LLLLLJK,

1. When the babies clean the house. The Boy is vacuuming as I write. It is awesome.
2. Hot tea.
3. Queso with ground beef, cooked to crispy crackly goodness with lots of cumin. And lots of pico de gallo on top.
4. Watching the Boy vacuum Duke. Yes. My Golden likes to be vacuumed. (Aside: if you think about it, a Golden is the physical opposite of a vacuum. As in physics, not the voomer. It is impossible for a Golden to be a void, or empty, or completely isolated. They just aren’t equipped that way).
5. WordPress. A lot.
6. The title, which just changed from “Things I Like” to the current “LLLLLJK,” when Jujubee jumped in my lap. She is a Golden that abhors a vacuum. As in voomer.
7. Fooootballllll!!!!!
8. Oskar, the little boy in *Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close*. This is a kid I want to know.
9. Reading the nativity scene from *A Prayer for Owen Meany*, an annual must-do for me.
10. Rooms full of dogs and quilts and books. And queso.
