oh boy, I’m being random again


I thought I’d share some stuff I like because I’m in a moody mood and I figured it’d be a good reminder for me to, you know, think about some things I like.

  • I like the feel of an oscillating fan on a really hot day. It reminds me of my childhood in my grandparents’ house. If it’s hot, and night time, and a fan is on, I will fall asleep in a drunken stupor from the drone of the motor and the soothing pass of the not-quite-cool air.
  • It’s spring here and that means I’m having a time with the allergies. It’s not a good time. Still, the amazing scent of flowers everywhere is so sweet and delicious. We’re going to wipe out some out of control shrubbery soon, and I hate to say it, but I’m going to be a little sorry to see it go — there’s a bunch of honeysuckle tangled in that mess and it smells heavenly.
  • I’m not too grown up to take a nap in the middle of the day. If there’s milk and cookies after, it’s even better. Especially if they are chocolate chip cookies.
  • Bubble baths are an under-appreciated commodity. I will indulge myself very soon.
  • I like good books, good wines, good friends, and good conversation. If I could have a good wine with a good friend while conversing about a good book I’d be set.
  • I like hugs.
  • I like sunsets. I like sunrises more.
  • I like to hear the crash of waves on the shore when it’s dark and you can’t really see the water. It never quite sounds the same — and yet it does.
  • And I like the aroma of freshly-brewed coffee. D’oh.

Spring is here
and in the midst
of raging storms
the sun will shine
upon us, dear
as if the world
were quite upright
and time were
standing still.
