Thirteen Things I Absolutely Love

1. Elvis Presley. I remember telling a neighbor girl I was friends with, that people who were born the year that Elvis died were cursed. She believed it.
My favourite Elvis song, That’s Alright Mama:

2. Eeyore, and in particular, Classic Eeyore. I’m trying to learn to be more positive and less, erm, gloomy, but there will always be a part of me that relates to Eeyore.

3. When Solomon, my African Grey Parrot, says to me, “Can I have a kiss? Mwah Mwah Mwah!” As much as he can try my patience sometimes, when he says that — my heart just melts.

4. Bugs. There are a few exceptions, namely, cockroaches, but I love all the colours, sounds and behaviors of bugs.

5. Mary Jane style slipper socks. For the past few seasons they’ve been super trendy and in all of the stores. I can’t get enough of them!
6. The art of Juli Adams. We first saw her work at an an arts festival here in Kalispell, and I immediately fell in love with her paintings. We bought a print that day, but I’d love to purchase an original.

7. I love to bake. It’s odd that I don’t like to eat most of what I like to bake. I don’t have much of a sweet-tooth, and while I like bread, I don’t eat a lot of it.

8. Binders, page protectors and divider tabs. I also love Sharpies, Papermate felt-tipped pens and highlighters. Oh, and red, Swingline staplers, automatic pencil sharpeners and three-hole punches. I guess I just love Staples and Office Max.

9. This should be a given, but I lurve cats. I may love them, but I need another like I need a hole in the head. Five is more than enough for me.

10. Applebee’s Bruschetta Burger! I could eat those all day, everyday!

11. I can never have too many sets of stationary, note cards and cute envelopes. I don’t know why I haven’t gotten into card making or stamping. I should start that hobby, just so I can have the cute correspondence stuff!

12. Orchids, lilacs, roses and dahlias. Those are all of my favourite flowers.

13. I love most anything to do with the ocean. My dream home would be Monterey Bay Aquarium. Sure, I know it’s not a house, but I’ll bet I could make it one!
