Holy crap batman! I have a hard enough time thinking up 10 for the 10 things I love award! You should try the Irish style Swiss cheese! It is my newest love in the cheese department.
Swoon... Colin Firth. Yum!

Oh my goodness. I can't believe you cranked that out in a single day. I decided to do the 1000 gifts thing at Holy Experience a couple months ago. I'm maybe at 35 or 40. You have some really good ones (that I'll probably be swiping.)
p.s. You should make some Save Ferris rocks to sell. I'd buy one.
When I think of black spray paint and stencils, you always come to mind! You are getting into this mah jong! I remember when you first started going.

That was a wonderful list! We could be best friends because as I kept reading each one was something that I love. I would say "oh I love that too" and then the next thing would be something I love. A great list!
I'm very impressed with your list! I think it's a great idea to remember all of the things that make us happy.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I wanted to let you know that Tom Watson was the nicest man. He is a huge supporter of ALS and could not have been more gracious to me and my husband and son during our dinner together. It was a very enjoyable evening.
Hope you are having a wonderful week.

So many of those things I share as well....especially that foot massage!!!
Great list. I love playing Euchure unfortunately I don't know any other players in my neck of the South.
I don't think I could make such a long list. You've inspired me to pay more attention to the little things that make me happy.
I loved reading your list! And I love that having a good hair day was at the top. I mean, let's face it- if you're having a good hair day you are just set up for happiness! xo
