Meet Me at Mikes: Five Favs

OK, I love this blog,
Meet Me at Mikes,
so I MUST participate in the fun...

(Oh, and beware, I did not exactly participate the way the
"rules" were laid out,
but I think you will still enjoy my list...)

#1
Mayfield's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream...
My favorite vice...
It has the perfect balance of ice cream and cookie dough...
Such a dangerous combination....
#2
Yard Sale shopping...
Favorite weekend excursion...
I mean, come on, where else can you find a book of old maps
for future wall art
AND a box of roller blades for under $10?
#3
Ball Python...
Favorite snake...
I swear, this is the friendliest snake on earth!
I spent part of an internship working with a librarian
who had a ball python she would let roam the floor of the library...
I swear, that snake would look at me with a smile...
And not a creepy, "I want to squeeze the life out of you" kind of smile-
a "Catch me if you can let's play hide and seek" kind of smile...
#4
Amber...
My favorite jewel...
What IS more beautiful than fossilized tree sap,
Especially when there is a bug trapped inside...

#5
New Born Babies...
My favorite smell...
I forgot how much I liked that smell
Until I was holding a friend's newborn at church this week...
That scent rubbed off onto my shirt,
And for hours afterward I would catch a whiff of that precious baby...
I know that is what heaven is gonna smell like...
(That and Starbucks...)
