Favorites! (Alternate title Best Things Ever in the World)

This week I was asked what my favorite number was, and then the inquirer was completely perplexed that I did not have a favorite number. Is this a thing? Should I have a favorite number? Numbers are numerical (okay, that’s funny), so the favoritism is relevant. My favorite number to weigh – low, my favorite number of cookies – high. My favorite number for money in the bank – uncalculateable.

 Regardless, I do have a favorite Holiday, and it is Thanksgiving. I love being with my family, I love eating yummy food, I love reflecting and giving thanks for everything that we have. I also love that there is no stress of buying presents or trying to open them before you have to leave for the next celebration (thus Thanksgiving over Christmas). I also have a favorite season: fall (completely coincidental that they are at the same time, promise).

 So today I made a list of some of my other favorite things with no real regard to order or ranking or theme or pattern (this is more of an exercise in being less OCD than a blog post I suppose)

 Anyway, here are some things I think are super great!

 Giraffe’s

This one is obvious and needs no explaining. Giraffe’s are awesome. If you don’t get that, then we probably can’t be friends. In fact if this is in anyway surprising to you, I doubt that we ever were friends.

  

 

 

 

Any and all things things that are pink

Take any object, make it pink, it is now 10 times better. Fact.

  

 

 

Super high heels

I don’t know what it is about heels, but I love them. I love them on the shelf. I love them in my closet. I love them on my feet. I love them on other people’s feet. I would totally buy a Dr. Seuss book about them. I could probably write a Dr. Seuss book about them. I like all colors, all fabrics, so long as the heel isn’t gross and clunky. The heel should be slender, much like how legs look when you wear them. There is something powerful about a great pair of heels.

 

Things that sparkle

See pink above and Neon below. Things that sparkle are awesome. Every two year old on the planet agrees with me. If you don’t agree, you should probably go argue with all of them. I for sure think you’ll win J

 

 

Neon

Seriously. Neon anything. If something is neon green or pink I will want it. It could be something I don’t need, it could be something I hate. I will still want it. Double points if it sort of hurts your eyes when you look at it.

Giant fluffy blankets

I don’t really think that this needs to be explained.
So I won’t.

 

  

Pushing my limits

There is nothing I love more than doing something I never thought I could do. I love the exhaustion that comes from pushing your physical limits, I love the mental clarity that comes from overcoming an insurmountable obstacle.

I even love limping and bruises, and wear them as badges of awesomeness. To me a good limp tells everyone “I did something epic this weekend. How was that Real Housewives marathon you watched?”

  My dad’s laugh

 

What can I say. I’m a daddy’s girl and his laugh is one of my favorite things. It makes me smile just thinking about it.

 

 

 

 

Scarves/Boots/Sweaters

 I think I just really like being warm AND fashionable. Not always an easy feat; here's an example of Mr. B rocking a classic fall scarf with a herringbone pattern. He's very photogenic.
