in the movie, le fabuleux destin d'amelie poulain, amelie introduces characters by saying their likes and dislikes. for example her mother likes cleaning out her purse and then replacing everything however she dislikes pruned fingers from taking a bath. amelie is shown below about to crack into creme brulee...one of her likes.
here are some of my personal likes that i've noticed lately...or always:
laying in the bathtub as the water drains...your body feels heavier and heavier and heavier.
drinking hot chocolate and the warmth in your belly afterwards.
the tightness of your skin just after washing your face.
eating the melty edges of ice cream.
holding a sleeping baby on your chest (if it's niece or nephew even better).
cooking grilled cheese or egg-on-bread so that it's really really crispy...the key is lots o' butter.
there may not be an actual difference but after filling up the car with gas or an oil change i swear it drives better (most likely this is just peace of mind).
slipping into a made bed with clean sheets.
sucking on a cinnamon altoid.
et vous?

I love this post. It is one of my favorite.
ReplyDeletestains pop out of no where on Olivia's onesies. She had a white onesie (with a text or picture on the front) and somehow it got a big red pen mark. ugh. it meant I would probably not like it again. I put shout on it not expecting any results and it came out of the washer bright white. there was no indication there had ever been any stain. it was like my own little miracle and it made me happy.
and the smell of tomatoes on the vine. Totally intoxicating.
ReplyDeleteand blueberry muffin mix. The kind with real blueberries and then I add a crumb topping. And then eat then pipping hot with melted butter in the middle. :)
