13 Random Things I Love

Thirteen Random things I love:


I saw this on the NABLOPOMO site, and thought what a good idea. I love all sorts of random things. People WANT to know! Not really, but it is MY blog. SO here goes.

1) Nor' Easter Snow Storms. I LOVE snow, and the more, the merrier...sure I refuse to run the snow blower (it freaks me out!!), but ANYWAY, snow is so pure and I love the smell and everything about! It makes me giddy when I see snow falling!

2) Over-sized Mugs. I always loved the ones I saw on "Friends", and so I found some similar and I found cool ones that were so original, I love to collect them! I love to make like a triple size hot chocolate and drink it from these massive mugs. And now, after Sam's birthday pottery fun, I HAVE the biggest mug EVER!! Oh I will have to pe presentable and take a pic of me with it. SO big....Sam put it on as a hat yesterday...germy lil punk!!

3) Splenda Quick-paks. Since my WLS, I can't have regular koolaid, which I love (cherry, orange and pink lemonade yeah!) and I loathe the Sugar-Free brand, so these lil packs and a koolaid pack made me koolaid in seconds! No more having to measure a whole cup of Splenda, this is the same size as a Koolaid pack, it's condensed Splenda!! Only available now on the website! Sad, but I still buy it that way...much cheaper since all 5 of us drink it and go through at least 2 pitchers a day!

4) TV Guide. And I have a subscription, so I get it before anyone else! And I can read what will happen on my shows and I cackle. heeheehee. Other people have to wait like another 5 days and I have it here at my grubby fingertips!!

5) Limewire. Yeah like I BUY cd's anymore. Okay for a few specific bands, like Superchick, YES. But when there is only a song or two I like by someone or it's someone I am giving a "try", Limewire lets me have my songs...for free! I love it! I hear a song on One Tree Hill, like Kate Voegele singing the song "Hallelujah" (a song I love!), and BAM, I download it, and it's on my IPOD!



6) House. Hugh Laurie as Gregory House never fails to make me smile and laugh. Even on really bad days, if I watch an episode of House, I feel a little lighter inside when he does a House thing or says one of his fabulous House-isms. Even when he is at his most "obnoxious", he makes ME laugh and love him all the more. Don't even think of slammi' on House here...I am a devout fan...and would marry this so-called "foul man" in a heartbeat...SURE he is fictional...but none the less, HE ROCKS!!

7) Baby Powder. I know others will not get it, but I LOVE it. I use it every day. I have perfume that smells like it, incense oil that smells like it. It is one of my favorite smells!! It is so comforting and pure. I just adore the smell, and it is silky smooth. What a great invention. Oh and Johnson's & Johnson's ALL the way. I hate using generic!!

8) Archie Comics. Though the Betty & Veronica Digests are my first choice, I have been a fan forever. I read my first ones because my Dad still has a bunch of comics, not in the best shape, from his youth. And I fell hard for the never-ending saga that is Archie, Betty and Veronica. That is basic bathroom reading in this house. There are Archie (or whoever) comics in every bathroom. Sure, they recycle stories, so strips from the 50's are in ones I buy now, but I love the old ones too! Betty was quite the schemer in the older ones too! She is more nice now, still some schemes, but more so in the older ones. LOVE it!!

9) Frizz Ease. It is the only product I use in my hair. Just for the flyaways. I don't DO products. The only time I sometimes use a product is when I cut the back of my hair SO it is spiky and then I use Bead Head manipulator (mmm coconut). Anytime else, just Frizz Ease...and that's only been for the last 6 months! I don't DO anything with my hair. I don't flat-iron, curl, etc. Please the only time I use a hair dryer is during the WINTER, because I freeze to death otherwise! I am a natural girl...in regards to hair upkeep. (This does NOT include my awesome Redness). I wouldn't even know what to do with REAL product. I hate to feel anything IN my hair, so it's best this way. Please, my Mom cuts MY hair. I don't pay someone to lop off a straight line of hair. And she even gave me the cute shortie 'do I rocked this past summer. Yeah, she rocks.

10) Vans. no not the car type, the sneakers! They are super comfy and I like how they look. They aren't ols ladt looking or just LAME. They have spunk. I don't care that they are "skater" shoes, they feel good! And even the plain black ones I have this year, I rocked with BRIGHT turquoise laces...yeah I am SO creative. LOL!

11) Scarves. Not the cold weather kind, well, unless they are really long and not BIG fluffy, but the kind you wear just because. I wear them (I have like 12) with jeans and a tee. Here is the kind I mean...not the drapy business suit kind. The artsy, cool kind. Well I find 'em cool, so there!

12) Lip Balms. I hate lipstick, but lip gloss/balm is my friend. I collect them...half I don't use but would NOT give away. I have 100's. Lip Smackers' in Dr. Pepper is my fave, a hint of color and that yummy smell of soda! Nuetrogena MoistureShine Lip Sheers are cool too. I love balms that give "hints" of color. I am not big on loads of color on my lips, I don't think it looks good on me, but sheer stuff suits anyone. And I love my MeetMARK Lip "markers", that's what they look like, they were discontinued, but you basically color your lips, and depending on how much you put on, depends on the color. So I do sheer again. Kinda like lip stains which I also have the Revlon ones.

13) Pens. Specifically, the pens they have at doctors offices, with the Drug they are touting. I get a little clepto whenever I go to a doctor's office, and get quite pissy when they have no good ones. And what is really distressing?? Starting in 2009, drug rep's can't give stuff away anymore. My Mom, nurse remember, is so mad. She loves the fact that she gets pads and pens and monitor wipers in the shape of birds. I don't see what the big deal is. They are SO wrong in thinking that bribery will make someone buy their drug if it sucks. GIMME my pens!! I NEED THEM! It's a sickness!!

Okay so I am starting a tag. But I wil make it less painful to give, you just have to tag 3 people!!

I have a thing for blistex. But it has to be in the chapstick form.

Donna said...

I love Nor'Easters too. They always excite me unless I have to drive in one. And I too love Archie comics, especially Betty & Veronica, and I'm addicted to lip balms. You've got some good tastes, girl!
