Oh, so it's not traditional...? I was wondering why I found so much overlap with her list.

Titanic. It gives my tear ducts a workout every time I watch it.

Let's see. I love the city of Chicago. That's traditional American, right?

It can't be! I love it, too! As a matter of fact, if it weren't for the horrible weather, that's one of the very few cities I'd love to live in in this country.

Ok, I was having a "mommy moment" with my earlier answer. Here is more of what I love...

Snuggling in bed on a cold day
Patron
Sex
Text messaging
Big men
Sunshine
A clean house
Friends coming over to hang out
Chocolate
Scrapbooking
The movie Tombstone
Line dancing
Cotton Sateen sheets
Being spoiled


Not necessarily in that order, and I'm sure there's more~!

Screw it, here's my list...

Boobs - just too easy and Ep reminded me
Females - Just in general, ladies are gorgeous little parasites (hehe) and I just like being around them
Unplanned pregnancies, I mean roadtrips
Jogging with my dog
Grilling out at my place for family and friends
Outwitting/manipulating the college educated, snobby execs
Laying on a Mexican beach with a bucket of Coronas with my cell phone nowhere in sight
Helping a stranger change a tire
The sound of a thunderstorm midday while I'm taking a nap
The smell of boat exhaust in a lake
Conversing with old people
Tailgating and college football on a cool fall day
and many more...

I'm not properly awake but such a nice topic to see first thing in the a.m.

I love:

the satisifaction of making something I designed myself and having it not fall apart.

Books. The smell, the feel...and everything associated; comfy chair, drink, fireplace.

Fresh country air early in the morning after long awaited rain. Hang on...going outside to get a few lung bucketfuls.

My own home-made Jambalya.

New Orleans, and my friends there.

Travelling, especially to the U.S.

Movies from the 40s.

Music.

I used to love sitting in the window-sill of our inner-city apartment.

U.S WW2 planes.

Classic cars, especially from the U.S.

A reliable internet connection so I can stay connected to the 'outside world' while in the country.

The sound of rain, anywhere.

Languid humid days when I don't have to work.

Being able to earn an income.

Good hair days.

My S.O. ...most of the time.

Most of the things I enjoy are pretty well known around here already so.
