Things I love

[DCJenn]

We haven't done this in a while and with all of the people moving and setting up house and home (again) I thought we should all think of a few things that we absolutely will not live without.

Re: Things I love

OK-

I will start:

1) The LLBean dog collars with name and address sewn into the collar. It's great because I have an escape artist and I don't have to worry about her tags getting caught on fences and the like. (I keep the rabies tags on the leash for safe-keeping)

2) Mary Kay tinted moisturizer/sunscreen. Love the stuff, especially here in South Texas

3) http://www.greenling.com local, organic foods delivered to my door. If you're in Austin or nearby- check them out. Today's "local box" contained: about 3 pounds of carrots, bibb lettuce, romaine lettuce, a butternut squash, okra (at least a pound), three limes, cucumbers, beets, fennel, cabbage, flat leaf parsley, shallot shoots, leaks, two huge tomatoes. The "artisanal box" contained: fresh cheese, a half dozen eggs, two croissants from an Austin bakery, two fresh chocolate chip cookies (same bakery), and a loaf of ciabatta bread.

4) my Dyson (you knew he'd make the list)

and 5) Swifter dusters. Yes, I know that they aren't environmentally friendly but I've been living with an unpaved street for a year and they're the only thing that has been successful in getting up the layers of dust and ick.

Re: Things I love

I'll have to think about this, but off the top of my head, in no particular order:

1. My Keurig coffee maker, I think I first heard about it here from Trisha. DH and I both LOVE it, and we no longer waste coffee because it was too old.

2. My OXO Salad Spinner from Williams Sonoma. That thing is absolutely wonderful. I am sure I have saved a fortune by not throwing out lettuce because it sat too long in the refridgerator. It works for other veggies too.

3. My Dyson, I have two dogs, two cats, need I say more?

4. Line of credit at Home Depot and Lowes!!!!!

Re: Things I love

FOOD- I just love food. I love to eat. It will be a problem of mine till the end of time. I love good food. Hell, I even love mediocre food. Yes, I have eaten too much of some things that I don't even particularly love.
-Confessions of a food addict

Adventure - I love the adrenaline rush of doing something new and maybe even a little scary. From clliff diving and river rafting to golf and amusement parks, ballroom dancing and cooking, I like to experience a ton of different things, and I am up for almost anything once.

My kids - They are the best people in the world, and I am proud to be their mother.

My husband - He's my best friend. What can I say?

TiVO - Yup, there's my huband, kids, food, and TiVO, which is the best invention ever second to...

High speed internet - What the hell did I do before the internet??

Re: Things I love

I'm going to steal part of Alison's list.

I lurve my German vacuum. It is near instant gratification for cleaning the house. Not German w/d but I was just thinking the other day how nice it is to have a washer and dryer and one that works so well at that.

I have been dreaming of Hawaii, especially with this crappy weather. The stuff of many a daydream.

Now I am craving Vietnamese food! I don't have dinner plans but now I think I am going to make a Vietnamese grilled chicken and spring rolls. The kids love rolling their own.

Re: Things I love

Now that we've had to move so many times this year, I've got this list down pat.

1. DH and the girls of course
2. Cable and our DVR. I don't have the DVR where we're currently at and I'm miserable. Live TV SUCKS! I hate commercials and not being able to watch my shows when I'm good and ready.
3. High speed internet
4. Pizza stone from Pampered Chef. I use that thing for everything.
5. Call me vain, but I need the whole palette of all my eyeshadows (there's 16 different colors), makeup brush set, skincare products, and rest of my makeup bag that has eye and lip liners, lipglosses, lipsticks and mascara.
6. My favorite strapless convertible Victoria's Secret bra.
