A few of my favorite things...

I wrote this for my Facebook profile and figured I'd post it here (although those that know me know these things).

I love...

...coffee (even better if shared with friends)
...football – especially the Dallas Cowboys.
...the month of October (but only when it’s cool… right now it’s too damn hot!)
...my job (really)
...the smell of Aveda products (just did my hair this morning and I can still smell it)
...music, in general
...jazz, specifically
...the beauty of Joe Williams’ voice, to be even more specific
...and then there's Diana Krall
...my mom; she’s a treasure to me; I’ve always known this, but was recently re-reminded
...to laugh and to hear people laughing (Joni & Eliz)
...people in general
...specifically people who inspire me to be a better me
...honesty and sincerity and people who are who they ARE.
...faithful friends
...hot dogs (that’s a silly one, but it’s true)
...beer (again, much better if shared with friends)
...specifically beer with a fresh lime wedge
...my dad (he’s very likely the reason I love football (and beer))
...traveling (experiencing new places, meeting new people, gaining a broader perspective on life)
...Assisi, Italy (Well, really pretty much all of Italy).
...wine (especially when in Italy)
...a clean house (call me crazy, but I love to clean)
...my faith (the Richness of the Catholic Church)
...peace and beauty and goodness and grace
...simplicity
...Francis, Therese (both the Saint and Enders)
...white (the "non-color")
...Mr. Blue (the book)
