The bandages are off...

And I'm healing.
I know y'all think I was crazy for being covered in bandaids for some paper cuts, but, seriously, these were deep.
And now, for something that seems pointless and random. 
It's the little things in life.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. :)
See where this might be going?
I really like carrots.  I especially love them with ranch dressing.  (the fatty kind, yo.)

I love the feeling of ice cold water running down my throat.
Things that are shiny or sparkly make me smile.
I really enjoy the new Geico commercials.
Coupons make me giddy.
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is one of my favorite words.  Saying it, writing it, spelling it; it all makes me smile.

I love texture.  All texture.  Even textures and creep me out, I like. 
I love the sensation of touch. 
I love American Sign Language.  If I knew any other signed languages, I'm sure I'd love them too.
I like yawning.
I like scarfs.  Scarves?  The plural of scarf.
I like taking the time to eat M&M's in a color order. (brown, red, yellow, orange, blue, green)
I like to count things.
I like to alphebatize things.
I like shoes.  Lots of shoes.
I love a good cup of coffee or tea.
Sometimes I even like a bad cup of coffee.
I like to face money.  I like to fix all the little folded corners on money.
I love quotes.
I like the word tissue.
I like editing.
I like semicolons; they're so underused.  ;)
I also like the word asterisk.  I love to hear it pronounced correctly.
I love fingerprints.
I like rubber bands.
I like 24 hour time clocks.
I like captions.

These are a few of my favorite things.


Any transition serious enough to alter your definition of self will require not just small adjustments in your way of living and thinking but a full-on metamorphosis.
