Things I Never Get Tired Of

You may have noticed that over on the left-hand sidebar I have a list of blogs that I call "Inspirations."  These are blogs that make me stretch my mind and imagination and expectations and I love them all for that.  Via Chookooloonks* yesterday I noticed Jen Lemen's post about "25 things I never get tired of."  I thought it was a perfect thing for me to consider during the first week of 2008.  So without further ado:

  1. Cracking open a brand new cookbook.
  2. Looking at really amazing portraits.
  3. Chapstick.
  4. Talking to my grandmother.
  5. Driving over the Golden Gate Bridge.
  6. Going to farmers' markets.
  7. KFOG Acoustic Sunrise on Sunday mornings.
  8. Listening to my friend Anna's outgoing phone message - her daughter recorded it when she was about 2 (she's about to be 6), and I hope they keep it till she's 18.
  9. Chatting with the people who create or grow my food.
  10. Watching stormy days in the city from the warmth of my living room.
  11. Filling notebooks with random thoughts, lists and notes.
  12. Really great stationery stores.
  13. Giggling uncontrollably with my best friend - we met over giggles in 7th grade and somehow manage to crack each other up to this day.
  14. Eyes closed, iPod on, dancing around my bedroom alone.
  15. Listening to people tell me how amazing my family is.
  16. Reading my blog comments (not a ploy -- I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate them though I am atrocious at answering them).
  17. Supermarkets in foreign countries.
  18. The surprise of becoming dear friends with people who I have met as a result of this blog.
  19. Reading old handwritten recipes.
  20. The anticipatory moment when I am transferring photos from my camera to my computer.
  21. The overwhelming feeling of realizing a dream.
  22. Hearing a compliment from a client who is pleased with my work.
  23. Planning & making a meal for friends who really appreciate my cooking.
  24. Walking through the city with no real destination, camera slung on my shoulder.
  25. Fresh figs, cherries, tangerines, and blueberries.

* Chookooloonks is an amazing photographer and all around bad-ass chick.  Don't believe me?  Check out her amazing shots of her daughter.  I think I'm a better person because I read her blog and look at her photos.

Stay safe out there, all of you who are experiencing storms!

What an amazing list!!! I hope you're tucked away safe and warm inside and watching the storm pass through.

This is great! I was inspired by you, so I put my own list on our blog (though only 10 things).

wish i was stuck at home. too bad I had to go to work on public transport. My industrial strength umbrella went inside out twice on the way!

Great list. Hope you don't get blown away. Right now it's getting windy here too. I say "No more snow!" But it does not good, I say it every winter and it still snows.

i love this!

That is a truly gorgeous photo -- love the view from up there. And your list, too, is so very nice.

Wonderful list! And thanks so much for your amazing words -- they made my night. :o)

Happy New Year,

K.

LOVE your list and the photo - a perfect, stormy SF sky. Thanks for such a thoughtful list... it is inspiring.
