Im in to make a whole long list, Deb.
I have a lengthy decadence list for when I crave sugar :) but a shinybright list? dont have. so need.
This is a wonderful list, Deb…and it’s making me think about mine. I’m going to make it tonight, I think. That’ll be a good, quiet activity to use to settle myself down after a long day…
Hey! You have Firefly, but not Buffy? I don’t think we can be friends anymore. (And because tone of voice doesn’t carry over the internet, I shall clarify: I AM TOTALLY KIDDING. Well, not about Buffy. But about not being friends. ;D)
There used to be a book in print called “1001 things to be happy about,” and I bought it because I was young and cynical and thought it was HILARIOUSLY IRONIC. But. Um. Now I read it sometimes. Without any irony. If I need a pick-me-up. LOL, it turned out to be one of the best things I ever bought, and I only bought because I thought it was stupid at the time! Now THAT’S irony. But it’s like this post: a 2- or 3-inch thick book, that’s nothing more than a bulleted list. It’s AWESOME.
checking in on you.
anything new and exciting in the WOD (world of deb :)) NADA here…
