Last night, mid way through an extraordinarily long drive I asked my road trip companion to list his top ten things of all time. The list could include people, food, feelings, events, films, music, objects – anything. The only hard and fast rule was that each item had to make you euphorically and ultimately happy. Here was my list, in no particular order…
1. Sleeping/generally spending time in bed
2. Mr Smaggle
3. Ice cream-esque desserts – sorbet, gelato, frozen yogurt
4. Acting
5. Good health
6. Red wine
7. Sex
8. Les Mis – The Musical
9. Beautiful accessories
10. Existential harmony
It was such a great list to write and we both took the task very seriously.
Would you care to share your list? It’s actually quite difficult and extremely eye opening. Good luck!
Love Carly

Not two weeks ago, I discovered a top-ten list in the middle of my carry-it-everywhere notebook that I apparently wrote while drunk with my husband. In order:

2. [Husband]
3. Scalp massages/ having my hair played with.
4. Sex
5. Sleeping
6. Reading books
7. Reading anything else
8. Fashion
9. Fitness
10. Pelvic thrusts. All the time. Like in the kitchen while cooking dinner.Drunk-me has a pretty good handle on what sober-me likes, apparently.

You know how much I love ranking lists, Lady. So much so that 'Lists' narrowly misses out being in my top ten favourite things.BUT here, my top ten, in non-particular order:
1. My love
2. Bookshops, and what you can buy in them
3. Booze. Any sort.
4. Bread. Any sort.
5. Pretty dresses, especially if they have flowers on them
6. Showers
7. Friends
8. Family (obviously)
9. Sex and cuddles
10. Theatre. Seeing and making.I could add: writing, teaching, memes, making and eating banana cake, tulips, apples, red lipstick, trash television, country music, honeycomb, ugly-looking dogs, jewels, steak, quizzes, cheese, visual art, and ranting, but that's just too many things.

I recently had to make a 1 minute silent portrait of myself for a film assignment which i iuncluded alot of the things on this list. Quite interesting to think about really. This is in NO particular order (im procrastinating, but im still realistic)
1. My Soulmate Jon (you may remember him as 'beans')
2. My parents
3. Cheerleading (including any media involved eg. movies/tv) especially hitting a new stunt. and my uniform.
4. The lessons learned in the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, especially the one from "Soul of the Fire" which states "The greatest harm can result from the best intentions"- I live my life by this.
5. A hot bubble bath with one of the aforementioned books. Or a sweet valley book.
6. Remembering being 10 years old
7. Arrested Development TV show
8. My teddy bear Panseiy that I have had since I was born. Rock those pink overalls girl!
