Things I Love

This post will have nothing to do with the people I love. The people I love know that I love them, so to blog about it would be redundant (this won't stop me around the holidays). So let's cover the things I love. The things that bring me joy in ways that generally aren't possible for inanimate objects. Let us begin:

1.  Project Runway--I love this show. It has taught me terms like ruching, plait, and gusset. It also makes me feel like I am in the know when I agree with Michael Kors that a design looks "slutty, slutty, slutty". Happiness.

2.  Music from TV Commercials--I am one of the first of my friends to hunt up any blurb of music I hear while someone tries to shill toilet paper. To wit:   I  bought the song The Story by Brandi Carlile. Why? It's in a GMC commercial airing during the Olympics. 

3.  Apple computers--yep, I'm that girl. I love a good Apple. I used to have a delightful little IBM laptop. Nice, but I could take it or leave it. And then I met Apple. And now I'm committed. 

4.  YouTube--I have watched a ridiculous number of videos on YouTube.  It was a minor obsession that has now turned into a daily check of anything "new on the tube".  I've watched 1,123 videos. Time I'll never get back. That's okay. 

5.  Books--broad but true. If I find a book I love I will read it over and over again. It truly makes me happy to revisit old favorites and remember why I love them. Books like Anne of Green Gables, Rebecca, Jane Eyre, and The Secret Garden never leave my shelves. And opening them is like taking a call from an old friend. Yes, I know how it will end. But it doesn't make the ride any less interesting. 

So, five things that I love. And now I leave it to anyone who might be reading this:  tell me what you love. Whatever brings you joy and happiness. Share.
