7 Things About Me: Some of My Favorite Things

I have been crabby lately so I am going to keep the emphasis on the positive and focus on my favorite things for this round of this meme. I’ve done it a number of times before, but I never did it with this theme, so here goes.

1.I would love to live on a beach (wouldn’t everyone?) I love the sound of the waves hitting the beach and to me it is the most relaxing place in the world.

2.My favorite (wild) animal is the tiger. I love every type of big cat, but the white tigers are so adorable. I love how they do things that remind me of domestic cats and kittens.

3.I’d love to go back to Southern Italy and Capri and spend some time there. I found it to be one of the most beautiful places in the world.

4.I love knit fabric. There are so many gorgeous prints available that I can’t wait to take the class I have coming up on the subject and gain some confidence to start cranking out some great dresses and tops.

5.I love the feeling of an entire day of free time stretched out ahead of me. No worries, nothing to do, just a whole day of unstructured, unplanned time. I find myself to be the most creative when I have no agenda.

6.I actually love being in my (ahem, mid) 30s now. I would never want to relive any previous time period of my life, not that it was so awful, but just that I’ve moved on and learned from the past. I feel so much more at ease with myself and in my own skin now. I’ve learned what works for me and what doesn’t work for me and I’m not afraid to listen to my instincts.

7.Oh geez, after all of that drama, I have to throw in something lighthearted. My favorite coffee is either Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Latte or Skinny White Mocha. I wish we had a Starbucks in our building. I usually only do coffee on the weekends so I’m making do with Sugar-Free Red Bull this morning.

I'm not going to tag anyone specifically, but feel free to play along if you are inspired to do so!

Cute list! Isn't looking on the bright side fun (and usually helpful)? :)

I hope your crabbiness gets better soon. :D

If I were to become a rich woman and inherit a lot of money, I would buy a house on the beach first thing. That is my dream! For now, I'll have to aim at #3. Chris and I have started saving for our bike trip to Italy for 2010. My family comes from Southern Italy, so that will be a treat, to visit the villages where they lived as well as just enjoy the great food and scenery. I'm dying to visit Capri too!!

Hope you are having a better week.

I SO agree with no. 6 and 7! Except that I'm in the over 40 group now. Gosh, I'd NEVER want to be 16 again. Every once and a while though, being 21 in college again just for a day might be fun. Just for a day though. Any longer than that and I might go back to having bad dreams about college officials coming back a year after graduation saying, "We have discovered you really didn't graduate. You missed taking X class." Or whatever silly reason I think of in my dreams.
