JP ShawFriday Love List: because meg fowler rocks!
Okay for the past few months, six to be truthful which is how long I think I've been blogging. Each and every week (or as often as I can) I've been following Meg Fowler's idea with a list of things I adore. Everything from loving chocolate, my cats, my kids and everything else in between.
This Friday Meg blog's on the things she loves because apparently Oprah has fallen love with a love list. So in honor of my own Friday ritual (and because Meg asked so nicely) she's sweet like you know. I'm posting my out-do Oprah love list here.
THINGS I LOVE SO MUCH MY PANTS ARE TOO TIGHT AND MY EARS BURN CAUSING MY EYES TO WELL WITH EMOTION.
(Like Meg) My parents, married 34 years
My little brothers Superman and Richie-Rich
The way Tas boogies to Treetown
Chris & Sheila for their company
Laughing so hard I almost pee my pants (Good laughter is healthy)
Jake's smile
My Cowboy who has a heart of gold, always supporting me, never giving up on me or my writing
Pepsi in a tall glass with cracked up ice
Without a Trace, CSI, Las Vegas, Movies ... Movies ... Movies
The 24 days I don't have my period
Joanne Fedler and her inspirational wisdom and heart
My friends: Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe & Joey. I love you guys
Baked spaghetti with marble cheese and Parmesan
The Notebook
Listening to Cas play the guitar and sing Metallica off key
Rain on Sundays and how it washes away the grime and smog in Abbey, lifting the weight of glassy gloom and brightening up leaves with its crystal sunshine
Overalls on my two year old. Makes him look like a little old man (too cute)
The glass display with the msn boy and girl in wedding attire we got as a present from Lee for our wedding
Swimming in the ocean with the sun beating down upon my shoulders and the sand beneath my feet
Oprah's wisdom and care for the world around her, humanity and compassion she shows those she works with every day and her sense of responsibility to report not only the fun stuff in life but the stuff that causes our hearts to stop beating every once in a while with horrific reality and her will to make it make sense to us all. (HELL YA I'M SUCKING UP --SHE MIGHT ACTUALLY BEAT US!)
Panda bears (how can something so vicious be so damn cute?)
The (gummy bear) song
My brown crocks
My hipster underwear--too cool
Castle fun park pitch and putt
Playing air hockey and ping pong with my kids in my own home thanks to the Canadian Tire wooden dinner table slash air hockey ping pong table to which I adore (okay I know I mentioned that already) I can't help it, it's just so cool to have one
Hot Wheel cars with bright colors and silver chrome
Curly hair on boys
Ice cream sandwich's from the ice cream man (ding-a-ling-a-ling)
British Columbia Canada (most beautiful place in the world)
Roberto Luongo & Jeff Gordon
The Color Purple (movie and the actual color) both are unique with style
Only having to shave my legs once every two weeks
My cats Thomas and Eddison (cuddle muffin's)
Watching my boys play together without killing each other and driving me nuts
Corey's hair when he wakes up in the morning--sexy beast!
My entire family which consists of over 20 aunts and uncles, a thousand cousins, a million second cousins, and the fact that growing up I never went through feeling unloved
Cultus Lake in the summertime, swimming down by the dock, watching the ripples cast themselves a whirling circle below me as I dangle my toes
Fireworks more than once a year
Halloween and Christmas (my favorite holidays)
Reese Peanut Butter Cups and Cherry Cheese Dessert
Hazel's famous chocolate chip cookies
Writing Friday's Love List
Meg Fowler for her wisdom, humor, sense of style and candid writing (you rock Meg!)

I could go on and on but then I'd be writing until next Friday and never get anything else done. I hope everyone participates and we out do Oprah, though she's pretty thrifty when it comes to ideas. Post your hearts out and remember the month of love is coming so there is lots to love not just on Friday's but every day.
Be grateful we are all here and let life do the rest.
