Ditto to so many of the same things and I would add for myself, lunch at The Olive Garden.
definitely agree on the back scratch. i would take a good back scratch as a gift on any holiday.
happy V day!
aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! i am SO TOTALLY in agreement with every one of those. with the caviat that i don't have to iron the pillowcases myself. actually, maybe that wouldn't be so bad. as long as i'm listening to michael jackson as i do it.
wv: "pabloph," as in, your list makes me salivate like a dog.
and HAPPY BALENTIMES TO YOU!
Natalie - Yes! Lunch at the Olive Garden.
Lola - A little higher. To the left. Ahhhh. Now to the right...
Sherry - Pillow cases are pretty easy unless you forget to take them out of the dryer until you're ready for bed like I do. When I'm ready for bed, I don't like ANYTHING gettin' in my way.
Great list! I would say that I agree with about 98% of those. Maybe 99%.
Did you forget one? DQ blizzard?!
You're slippin'.
I love a lot of these as well, but mmmmmm, nothing beats the smell of a new book :)
Shawn - How could I forget? Would you believe that falling snow is code for blizzard? Nah, I didn't think so.
Meg: Do you ever open the books in a bookstore and sniff 'em? I consider it a large part of the decision process. Ha! But, in truth, children's books are among the best.
That list is fabuloso. I love all those things too, except grandkids... and I don't think Kevin has ever breathed on my face and said, "Gwamma are you awake?" But that would be pretty funny.
Bean and cheese burritos and blizzards... MMMMM.
obligation fulfilled. :P
there's a tease here. my blog says you've updated, but i don't see the new post. did you sneak one in somewhere, Sneady McSneakerson?
