Love the Shopaholic!
The total quiet when it snows and I'm out early in the morning shoveling out my car.
Taking a nap with my dog Gyps under the covers providing the warmth (if I try to scootch away from her she'll just scootch more until I'm hugging the edge of the bed...).
Cake - chocolate cake with white icing. YUM!
Crunching leaves in the fall.
Great list, Rae!

My wife's chocolate truffles
Snuggling with the kids under the covers on a Sunday morning
Loud Skynyrd when no one else is in the house
Playing blues guitar with the neighbors
The smell of Fall
The smell of Spring
The smell of Winter
Do you see a pattern here?
The smell of fish you get on your hands when you first pull them from the lake.
The hugs I get when I first walk through the door in the afternoon.
GB- Thanks! The newest Shopaholic is out and a sweepstakes is going along with it... :D

Posted by: Rae at November 10, 2004 12:35 PMI'm sorry to report that all my nephews & niece think the Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap totally rocks over Halley Mills. What's THAT about?? Next you'll tell me kids today think In Search of the Castaways is LAME.
Posted by: jeff at November 10, 2004 03:21 PMJeff- I think it has to be because the parents don't watch the films with the kids and make it more fun?
It could also be that they have no attachment to the memories we hold for those films....
Posted by: Rae at November 11, 2004 01:48 PMWe gotta get you off the white zin...
Posted by: Patrick at November 14, 2004 09:59 PMWhat? Patrick, I love White Zin. Chardonnay is too spicy for me, and I can't stand warm, dry wines....what else is left?
