1. Sinking my toes into the sand at the beach (More specifically, in the Outer Banks, NC)
2. Hearing Andrew say, “Thank you, Mommy!” on his own
3. My DVR (How did I *live* before I had it?) :)
4. Fall
5. Listening to Christmas music in October and putting up our tree in early November
6. Stretching out in bed
7. Being “big” pregnant–I am tall and have a long torso, so I don’t really get uncomfortable, even toward the end. God has blessed me with two really good pregnancies. I don’t even get morning sickness!
8. C-sections and the subsequent hospital stay (no joke)
9. Party food (spinach dip, sausage balls, nachos)
10. Going out to eat (without my kids)
11. Clean floors!!!
12. Text messaging
13. Good hair days
14. Backrubs
15. Not finding out the sex of my babies. There is nothing quite like that anticipation.
16. Cracking my knuckles. I can’t help myself. Bad habit? Maybe. But I have done it since I was a kid and could never stop. Plus I don’t want to.
17. Sleeping with lots and lots of pillows
18. Driving down the road by myself on a perfectly wonderful spring or fall day with my windows down, singing loudly to 90s music
19. Beth Moore Bible studies
20. Gap blue jeans (maternity or regular–they’re all great)

I’m a little choked up that you mentioned Mentholatum. That has been one of my staples since I was a little girl. Most of my friends can’t stand the smell, and mock me for using it. So the fact that it makes someone else happy….makes me happy. Gotta go now, and watch my most fave, “The Office!”

Oh, I could give you a list but right now I am in complete shock at #22. I thought I was the only one!!!!!

Burned daily, it will last until it is exactly time (the day after Thanksgiving) to buy the Christmas scent.
