Mornings

I'm falling in love with mornings. I was never a fan of the morning but this morning as I sit here with my laptop, the most recent John Mayer cd playing, and the house completely still (for the time being at least) I am re-considering the general feeling I had about morning.

Speaking of feeling...I am a person driven by my feelings. I don't like how I feel in Petco so I go to PetSmart. Now that I'm admitting that it makes me sound slightly crazy that I let my feelings dictate which stores I frequent. Honestly, I let my feelings dictate almost everything I do. But what happens when I don't "feel" like doing what I should do? Who ultimately decides what I should do? Do I decide that? Does someone else? I love that I am passionate about things and that I follow my heart. But I have a difficult time doing things I don't feel like doing. That's not to imply that I am a lazy a person, I just don't have motivation to do things unless I'm passionate about them. I'm envious of people who can easily do things they don't feel like doing. I'm rambling and it's early so the overall flow and message of this post are probably being thrown by the way side.

John Mayer is a musical genius and his new cd is one my favorite things of 2010. I'm complying a list: "Favorite Things: 2010" since my favorite things are subject to change year to year. Okay, I know you're itching to know what's made my list thus far. I'll self disclose some of the list, the rest of the list can't be revealed until December 2010 when it's completed.

Favorite Things: 2010 (draft)

1. John Mayer Battle Studies album (specifically, "Half of My Heart" and "Edge of Desire"

2. Wednesday night soccer

3. Spring/summer softball

4. Iced soy chai teas

5. All the applications for my phone (specifically the Menstrual Calendar, Starbucks Locator, and Grocery List applications. How can you not love a reminder telling you when you are going to ovulate? A map constantly updating telling me where the nearest Starbucks is -- YES PLEASE! My love of the grocery list application could go without explanation, two of my favorite things: lists and food)

6. Fat Lorenzo's pizza

7. My yellow apron

8. Hosting a spring tea party with kindergartners

Note: my favorite things of 2010 are listed in no particular order and are subject to change.
