23 Random Things I Love

23 days until I turn 40.    The countdown continues as we get closer and closer to August 3^rd.  I love many things and thought it might be fun to share some of them with you.

 Here are 23 random things that I love:

1. Peanut Butter:  I don’t eat it that much but I sure do love it!!
2. Diet Coke:  Actually I now drink Coke Zero Vanilla because all things are better with vanilla added
3. Frozen Yogurt:  I worked at a frozen yogurt shop in high school and was addicted….still love it
4. Running shoes:  Running is important to me and the right running shoes is critical ….and a fresh new pair makes all the difference
5. People magazine:  Yes I actually get this delivered to my house and I read it cover to cover.
6. Bookstores:  You can find me in the business section, or the psychology, or the running, or the diet/food section, or the….you get the idea
7. Calendars:  I love schedules and planning.  In my home, I have 4 wall calendars hanging up at the moment plus my business planner and a few others.   I REALLY love a fresh new calendar and a new year.
8. Plants:  I love plants.  I have some on my front porch right now that make me happy each time I drive up or sit outside and enjoy the 100 degree temps.
9. Don Jose’s:  My favorite little Mexican restaurant in Wichita Falls.  The building is old and I have been told it was a gas station for many years and then a Dairy Queen.  They serve a fabulous Strawberry Margarita and the best White Queso around.
10. Pelican’s:  Now while we are talking about food…this if my other favorite place.  It is where I love to eat for a nice dinner, a celebration, my birthday, or just any reason.  Fabulous steak. Great sautéed mushrooms….be sure to get the sautéed ones, not the fried ones.  Wonderful endless salad. And the best grilled veggies too.  YUM.  I am getting hungry!
11. Lip stick and lip gloss:  Just checked in my purse and 2 lipstick shades and 3 glosses….that is a low amount.
12. Pen, pencils, highlighters and sharpies:  Also just checked in my purse and found 3 highlighters, 4 pens, 3 sharpies, and one mechanical pencil.  Yes Office Depot loves me!!  In fact, I think I could open my own branch here in my home office.
13. 3.99 tank tops from Walmart:  great for running, and painting, and lots of things.  I think I own 10 of them.
14. Baths:  I take a bath almost every night.
15. Criminal minds:  Yes I watch this show, and have seen 99% of all of the reruns.  And yes I was watching too many of them at one point and ended up having a few nightmares.
16. Wicker porch chairs:  I have a wonderful wicker set.  I was very upset when someone decided to steal the love seat portion from my front porch a few months ago.
17. Leather:  All things are great in leather….purses, shoes, planners, journals, couches, etc.
18. “Iced venti Americano with the shots poured over the ice and room for cream”:  even better when I can walk in to my local Starbucks and they already know what I want and I don’t have to say it.
19. Patsy Cline songs:  I love Crazy and Walking After Midnight and many others
20. iPhone and iPad:  I am in love with these 2 items….no need to explain.
21. Paper: I love paper….all kinds.  Again, I could have my own Office Depot here at my home (see #12 above)
22. Facebook:  I teach about Facebook, use Facebook, my company exists due to the power of Facebook.  What is NOT to love?
23. Hearts:  I have always loved hearts, and can remember using a heart outline on my poems that I wrote in high school.  I have had hearts in each of my logos for my businesses since the very beginning in 2005.  I have a heart in both of my tattoos.  I just started painting hearts.  I love hearts.
