These are a few of my favorite things…

I was tagged by Leigh at Bitch, Please, who is fabulously snarky and very funny, so go read her blog. But in the meantime, here’s 20 things that I love!

1. Color. I’m probably going to have to say bright turquoise on this one, although it’s a pretty tough pick between that and hot pink.
2. Dessert. Um. Does ice cream with a side of chocolate cake and brownies count as one? The Chocolate Macadamia Ben and Jerry’s I just recently tried is AMAZING.
3. Smell. Oh no. I have no idea what to say. Baking cookies? Lavender? Although slightly sweetened lavender, because it can be a VERY herbal smell which I’m not so much into. Some sort of lavender-rose blend maybe?
4. Flower. Orange tigerlilies, I’m not sure what the deal is but I’ve loved them since childhood!
5. Animal. I can’t pick a favorite animal! Anything cute and fuzzy!
6. Month. September, because it’s my birthday month, and it usually starts to cool down quite a bit, weather wise. In Missouri, it was about the only month of fall we got! (and sometimes, we didn’t even get that…)
7. Beverage. Like Leigh, probably 90% of what I drink is water. I really dislike pop (yes, I say pop and not soda!) because the high fructose corn syrup is crazy on my blood sugar. Strawberry daiquiris are great too!
8. Shoes. Oh lord you know I cannot pick a favorite pair of shoes. I wear the Fluevog Pekoe slingbacks a lot and that is all I will say!
9. Snack. Nothing beats a delicious nectarine! So good. Wish I had one right now.
10. Song. I love the Clampdown by the Clash. And Tribal Connection by Gogol Bordello. Also Paranoia Cha Cha Cha! by the Soviettes.
11. Book. I’m going to say a tie between American Gods and the His Dark Materials trilogy.
12. Fruit. Nectarines, as already mentioned! Strawberries and grapes are a close second.
13. Hairstyle. Short short short. I like mine wavy crazy and full of body but I love a short haircut on almost everyone!
14. Piece/s of clothing. I really love my Target dress and the ruffled skirt from there too; and my peacock tank from Old Navy + the navy Elie Tahari skirt. Beyond that I’m not sure; the summer heat is really sucking my ability to dress well.
15. Stores to shop. Thrift stores! In Joplin the DAV was awesome. I haven’t found anywhere REALLY good here (and haven’t much had the funds to shop yet!) but pretty much thrift stores or hole in the wall, independent boutiques.
16. Season. Fall and Spring, I love the in between seasons and watching everything change…plus that’s usually when the weather is best! Nice, not too hot or too cold.
17. Hobby. I’m going to go ahead and go with sewing here. Does it count as a hobby if it’s also a stream of income? If so, then um. Watching Buffy and playing with my cats. Or yoga. Whatever.
18. Things to collect. I guess you could say I kind of collect shoes?
19. Movie. Oh my. Three four way tie between Moulin Rouge, Fight Club, Iron Jawed Angels, and Serenity.
20. Restaurant. I haven’t had a lot of time to try out the restaurant here, but there’s a really fantastic Italian place called Nonna Gina’s on Main. Love me some Italian food. And Mexican. But I haven’t got to try out a lot of Mexican here yet!

So that’s the list. Fascinating stuff, I’m sure. I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you want to repost it, feel free! Hope everyone’ s having a great weekend so far! (and continues to!)
