10 things to love - meme

[badbastion]

Snagged from amber1960 because - positivity rules, dudes!

List 10 things you are loving, right now, this very moment:

1: It's finally (almost) fall. Temps are still in the 70s midday, but at night it's been getting down to the 40s and 50s. I can't wait to be able to wear my cold weather clothes, and to snuggle up in blankets.

2: Watching SPN with my mom. She's hilarious, and she totally gets into it, yelling at the screen and everything.

3: My cats are starting to grow in their winter coats, and they're getting all soft and silky.

4: spn-reversebang! I loved watching the claims, and I felt so flattered that several people wanted my art.

5: My LJ friends are so awesome and supportive.

6: I got a solid 4.5 hours of sleep last night. This is a big deal.

7: My mother-in-law send us 3 big boxes of food things. It's mostly snacks and some macaroni and spaghetti, but that's snacks and macaroni and spaghetti we don't have to buy. We have 12 pounds of Twizzlers, lol.

8: My nephews and I are finally getting close. They hug me when I go over to visit, and Jack has told me a few times that he loves me. He's also told my sister that he missed me when i didn't visit for a few days. They're adorable.

9: I feel like I can draw today. Gonna try to livestream later.

10: I'm reading Stephen King books again, and it's been so long that he's put out several new ones since last I read him. I look forward to reading them.

This is such a great list :-D It's so wonderful to hear you feeling a little better!! *HUGS*

:) Thank you *hugs* I felt like I needed to do something to remind myself that there are good things in my life, and I saw this meme and that was that! It feels good to be able to focus on good things for a little while.

glad that you can see some positive things and have the urge to draw again.

I knew which art was yours and wanted to claim it but decided not too as I like meeting new artists and I got a great one in the j2 genre.

Hugs

Yeah, I saw the positivity meme and thought it would be good for me :) I can't wait to sit down with my tablet; I'm going to have to take a nap, then when I get up I hope I'll still be all fired up.

No worries! I'm glad you got something you are really happy about. It is fun meeting new people.

*big hugs*

It's great that you are feeling fired up and I hope it lasts after the nap. <3

They are all wonderful things :D
And I want to see you live streaming again. Could you tell me when you start? :D

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

:)
I'm not sure when I'll livestream - I ended up sleeping on and off for most of the day, so I'm probably not going to do any tonight. But I'll comment here the next time I do LS :)

These all sound like good things! Especially the warm winter clothes - I have a thing for jumpers so this is my favourite time of the year for clothing.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Yes, I love winter clothes. In the summer it's just shorts and tee-shirts and flip-flops, but I've got like, six times as much cold-weather clothes. I love hoodies and sweaters (jumpers, right?) and boots and knit hats and scarves.

I actually don't really know what Twizzlers are. I feel this is something I should have made an effort to find out when I was in the States as they turn up in fanfic all the time... How old are your nephews?

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

lol! They're like.... I had to think for a while earlier to try to describe them. Strawberry-flavored chewy twisted rope candy.

My nephews are 7-year-old twins. They're red-headed, and though they're hitting a bratty age, they're ridiculous and adorable.

Yay for this list!!

About the more recent Stephen King books; any recs? I read Joyland, but that's about it with the newer ones. XD

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

I've just been reading Needful Things, because there were some stories on a subreddit that kept making me think of it. I look forward to digging into Full Dark, No Stars, though. I've always loved novellas and short stories, and I'm pretty sure it's because I started reading King's as a kid.

How was Joyland? Oh, Doctor Sleep was good (not life-changing, but solidly good), and I heard from a friend it was also good if you've never read The Shining.

[geckoholic]

Ohh, Needful Things, I wanted to read that for ages. Thanks for the reminder. XD And yeah, I started reading him in school, and I guess I imprinted on it too, lol.

Joyland was great. Not really horror, more coming of age with a side of if. And ah yes, Doctor Sleep, I HAVE to get on that. :D

RBB is fun to do, and then just watching the claims is like a gripping spectator sport. I'm glad it went well for you.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

I love watching the claims :) The mods handle them so well, I'm always so impressed! And it went great - I got a super-nice, super-talented writer, so I'm excited :)

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Love this list honey :) I always adore seeing the love memes and the positive ones, brings a little lift to the day :) ♥

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

I love seeing them too! There's a lot of variety in my friendspage, and that's good. But when I get a whole cluster of positive posts like this, it makes me happy.

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

It does give me a boost. Especially on days or weeks where it's not going so great, I love seeing my girls enjoying themselves, even with the small things :)

[matchboximpala.livejournal.com]

A good list. I love the comment about your mom. My mom has seen only two episodes -- she finds the show too scary.
