These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

I love the smell of new magazines, freshly cut lawns, wassail in winter,  freshly baked bread, the guys' side of the Hollister store, lemon scented Lysol wipes, summer rain, Calvin Klein's perfume CK In2U for women, a new box of crayons, and orange blossoms in spring.

I love listening to my music so loud that my ears are left ringing.  I love driving with my music turned up as loud as it can go and singing along at the top of my voice.  I love driving fast and over the speed limit when there's no one else on the lonely stretch of road.

I love laying in my bed and watching sitcoms like Arrested Development, Seinfeld, Parks and Recreation, Community, The Office, Modern Family and 30 Rock.  Actually, I love laying in my bed, period.  Maybe that sounds lazy, but it's just so gosh darn comfortable!  I often wish I didn't have to leave it.

I love the mountains of northeastern Arizona.  I love visiting there and sleeping on the trampoline at night.  I love going up into the mountains, sitting in a camp chair, reading a novel and listening to the Aspen trees whisper in the breeze.

I love the smell of campfires.  I love how my sweatshirt smells like smoke after camping.

I love autumn.  I love how the leaves change colors and how the weather cools down.  I love being cold, because I love being able to wear cardigans, coats and scarves.

I love boys that smell nice and wear cologne.  I love getting hugged by these boys.  I love the idea of being in a relationship with one of these boys.  Actually, I simply love the idea of being in a relationship.

I love being nostalgic.  I love reminiscing.  I love thinking back to how things used to be, romanticizing the good and ignoring the bad.  I love remembering my past loves.  Maybe that is masochistic, but I love them.  They will always have a place in my heart.  I love what they taught me.  I love what I learned from the situations and relationships themselves.  I think I just love love.


This post's title came from this song:
