10 Current Loves (Updated)

                With experiencing so many new things, like having our own home in a nut shell, I find myself proclaiming "I LOVE ______" more and more! Some are things I have taken for granted most of my years and some are new things that now leave me wondering how I lived without these things everyday. It is here I wish to proclaim my love for these things, maintain a Top 10 list and update them and their order according to my love and appreciation of each thing. With the constancy of new experiences I expect them to change quite frequently.

1. Husband: He loves "30 Rock" maybe as much as I do.

2. Water: So VERSATILE! It keeps my plants happy, keeps me hydrated and glowing, and I find myself
               showering a lot more, so I am very grateful for water.

3. Air Conditioning (in both the car and house): It was over 100 degrees multiple days last week...enough
               said. Also...we have leather seats in our car...would be a little ickier if we didn't have A/C.

4. Pyrex (of ALL shapes and sizes): Definitely moving up in my list! I am amazed at the PYREX world, and
               am slightly feeling myself becoming obsessed...we'll see if in a year's time I have every type of
               pyrex piece made to date...could be trouble. (I am definitely struggling to decide on whether I love
               pyrex or air conditioning more...THAT'S how much I love pyrex!)

5. Things with lids: This is an all-inclusive love I am discovering. I am in LOVE with/may have a strong
               attraction to anything that has a matching lid to it. Coming to mind, our melamine mixing bowls with
               matching lids, pots and pans with matching lids, and of course....PYREX. They all have matching
               lids! For storage in the fridge, for keeping leftovers! Even the 9x13 in baking pans! I am head over
               heels! *sigh*

6. Queen Bed: I love our bed and I have my own side! (Kuddos if you can guess my side) However, it has
               moved down from position 4 because I am bothered by how compelled I feel to make it everyday,
               sure makes the room look prettier!

7. Food Processor: Again so versatile! (Just as the woman who gifted me the money to buy it said it would
               be.) Thus far I have created guacamole, hummus, bread crumbs, and the crust and filling for
               pumpkin cheesecake bars all in this wonderful machine.

8. Make-Up: This is a new one on the list... Those of you who I told about my family trip to South Carolina        
              a couple of summers ago will recall my major complaint of the South, is that "I am ugly there." My
              beautiful curly hair loses it's cool (pun intended) and my skin goes through a period of adjustment.
             This morning, after days of feeling not my usual gorgeous self, I have rediscovered my love for  
             make-up!

9. Cook Books/Foodnetwork.com: Such a huge world of cooking out there! And I love looking at the
              pictures of final products. Also, never knew recipe reviews would be so helpful, I am amazed that
              people take the time to review recipes.

10. Cooking Tongs: Perhaps the most diverse of the cooking utensil family, I love tongs! You can use them
             for pastas, salads, grilling...not to mention how cool they look and how fun they are to use.
