Well, at least one of you loves me. The lovely and talented Courtney tagged me as a creative blogger. The rules? List 7 things I love and then to tag 7 people who will play along. But I’m a rule breaker, mostly because I don’t know seven people who read my blog who also blog.
So I will give you a double shot of things I love. That means fourteen things I love. Here goes:
- Sunrises and sunsets. See yesterday for pretty pictures.
- Fluffly clouds. They totally make me happy. I miss blue skies in the winter months.
- Big open spaces. I miss the expansiveness of country living. I also miss stars. However, I do love the convenience of city living.
- Alan. He’s fun. And so much smarter than me I’m ashamed to admit it.
- Google Reader. It rocks. I’ve mentioned this before
- Music. Right now, I’m still in the Great Music Sort of 2009, but almost done the letter L.
- Sci Fi. What’s not to love? (Other than the rampant sexism of classic-era sci-fi. I don’t love that.)
- My friends and family. They’re pretty great.
- Making stuff that didn’t exist before. I’m not necessarily interested in optimization or security, but I love bringing ideas to fruition. That’s why I have a secret project.
- That I’m mostly winning Shan’s Lenten Challenge. I haven’t done well with the weight training and working out parts this week, but the not eating at restaurants is going quite well, and I’m sure I’ve saved a good chunk of money and I’ve lost about 5 lbs.
- Reading. Maybe I’ll write a post about the people and things I associate books with. I love books.
- I love that I have no idea what The Hills is about. And that I’ve never watched a single minute of American Idol.
- This number. It’s great.
- I’m not sure it’s an “I love…” yet, but I’m really glad that I’m blogging again. I missed it.
So there you are! Fourteen things I love. And possibly one of the most shallow lists I’ve ever produced. Maybe I should have included kittens and bunnies. They’re pretty great as well.

I do, I really do!
I loves my Shannon
