What the world needs always

I’ve decided there are a few little things that make my life and the world an all over more beautiful place. (In no particular order.)

Deodorant

High pressure flushing toilets

Mascara

Acne medication

Gchat

Pillows

Chocolate

Feather comforters

My MacBook

Comic Strips

Airplanes

Air conditioning and heat

Bananas

Music I can dance to

Domesticated animals

Hair products

Chicken nuggets and dipping sauces

Websites that rebroadcast TV shows

Razors

Nutella

So this is a pretty materialistic list. There are other things that could definitely be added, like friends (this would add a lot of subcategories, like, friends who I call when I’m lonely, friends who I can grocery shop with—either on the phone or in person, friends I can burp in front of, friends I can be a complete idiot with, friends I can cry to, friends that call me out of the blue and make my day, friends that comment on my blog—hint hint, friends who buy me presents, friends who make me really really happy, etc), or family (also multiple categories in there, like favorite cousins, or sisters I can go to concerts with, or sisters I can go to dumb teeny-bopper movies with, or parents who still provide financial aid when I act like I won’t need it ever again, or parents who leave messages about the latest People Magazine cover—well, obviously I only have one set of parents, so that doesn’t make sense, but you get it). But add to my list and we’ll have a great Thanksgiving inspired list of wonderful things together. And since Thanksgiving is less than a week away (I’m starting mine on Monday night around 8 when I fly home) I’ll be reflecting on the things I’m thankful for, no matter how shallow.
