My Very, Very Favorites

Gold is my favorite color, if you want sparkly disco eyes you must get Clinique eyeshadow in trust fund. Let me tell you. FABuLOUS!

My favorite books; the Scarlet Pimpernel, because really, Marguerite St Just Blakenly couldn't get much better: beautiful, bohemian, misunderstood - even by her husband- and gets a lovely happy ending. Also These is My Words, also all Jane Austen, but Persuasion! Read it. Read it in the fall, the perfect time for a story about grown up love. Also Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, right before Halloween.

Looking up through flaming leaves at the chalk blue sky. Don't you just want to lick the colors off the whole world right now? They would taste like candy and spices, I know it.

Giving a pull on the basting stitch drawn through the hearts of those I love. Bringing them in like purse strings to hold them for a moment of catch and then release.

The wet blue eyes of my ninety year old friend. My, he is the most beautiful thing I think I've ever seen.

Kings of Leon, yes, like everybody else in the whole world, I know, how mainstream of me. But I like it, that's how I roll.

Liberty Park! If you are in Salt Lake go, it is better than anything. Ignore the $#@& off written all over the children's playground. It adds, darlings, it just adds.

This is embarrassing, my childhood friend's mother. If I'm being honest, she truly is one of my favorite things. I'm sure my feelings are disproportionate to what they probably should be, but there you are.

My gray sweats that make my butt look awful and enormous. Ahhhh. So, so wrong and so, so comfy.

Tomato soup at Paradise Bakery. Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy! If tomato soup was a man I would dance the flamenco with it or, him. And then I would lick the sour cream and garlic hat right off his bald head. Mmmm... note to self: get Dave a sour cream and garlic hat.

Weimeraners, sometimes I want to kill them. But they are handsome and made for autumn. They are also stupid and made for being mad at, but you take the good, you take the bad.

Happy Autumn everybody! Let's not spend our time wishing when everything we need is right here! Now let's go have some fun!
