- My iPod. It is my life. Seriously. I think of the days when I used to carry around my huge case of CDs and my gaudy CD player and shudder. I bought a new Classic in December after my old 4g iPod died. It was one of the saddest days of my life. I still have it. I still cry sometimes. Most days though, I am able to put on a brave face and make it through.
- My Cell Phone. Right now I have an LG Rumor. It pretty much sucks. I had a Razr for 3.8 seconds and exchanged it for the Rumor. While I have made stupid mistakes in my life, that one is right up there with turning left in front of a Ford Expedition. Ouch. That's a whole other blog right there.
- Books. I am an avid reader. I teach 7th Grade English so I am pretty sure that loving to read is a prerequisite. At any given time I have 3 or 4 going. I also use my iPod to listen to books.
- Coffee. In my world, coffee is liquid gold. I love it. I need it, and if I don't get it, it sucks to be you if you have to spend any amount of time with me.
- Scrapbooking. I love to travel and it is so much fun to basically re-live a vacation through scrapbooking. It is nothing for me to spend ten hours at my local LSS (Local Scrapbooking Store), Pages in Time scrapping all of my adventures. It is a great way to get away from everything. You see, when you crop, you have to think only about what you are doing. It's the perfect getaway.
- Makeup. I am in no way, shape or form a beauty queen, but there is something about the pretty colors that come in pretty packages that make me want to grab it all up. My weaknesses are eye-makeup and lip gloss. As a general rule I don't like foundation or lipstick - I don't like how they feel, so I stick with powder and a plethora of gloss. In the past year I have discovered high-end make-up and my bank account has been sobbing quite loudly ever since. MAC is my crack. Cover Girl was my gateway drug.
- Cooking. I am a foodie. I love food. I love to cook. I love to eat. Cooking is not something I get to do nearly enough. When I do, I try to find classic recipes; recipes that everyone likes. Recently I cooked eleven meals for my best friend so she would have quick and easy meals for her family once she had her baby. Man, I had a blast. I made the menu, handed her a shopping list and got to work. The best part? She did the dishes.
- I saved the best for last. I wouldn't be who I am today without my awesome network of friends and family. It is so important to me to know that I am surrounded by amazing people who love me and accept me for who I am. People who, even if I royally screw up, are still there for me when it counts.
