Let's Play a Game!

Another creative/hilarious blogger I enjoying reading about is playing a game over on her blog and she invited me to play. OK, not just me, but anyone who wants to play. And you all know I LOVE to play games. This one reminds me of Scattergories...

If you wanna play along too, just leave a comment and I will assign you a letter. Then you post about it on your blog and list 10 things that you love that begin with your assigned letter. And you can assign letters to others... and it just goes on and on and on!!! I was assigned the letter "L" so here's my attempt at listing all the things I Love that begin with L. It shouldn't be too hard, right?! {Warning, these are in NO particular order. Except for the first one...}

1. LISTS! I love making lists {and even lists of lists!} Which is probably why this game is right up my alley!! I wouldn't be able to survive without my checklist at the office {or even in normal, everyday life.} I love the act of crossing something off, and have been known to write something down just to cross it off {waste of time? I think not!} It's so refreshing to know you've completed something. AND, the best part about writing it down and crossing it off your list, is that if you have to refer back to your old list later, you can easily see notes/comments/edits you made at the time. I use this A LOT at work. I have this awesome "writing tablet" {I would just call it a spiral notebook, but that is the category it fell under in the Office Depot catalogue} that had 3 different sections for your "to dos." One area is for voicemails, one is for tasks and the other is for meeting notes. LOVE this. And LOVE lists.

2. Listening to my iPod. I love to listen to my iPod, especially when I'm at the gym. However, I wish I had a better selection of music to listen to. I love to download new hits when they come out, but I have a tendency to overplay them. Like the time I overplayed "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield, or "How Will I Know" by Whitney Houston, or "Take Me Home Tonight" by Eddie Money. And while I cringe a little when these songs come on, I can't help but think of my carefree college days when we played these songs at almost EVERY event!

3. Laughing! I mean who doesn't love to laugh? Don't you just love it when you laugh so hard you cry {or maybe even snort?} I love to remember the times when I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. Those are memories for a lifetime!

4. Laying out! There's nothing better than being sprawled out on a lawn chair by the pool on a hot summer's day. I guess that's what you should expect from a summer baby! I've always loved being a little fish in the summer and spending those lazy days soaking up the sun! Oh how I wish my job would allow me to lay poolside and still be productive. Although, on second thought, I don't miss jumping into the freezing cold water at 5:45 am during the summer! Boy I was dedicated. Which leads me to my next love...

5. Lifting weights and working out. OK, so I don't love the actual task of working out, but I love the way I feel when I'm finished. So why can't I be as dedicated now as I was when I was 15? I mean, I should totally be at the gym right now but instead I'm blogging. Which is another one of my loves, but it begins with a "B" :(

6. Licking the brownie bowl. Which is the very reason I need to implement #5 in my life! Licking the bowl could easily be the best part about making brownies. Forget the actual brownies themselves, I could eat the brownie batter all day long! Thanks Mom for always letting me lick the bowl :)

7. Long johns (a.k.a PJs)! I love pajamas! Pajama pants, night gowns, cheeky shorts, matching sets, you name it - I love it! You could give me pajamas for any occasion and I'd be a happy camper. I still have pajama pants that I wore in college that I just can't bring myself to throw away. My clutter-free friends would have a cow if they saw my pajama drawer. You can never have too many pjs!

8. Looking for a good deal. My Mom taught me to be a bargain shopper and now I find it rewarding when I stumble upon a good deal. I've been know to search all over town for the perfect price - and could even be crowned the "Queen of returns" if I find something similar for a better price somewhere else. Who wouldn't want a little extra cash in their pocket??

9. Lounging around. While I LOVE to keep myself busy running around town {looking for the perfect deal,} I also enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the couch with a good movie and a bag of popcorn. I really only need one or two of those days in a row - otherwise I'll get stir crazy and have to fill my time with something productive...like cleaning. YUCK!

10. Leaving on time! I am my father's daughter! We call my Dad "foot tapper" because he's always on time and ready to go! I love to stick to the schedule and if I leave on time, I don't have to be rushed whenever I get there {where ever it is that I'm going!}

So, now that you've seen my "L" list... do you want to play along?? Come on, it's fun!
