I got this from my destructive-for-the-greater-good friend Michelle over at Smashgirl. So now I get to tell you all 7 things that I love.
#1: Creativity in every form. Even if I was a ditch digger, I'd find some kind of expressive way to make the ditches my own. Luckily, I'm a designer and get PAID to make things up and invent new ways to connect people and things.
#2: My family. I am one of 9 children and this week I've had my older brother and his two kids down to visit. It reminded me how much family means means to me and to be a little more appreciative of the ones I see everyday as well as the ones I only see rarely.
#3: Good food shared with good friends. Sometimes you "make" your family and a evening with your friends over a good meal can be the best time ever spent.
#4: Books. You have no idea how much I read.....
#5: My sewing room. Messy as it is, this is my place.
#6: The Internet: a stupid as some of the things that are on the 'net are, it also connects people from every corner of the world and let's me answer those tough mom questions like "how do they make peanut butter?" with a quick search.
#7: NPR: What can I say? I'm a a confessed driveway junkie.
