Things I think are great that don't get enough press

You know how there are things you just love and can’t get enough of and other people just don’t always catch the vision? Well here’s my list of those things.

Ross. As in the store. Bargain priced stuff. I can’t get enough of that place. I find so many deals there it is ridiculous. I am thinking about open up a direct deposit there.

Chick-Fil-A. Delicious healthy food (for fast food). Polite employees and a real dedication to customer satisfaction. What’s not to love.

Ogden. I think a lot of people have an unfavorable impression. Don’t knock it til you try it. Ogden is awesome. Beauty, history, mountains and what I call Utah’s best kept secret. Weber State University. GO WILDCATS! BEAT MONTANA!

Dr. Laura. Some people say they can’t stand her. I say you can, and if you do, your life would improve. She has to be really direct to get to the root of the callers issue. She has less than three minutes to cure the problem. She can be heard weekdays from 1-4 on AM 570 Have you ever wondered why I am so dang awesome???? Here’s your answer. Dr. Laura.

Clogs. The perfect shoe. Oh, not if you want to look good. But if what you want is coverage and comfort and ease. Clogs are your shoe.

Steve. Keep in mind that this list is in no particular order. He’s so great. I know I have said it before but still, it’s true. Many of you have noticed that I have become more awesome in the last five years or so. Here’s your answer. Steve. He’s the wind beneath my wings. Oh, and the money behind my debit card.

Baby Binkies. We call them passies. It’s so great to be able to soothe a crying baby. I am sorry to all you parents out there who claim their kids won’t take them. Have you tried all the different shapes and sizes? Not all passies were created equally.

My blanket. I stole a blanket when I left home years ago. I still sleep with it on my bed, it’s so soft and comfy and soothing for me. For those of you who know me well…No, I no longer have to sleep with my blay-boo. I gave it up about four months after we got married. I now cuddle with Steve instead. Just as good…No wait…Better. I do get it out for a snuggle every once in a while usually when I am sad. I don’t know why there is so much comfort in special blankies, but there is.

Ryan Seacrest. You know you like him. I admire that as famous as he is, you never see him involved in tabloid scandal.

Weight Watchers. You really can lose weight. And you can still eat food that tastes good. Not as much as you want whenever you want, but a good amount at regular intervals.

Lava lamps and other specialty light displays. I hate to be a sucker for anything sparkly or shiny or pink, but I am what I am.

Our pediatrician, Dr. Johnson. He is so great. I’m glad he’s on our team. He is so tiny, I’d like to keep him in my pocket as a reference.

My new couches. actually, my whole basement. It’s so great, we love it. How did we ever live without it?

Jack Johnson. When you listen to Jack Johnson, you just know everything is going to be cool.

Blogs. Love it. Love mine, love yours.

And finally…Little Ceasars Pizza. Thank you hot and ready delicious cheap pizza. We are so glad you are finally in town.

Anyway, these are just a few of my favorite things. Some people like girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes. But you know what I like…St. Ives apricot facial scrub. To each their own.
