List-making.

Things that make me all kinds of happy:

• Watching Kris Allen and Adam Lambert rock my face off on American Idol.
• Eating Chicken Salad Chick with Blake-- Buffalo Barkley and one new scoop everytime.
• Planning summer vacays: Disney World? Carribean Cruise? Do I want a picture with Mickey or a tan and and Elton John piano bar?
• Downtown adventures with Mal on Friday afternoons.
• Speaking of, Toomer's lemonade with vanilla. Thanks for that.
• Going through old pictures.
• Knowing that even though I may not ever win an Oscar or be on the cover of a fashion magazine or in a history book, the Creator of the universe knows me by name and calls me His own.
• Feeling like slowly but surely I'm being integrated into a new family, new siblings included.
• Marcum family gatherings: same stories every time. Never gets old.
• Watching hours upon hours of House on DVD, even when Evan would really rather watch Scrubs.
• Casting celebrities to play my friends in my imaginary movie.
• Frasier re-runs.
• The feeling I get after I've turned in a huge assignment.
• The fact that I have only one class left in my undergraduate career, with the exception of an internship.
• Watching one of my nearest and dearest be all smittened with a new love interest.
• Thinking about being Lauren's maid-of-honor on the most important day of her life.
• Watching my parents flirt with each other, after 28 years of wedded bliss. Can we all be so lucky?
• Bubble baths.
• Fresh-out-of-the-dryer clean sheets.
• When my room is clean. Like, really clean. Dusted, vacuumed, organized.
• Harry Potter movie in July.
• Bookstores. Why can't I have my very own bookstore?
• The Advertiser-Gleam.
• Going out on the lake.
• Theme parks.

Okay, I'm going to stop. But know this: I could easily keep going.
