So I will give you a double shot of things I love. That means fourteen things I love. Here goes:

1. Sunrises and sunsets. See yesterday for pretty pictures.
2. Fluffly clouds. They totally make me happy. I miss blue skies in the winter months.
3. Big open spaces. I miss the expansiveness of country living. I also miss stars. However, I do love the convenience of city living.
4. Alan. He’s fun. And so much smarter than me I’m ashamed to admit it.
5. Google Reader. It rocks. I’ve mentioned this before
6. Music. Right now, I’m still in the Great Music Sort of 2009, but almost done the letter L.
7. Sci Fi. What’s not to love? (Other than the rampant sexism of classic-era sci-fi. I don’t love that.)
8. My friends and family. They’re pretty great.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Reading. Maybe I’ll write a post about the people and things I associate books with. I love books.
12. I love that I have no idea what The Hills is about. And that I’ve never watched a single minute of American Idol.
13. This number. It’s great.
14. 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.
