so good.
• Someone playing with my hair - it is the best feeling in the world.
• Big, huge, old oak trees!
• Good Steak Fajitas.
• Hearing from friends that I have not talked to in a while and the fact that we still stay in touch!
• Coconut Rum. Oh how I love you coconut rum. You make everything all better!
• FLIP FLOPS! FLIP FLOPS! FLIP FLOPS!
• A guy with a big broad chest and strong hands. *See Bullet Item No. 2*
• Stupid comedy movies - If Will Ferrell is in it - even better!
• Delicious water after an exercise session!
• The Internet - seriously what the hell did people do before the internet?
• Feeling loved and protected.
• Inside jokes - the ones that only you and someone else get and that make you laugh everytime.
• Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshakes - YUM!
• Filet Mignon from a Japanese steak house.
• A good sense of humor in someone and when the get my sense of humor.
• Getting away - it could be a week long vacation, it could be a weekend trip, it could be a day long drive to nowhere - doesn’t matter.
• Coach Bags.
• Camping. I used to do it a lot. I would like to again.
• Gadgets - I am a closet geek and I love electronic gadgets.
• Hearing the words “I LOVE YOU” - you can NEVER hear it enough.
• Organization! I cannot function when things are not organized.
• The Eucalyptus Spearmint Collection from Bath & Body Works!
• A clean house. Seriously…. Seriously!
• Sleeping in when the room is really chilly and you are bundled in blankets.
• Fireworks. I miss seeing them every week during the summer.
• Target - it’s just the best store in the world.
• Floating in a pool on a hot day!
• Christmas - it is my favorite time of year, I mean FAVORITE! - the music, the lights, the trees, the spirit, the presents - ALL OF IT!!! I love it!!!
• Cuddling with my kids.
• Origins Beauty products.
• When the bathroom scale is moving downward…in my favor!

I think that will do it for now. I could keep going, but I am not. How about you? What do you love?

Our conversation in the car on the way home tonight:

KAIDEN:
Mommy, why is it raining so hard?

ME:
It’s a Tropical Storm honey.

KAIDEN:
What is a Tropical Storm, is that like a Hurricane?

ME:
Yeah, Tropical Storms have heavier winds and can turn into Hurricanes.  Those are the kinds of storms that do a lot of damage and make trees fall down and stuff.

ASHTON:
NO MOMMY!  Rain makes trees grow, NOT FALL DOWN!

ME:
I know Ashton, rain does make trees grow, but when storms are bad, trees can fall down.

ASHTON:
NO MOMMY, YOU ARE WRONG!  Rain makes trees grow.  DANGIT, do I have to be the only one in this car to know everything around here?  Don’t talk to me about this anymore MOMMY!  I just can’t take it anymore!

Nothing beats being put in your place and basically being told to shut up and that you are stupid by a four year old!!!

Walked into the bedroom and found the boy sleeping like this… Just about pissed my pants laughing!
