olives of every kind--black, green, purple
the smell of burning leaves in fall
that perfect curve on a baby's body in between the neck and shoulder--you know, the spot that just shouts, "Gobble me up!"
books by Sandra Dallas
books by Barbara Kingsolver
books in general
photos at the photo booth in the mall
the smell of books' pages (the good ones, not the musty gross ones)
when my kids jump out and startle me and it works (hardly ever does, with those eyes I have in the back of my head)
[the experience of, enjoyment of, and creation of] laughter
a good healthy cry
how Phill likes to smack my butt almost every time he walks by me
how Phill falls asleep for at least a few minutes every time he sits on the couch for longer than 30 seconds, and usually with one of our babies in his arms
Monsters, Inc. (Kitty!)
how Savvy silently shadows me throughout the day, taking notes, quietly helping, or begging for cuddles with her big brown eyes
how Jaxon thrives on making us all laugh
how Reed is so fiercely dedicated to fighting "bad guys" in all their forms
chocolate [why have I just now remembered this?]
ordering seafood at restaurants (because I just never make it quite the same at home)
Going out to eat with Phill
a well-timed quote or scripture
cows {I just do, okay?}
fields (of anything--wheat, grass, whatever)
red paint
picking scabs {I know, I know, I know....I'm cringing, too....}
photography books
sitting in Barnes & Noble looking through photography books I don't intend on buying
finding something so good at D.I. that I almost yelp out loud, then clutching it to my chest with crazy eyes so no one will DARE steal it from me....
paper
pens (Pilot, Uni-ball)
cello music
containers
origami cranes, especially when someone else makes them for me
a good lazy day
a good productive day
Saturdays full of cleaning, organizing, playing outside,
smelling like outside, and then going on a date with Phill
(those are really the only kinds of Saturdays I prefer)
the days when it's not quite summer yet, but starting to get that hint of warmth in the air (hope)
cloudy summer days
summer nights
Fourth of July celebrations in Junction, Utah
family reunions
quilts
wooden fences
rusting cars
exploring new places (mainly outside--nature)
barely-blue walls with white trim
people who like to fix broken things just for the sake of making it right again
Scotch tape
picking and eating cherries
vegetable gardens
dahlias
biting my nails when they're really thick, white, gorgeous and SHOULDN'T BE BITTEN
picture frames
campfires
high-class camping (you know, log cabin in the woods, mountain air and hiking)
The Beatles
Muse
some Simon and Garfunkel
cookies from the neighbors
Christmas caroling
rolling down hills
the smell of burning leaves in fall

I love many things on that list too.
Awesome list, makes me wonder what I'd put on my own list.
I couldn't get through it all before my baby started crying. GTG!
PS--you have some weird ones! But I love the weird ones. :)
Best list ever! And I totally need to make myself one just like it.
Well, not JUST like it. I think mine will be a bit different.
mmm, I felt your love for those things just reading them! :D (teehee, cows!)
You're so cool, Lulu. :D
totally compels me to make a list of my own. just makes the world seem bright and clean looking at it this way.
Now that is a pretty long list. But don't be afraid of the Cow one, I know a certain wonderful women who also loves cows. My mom. lol. So if we all copy you, will you be mad. Did not think so.
I also love scotch tape, spring mornings, working outside all day, cookies from the neighbors and so many of those. Great randomness.
Idea stealer. Just kidding, I love it.
