I Love Them... I Love Them Not

For the most part I’m a pretty happy girl. I figure taking life on with a smile makes it the days much easier on me (And all the people around me too!). It also doesn’t take a whole lot to make me joyful. Even something as simple as a new pair of socks can seriously make my day. On the other hand, I am far from perfect and there are also a few things that make me crazy. For fun I thought I’d make a few lists about some of the simple but fantastic things I LOVE, and follow up with some of those NOT So Loves too. Here we go…
