Stuff I Like

Ilinap · November 7, 2013 ·


I think it’s only fair to rattle off a list of things I like. I did, after all, complain about stuff I just don’t like earlier in the week. I’m nothing if not fair and balanced, so here goes. These are things that bemuse me or make me go mmmmmm….

The library — Lordy, I do love me a public library. All those books. For FREE.

Pencil skirts –  I can’t get enough. 

Neil Diamond – I’ve seen him concert 8 times. Don’t judge. Save the judging for the 3 times I saw Barry Manilow in concert.

Silver hoop earrings – Nothing beats the simplicity. Perfect with jeans, a shift, a cocktail dress, shorts and a T-shirt, swimsuit.

I’m Not Really a Waitress – not OPI’s most popular shade for nothin’. My dream job is to be a nail polish color namer.

Good Luck Charlie – I admittedly watch this even when my kids aren’t around. 

Slipper socks – I can’t have enough pairs. Deal calls them “slocks.”

Smoked buffalo mozzarella cheese – I get it from Capri Flavors, a local Italian market. It’s a good thing the market isn’t closer to my house.

Play-Doh – So many vivid colors!

Movie theater candy – Sour Patch Kids, malted milk balls, Goobers, Milk Duds, Twizzlers!

Born boots – The perfect marriage of comfort and style? I’m in. I’ve been coveting Jacey. 

L’Occitane hand cream – Positively decadent. 

So tell me, what are a few of your favorite things? Cone of safety here. No judge zone.

    Favorites: Chocolate covered raisins; Southern Comfort egg nog; strong legs on a long bike ride; slipping in behind my warm wife between cold sheets; hearing my grandkids yell “Papa” when they see me coming.

    You had me at library and I found myself nodding through the entire list. I also love egg nog, dark roast coffee swirled with icy cold half and half, vintage beauty books, Land’s End Starfish pants, real ink pens, exquisite french writing paper, friendly’s peanut butter sauce…
