I was reading on the Diaper Diaries last night about how she put diaper cream on her daughter's chapped chin. Then I noticed her button for "Things I Love Thursday" and started thinking. What are some things I love?
Sleep was probably the first thing I thought. Then I read the rules and realized that it has to be an actual THING. Oh. Well, sleep is still WAY up there on my list :p
How about the internet? Without which I would become a crazy, isolated mom that only speaks baby gibberish. Seriously. What? Not tangible enough? Rats.
Um, okay how about my laptop or my cell phone? My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1525 - I bought it from my younger brother when my old laptop died. If no major accidents befall it, I hope to have this wonderful computer for the next ten years. Don't freak out, you don't really NEED the latest/greatest computer every year, Nate!
My cell phone is from Verizon. I'm not a huge fan of Verizon. But it is comforting to have a cell phone with me when I go out alone with two boys under two. Or to call my handsome husband in the middle of the day for no reason. I especially love doing that :)
Besides sleep, the things that first came to mind that I love help me to connect with the people I love. It's not the thing itself that I love, it's the people I use it for. I used the word 'love' a lot in this paragraph. Oh well, I'm feeling too brain dead to change it now. Hope you enjoyed my first edition of Things That I Love.
Sleep is still way up there.
I'm with you wholeheartedly--sleep (I don't get nearly enough of it), internet, laptop and cell phone. Yes! Last summer my minivan's battery died in the parking lot of our allergist's office, I was 6 months preggo and had my 3 year old with me. Thank goodness for my cell phone!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how much technology has helped us to keep in touch...whenever we want? This was my first edition of Things I Love Thursday, too.
ReplyDeleteSleep can be a thing. When you are a mom, sleep is DEFINITELY a thing to love :) Thanks for participating!!
ReplyDeleteAmen to all of the things you love! I am definitely appreciating the ability have to connect with folks back home since we've moved... though I appreciated it a lot before, too.
ReplyDeleteAs for the laptop, though, good luck with that 10 year plan! I've only had my own laptop since I've been married (almost 3 years, wow!) and I've already had to replace it twice. Then again, the first was Jeremy's beat-up old one, and the second was used (as is this one). And I have a rambunctious toddler who likes to do things like jump on my laptop... but then, so do you. ;-)
