My favorite things.

Okay, the rain, day after day is really bumming me out! So I am taking the advice of a good friend and writing about my favorite things in the hopes that it will cheer me up!

1. The Ocean. I was able to enjoy my birthday dinner at the beach. It is so nice to be driving distance. I feel immediately relaxed when I have a chance to walk in the sand and hear the ocean or put my feet in surf and smell the salt in the air. I love boardwalks and little beachside shops. It makes me feel like I am on vacation even if only for a few hours.

2. Ann Taylor Loft. I probably need to branch out but most of my clothes come from there and I feel good in them.

3. Oreo Cakesters. Mmmmmm.

4. Red wine and strong coffee. Especially when enjoyed with a good friend.

5. Taking pictures and scrapbooking them. It is my creative outlet.

6. Kentucky. It is where I grew up and so much a part of making me who I am. I love UK basketball, the Kentucky Derby, and I know the words to My Old Kentucky Home.

7. Exploring Big Cities. I really enjoy experiencing the culture and character of cities. A couple of my favorites are Boston and San Francisco. I really really want to visit New York!

8. The Deadliest Catch. Mostly I am glad that I am not the one crab fishing in 20 below weather.

9. Dancing to 80's music with my kids.

10. 75 degrees and SUNNY!!!
