10 Things I Love

10 on Tuesday

Of course I love my family and Sean, but the topic is 10 "things" so I'm skipping people.

10. Riding public transportation. I can zone out so easily, and I often get my best ideas on the bus.

9. Reading magazines. I used to love reading novels too, but don't seem to have that much time for that these days. Partly because of my magazine addiction. :) I subscribe to Business Week, and if I have time I also love to read The Economist, Utne Reader, Seattle Metropolitan, any/all travel mags. Next one I'd like to try out is Foreign Policy.

8. Scrubs! My favorite tv show for the past several years.

7. Internet Radio. I love music in all forms. I like terrestrial radio too, believe it or not, but of course you can't beat commercial free (and sometimes customizable) internet radio!

6. Running. I think it might be more accurate to say I love the feeling I have just after finishing a run. During the run I'm not always super happy. But when I am in decent shape, I can relax while running and it's a fantastic stress reliever.

5. The smell of green chilis being roasted. I can't begin to describe this. All I can say is that it releases endorphins in my brian. I'm sure it is the best smell on earth. Haven't smelled it since I left Tucson!

4. New socks. So nice! Just bought 3 pairs recently from Fred Meyer.

3. Surprises. A random phone call or email, or bumping into someone I haven't seen for awhile. A nice card or present that I wasn't expecting. I love being surprised!

2. Traveling. I love stepping off of an airplane in a new location. This is a big rush for me.

1. Surfing! Once when I was 18 I caught a wave on a boogie board. This might be the coolest feeling I have experienced in my life. Every time I go surfing I get to feel that feeling again.


It was really hard to narrow it down to 10 things. I guess it's good to know that I love a lot of stuff. I might post the runner up list tomorrow.
