Boss Sanders - My 100 things

I asked Miss to start a list, so I will too. Out of fairness ;) Besides, she says my Amazon list with 99% L’s stuff just doesn’t cut it. I hope you’ll all do this (and be sure to tell me! ESPECIALLY if you are doing the bloggy swap!) Anyways, the idea is to post 100 of my favorite things…for gift ideas/inspiration/etc. This is way different than the 100 of my favorite things list where you’re allowed to post things like “sex, family, and blah blah blah.” (Hear me, Miss???) lol

My 100 things:

1. Burt’s Bees Chapstick. With Peppermint. Nothing works as good.
2. Crazy/Funky cloth napkins.
3. Clothes. I love shopping at stores like Charlotte Russe, Limited, Ann Taylor Loft, Gap, Old Navy, etc. Depending on the store, my size is always different. But, that at least gives you an idea of my “style”
4. This book.
5. This book.
6. This book.
7. This book.
8. This book.

38. Random things (although, I don’t do much when it comes to knicknacks)
39. Framed Photographs
40. Wall hangings and paintings (My Bedroom is a blue/ocean-ish feel, Kitchen/DR is lime (the fruit) green with accents of bright colors like pink, yellow, turquoise, and purple and is all about whimsy. LR is a deep red (brick-ish almost. Not burgundy. I hate burgundy. We’ve got some asian inspired things, but mostly its just dark woods, red, and cozy. I’m trying not to make it toooo ethnic of any sorts)
41. dinner at B. Russells
42. dinner at Flamingo Row
43. A deck. Who wants to buy me a deck? haha. I’m running out of realistic wishes, here.
44. A new fridge
45. A new dishwasher that actually gets stuff clean
46. A new stove/oven just so it’ll all match haha (I’m still trying to think of less exp stuff)
47. I have a garden. So, a cute mom/daughter gardening set would be cute.
48. I don’t wear crocs. And, won’t. I also won’t wear gloves in the garden.
49. I like earrings. I hate bracelets (although if you make me one, I’ll forever cherish it…just not wear it). I blame my wrists which are bony.
50. Black stillettos. Because I have none. I know, right? I won’t post my shoe size because I’ll never hear the end of the mockery, but you can email me for sizes.
51. I’d say little signs for my garden but I kind of cram packed it with a huge variety of stuff. That, and some of the plants didn’t listen to me and grow where I told them too…stupid birds/rain.
52. I like outdoor pretty stuff. You know, chimes, little statues of angels and rocks that say “grow dammit” and other hilarious things.
53. Roses. I like roses. Especially really different ones. They should come with roots and a pot so I can plant them and they can grow FOREVER!
54. Starbucks iced frappucino. Caramel with shots of chocolate. Vannilla bean is good too.
55. A sweet phonecall.
56. Random postcards, letters, cards. I save them.

60. Somebody pay my way for BlogHer 09!! Haha (Hey, this is my list of wants, and I’m getting strapped for 100!)
61. Make me something. I will love it, I swear.
62. Compost
63. A new bedding set. Like this one. Exactly like it. lol
64. 2 cheapo bedside tables. White. Like these. Only, I’m cool if they were used and need painting and sanding
65. Umm…a basic white plant stand (I think they have them at the company store?). Nothing all wiry, just simple wood. Simple lines. Nothing expensive. Just something I can put indoor plants on in front of the window so my cats won’t eat them.
66. Indoor bamboo palm plants
67. Hehe, can you tell I’m wanting to redo my house stuff? Okay, no more mentioning house stuff… I love throws. Soft ones.
68. My favorite colors are raspberry pink and caribbean blues and turquoises. If you don’t know what raspberry pink is…HERE. I don’t know what the frick that thing is, but it’s the right color.
69. I also love bright orange (not neon colors), lime (as in the fruit, not neon) green, and lavender
70. I like fun, fresh designs and patterns
71. I also like girly stuff.
72. I’m running out of room, so I’ll start posting sizes.
73. Waist: 24 inches
74. Hips: 33 inches
75. I’m about 5′1″ and that should tell you loads about length
76. Depending on brand, I can wear an XS or Small. If it’s super small sizes, I can sometimes wear a Medium (like Hollister - but hollister cleans my wallet out and we are not currently friends)
77. Same with bottoms. Generally I wear an XS/S or a 1 or 2. Depending on the brand.
78. Shoes…5.5 to 6
79. Ohhhh yeh…I want one of those little bowl thingies with the little grinder doohickey (for herbs). I forget the names of them and am sure Steven knows, but I don’t want to ask again. Anyhow, I want one of those.
80. I like Vodka. Grey Goose, would be cool to try.
81. I love wacky “kits”. Like…cupcake kits, make your own this or that kit, sushi kit, etc. Whether it’s a store bought already put together kit, or you put it together. I go crazy over kits.
82. I also love pampered Chef
83. And Athleta.com
84. And food. And drinks. And I go crazy over good sweets.
85. I love pier one an the World Market.
86. I am a romantic.
87. Seriously, I love almost anything. Kiwi Magazine, Wondertime, and Mothering (in that order)
88. Books.
89. Are you getting to know my likes/dislikes yet? I love music of all sorts, as long as its not so head banging rock that I cant understand the words (Limp Bizkit is okay, so if its more headbanging than that…maybe not), I hate listening to yodeling, really bluegrassy music makes me gassy (I like country just not the really hick sounding stuff…I guess i like SOME bluegrass…just not all), and….I think I like most everything else?
90. I like to learn more about my friends.
91. I like movies but hate owning a bunch. Hence, we netflix and borrow alot. Way better. I like going to the theater occasionally but mostly I end up having to pee and trying to hold it the whole time as some shit kicks the back of my seat (while I need to pee).
92. I can transform from the whole girly girl to the outdoor chic in like .5 seconds. Which reminds me, a good all natural and non harmful mosquito and tick repellant would be cool.
93. I like cooking as long as it’s fun and experimental. (i.e. I don’t fry chicken or make meatloaf - common southern dishes - unless I’m making them with a twist. I prefer to eat and cook other stuff).
94. I pretty much don’t wear camo. Sorry.
95. I love hilarious graphic (fitted ) tees.
96. I love learning. And, right now, I’m really into natural healing and all that comes with. And, of course…I want to learn woodworking.
97. I like fabric. Colorful, fun, bright, modern, fresh fabric (to sew with).
98. Almost done! YES! The romantic in me loves redenvelope.com, the simple/mod gal in me loves IKEA (although we dont have a store anywhere around here), the neatfreak in me loves the Container Store, the interior designer in me loves Crate and Barrel, Pier 1, and Pottery Barn (occasionally) and World Market. The crafty in me loves etsy.com and the weirdo in me loves uncommongoods.com. And the total nerd in me loves bookstores. Period. lol
99. Other interests of mine are: homeschooling, cloth diapering, world religions and alternative views (I’m stocked up on Baptist, Catholic, and Mormon though), alternative lifestyles, psychology, natural healing and alternative medicines…and I think I’ve told you the other stuff.
100. It’s not so much the stuff, as it is the experience and the thoughts behind it. If I know you spent time to make me something or really really put thought into a gift or an “action,” I’ll love it - no matter what it is. This list is not a beggar’s list, it was REALLY hard for me to fill 100 things. It’s a guide. It’s a way to know me better. And, if you want to use it, you can. If not, that’s hunky dorey, too! Mostly, it’s here for the bloggy swap and so I can bribe Miss into doing one, too!!! lol
