This post makes me smile.

I agree with 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (substitue lake for ocean), 9, 10 (substitute beer for older cold alcoholic beverage), and 12!

Allison said...

older = other

You've just been typoed!

11. "The Last Samurai." I mean, I'm pretty sure you can guess what I have to say about that... I do however love, love, love number 9 and would number 8 too, had it read: Ending the day by jumping into the ocean ;)

LOVE inside jokes :)

Wait, so where is that hot tub located at? The one that's practically inside a glacier?

Because, I'm thinking I should go there, even if I feel as though I'd freeze my balls off. But, wait, I don't have balls! Score! Going.

Amen to all of that. Except the running one. What?? Running in all weather is PAINFUL! Not perfect. And I'd have to substitute "The Last Samurai" for "Dances with Wolves", because compared to Kevin Costner, Tom Cruise is a pussy :)

Juliana said...

it was all good till you put up that ginger kid. no lunch for me, thanks a lot.

MissKeyz said...

I like! :) Reminded me of some of the things I like - I almost forgot amongst this crazy busy life...

Lissa said...

Love this. :)

Nothing like watching a your favorite TV show with hot chocolate in a cold night....

Btw loved your blog!!

Alison said...

i LOVE running in drizzle, and now i'm also yearning for hot sunny beaches with cold seas, hot jacuzzi's in winter, and when the weather is really blowing a gale - thats when you curl up in bed with a book.
Aaaaah nostalgia...happy days...

Allison - It made me smile to write it.

Hansoul - *taps fingers impatiently* HURRY UP

Will - You know it.

Clara - You and your skinny-dipping

Ms. C - Me too :)

Jamie - Take me with you

Kirsty - Tom Cruise may be a pussy at times, but he absolutely was NOT in "Last Samurai." His character in that movie would make Kevin Costner wash and wax his samurai armor before having him bring him a beer.

Juliana - I understand.

Ms. Keyz - It's easy to forget the good stuff.

Lissa - Good :)

Island Girl - Welcome! And great suggestion.

Alison - Running in a drizzle is amazing. LOVE it.
