I Love Copying

I am such a copy-cat. I've been wanting to do a list of things I like for a while but thought it would require too much thought. I was afraid I would post it and then remember something really important to add and then I would have to edit the original post. I was afraid of the finality of a single list. So following (copying) Shay I am just going to list a "few" of my favorite things, that way I can feel free to explain a little and add future installments at any time.

• Peanut Butter Anything. In fact, TCBY used to have a peanut butter sauce that I still dream about.
• New Pens. Sometimes a new pen is all it takes to make a bad day better.
• Notebooks and Journals. They have to be ruled and big enough to write in. I prefer spiral bound, but if the binding is not too tight I can make it work. The page has to be just the right size so you don't feel pressure to fill the whole page.
• Artifacts. I love finding old trash. I love looking through prehistoric and historic trash and piecing together life in the past. I love the human connection. It's the recording part I hate.
• Cross County Hiking. I haven't done this in a long time but I love it. Which brings me to my next favorite thing--
• Maps. I love reading maps, I love being the navigator on trips! I love that I can find myself as long as I have a map. Last spring I was on a field visit with some Native Americans and I was the only one of the group who hadn't been to the location before. When we couldn't figure out where we were supposed to be on the landscape I pulled out my map and figured it out. I was beaming with pride, they're the one's who are supposed to be so in tune with nature and find their way around...
• Taking a Shower. My family can attest to this, I am protective of my shower. My shower shapes my attitude for the rest of the day. A shower is a real luxury that gets taken for granted all too often. I'm not saying I shower every single day, but if I decide I need my shower, watch out and don't you dare flush the toilet!
• Library Books. I love the smell, the texture of the pages, and the excitement of getting a well read book from the library.

That's all the thought I can dedicate to this for now. The next list I make will be of things I hate and I guarantee it will be eight times longer. In fact, I think I love to hate certain things, is that possible?
