THiNGS i LoVe...
7. my cell phone. oh yes. sending out over
2,000 text messages a month. filling up my video and photo memory card. downloading fun new ring tones. i cannot imagine a day without it. it's worth being late to have it with me. thank you,
sweet little piece of electronic bliss. you've been with me for 11 years now (well, some version of you... nokia, lg, motorola...) and i wouldn't change a thing.
6. my cat. he's got enough hair for five other animals. but he's adorable. and he's always happy to see me. he cuddles like a dog and comes when you call his name. he's my herbie.
herbie the love bug. even if he is a bully to other cats and loves only me. that's
part of his charm.
5. flip-flop weather. i love fall and early spring. i even enjoy winter for a couple days each year. but please,
oh please, bring on the
flip-flop weather.
4. tequila. be it in margarita form (on the rocks or frozen swirl with sangria, no salt) or straight shots of patron
(chilled, 7-up back, no salt, no lime). many a great night has started with it and it has never done me wrong...
it hasn't hooked up with my friends, stood me up, caused unnecessary drama, forgotten me when it gets married, or made more money than me while doing less work. oh yes. sweet tequila.
3. west village. i haven't been to NYC (yet), but it's still a place i want to live at some point in my life. in the meantime, i'll be spending
most of my free time in dallas, thank you. uptown to be more specific. and west village to be even more exact. the
shops (banana republic, polo, lucky, borders, the nail bar, and gap), the
food (village buger, mi cocina, taco diner, starbucks), the independent-move-loving
movie theatre (the magnolia), the free
parking garage that lets you park there for days without towing or ticketing you... what more could you want from an area? it helps that my dear friend frank lives across the street, providing a comfortable bed to sleep in on my frequent trips to my favorite little corner of texas... only 22 minutes away from my apartment in l-town.
2. my iPod. what did we do for entertainment before these little beauties were in our lives?
music on the go? and
movies too? and your favorite
photos? and
games? hmm. dream come true, i think so. especially when you're waiting for something, like a doctors appointment or an airplane, or a show to start. oh yes, my
iPod classic is my hero.
1. my favorite ring. i wear it on my left thumb and it was a gift from my mother. it's nothing very fancy. just a silver ring with the words
"to thine own self be true" inscribed on it. it's the days when i forget it that i realize how much it means to me. i poke at it a hundred times a day, and when it's not there,
i'm not there.
