1. Delilah – Sick, sad, and true. I have listened to her show regularly since the fall of 1996. Dude.
I was 12! A call to the self-proclaimed “Queen of Sappy Love Songs” would definitely put a person
in my good graces.
2. Folklore roses – I adore orange/coral roses in many shapes and forms, but so far, this is my
favorite. Forget red roses. I’d pick these puppies over the most perfect red any day.
3. Seafood – Oh boy. I love it so much and haven’t found any creature who calls the sea its home
that I don’t find tasty. Mm-mm.
4. Old films – Many of my favorites came out when my Granny was my age. They’re the best. A
few that I really enjoy watching are Splendor in the Grass, Two for the Road, and Picnic.
5. Fairs – You know, of the county, state, whatever variety. I love them! It’s the nighttime atmos-
phere with all the lights, spilled bags of popcorn, discarded turkey legs, scary carnies, spinny rides
that make you throw up your fried Twinky…man. I love it.
6. Christmas lights – I. Love. Them. Oh my goodness. For the past few years I’ve always gone to
view them in Chickasha, Oklahoma and those are SO great. And this year I’ll get to go with Kevin!
7. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey – I don’t know what it is about this song,
but it’s good any time of year for me. Whenever I hear it on the radio I become instantly happier.
8. Sephora – Sorry. Just had to throw that in there. On our (what was it?) 4th or 5th date Kevin
even went into one with me. See, he’s a keeper.
9. Chocolate & cherries – Good gracious. This is one deadly combo for me. I love cherries and
cherry flavored things, so add the chocolate (the darker, the better!) and you’ve got me. Black
Forest cake is a wonderful thing.
10. Children’s books – They are sweet and remind me of simpler times. While I don’t consider
Anne of Green Gables strictly a children’s book, any girl around the age of 11 should definitely
start reading the series. It (HONESTLY) changed my life.
11. COFFEE – Were caps necessary? YOU BET YOUR BRITCHES THEY WERE. I’ll take this stuff in
any form. IV drip is the preferred method.
12. Cream cheese & fake cheese – I couldn’t include one without the other. With the first you
have something that I consider to be a marketable alternative to your average candy bar (You
know, it comes in sticks and I could never understand why my mom wouldn’t let me eat it that
way. It’s possible that she was concerned about my saturated fat intake.) and the base of a very
special icing used on red velvet cake. Can’t go wrong there. The second is your key ingredient in
the very best ball game foods. Yum.
13. Kit Kat – The king of all candy bars. I cannot put into words what this fine piece of chocolate
means/does to me, so I’ll steal a line from Gilmore Girls (formerly a key to my heart until it was
CANCELLED), “The only way I could love you more is if you had a Kit Kat bar growing out of the
side of your head.” And my dears, that couldn’t be more true.
Sadly (for any interested parties) my heart is taken now. I have The Best Boyfriend in the World.
How could he not be? The guy covered numbers 3, 10, and 11 on the first date.

I like the part about the kit-kat. It’s a very special candy bar. Happy TT!
Interesting list, got me thinking about what heys to my heart are! great idea for a TT-list!
My TT shares Thirteen (quotes from) lyrics by Robbie Williams!
Happy Thursday!
Great list, but I just love Christmas light the best. Okay, Christmas is my favorite holiday. Have a great TT.
I like Kit Kat too.
Delilah’s voice has always annoyed me. Chocolate and cherries sound wonderful right now. And like you, I love fairs too
Have a great Thursday!
I love Kit-Kats too, and All I Want for Christmas is a wonderful song. Happy TT.
Love, Love, LOVE Two for the Road! That movie seems to get forgotten, but it’s well-written, stylish and so romantic. My favorite part is when he tells Audrey he still loves her, and she just says, “Well then.” Indeed. What else did she need to say? Thanks for reminding me of this gem.
Great 13!!
I have my 2nd one up and running. This is so much fun.
I love #7….I listen to it every year:) Great list…I love cheese too!!
I love kit kats too!
Neat list! There’s only one way to my heat: music.
Happy TT!
Fun list! #2 — me too. #4 — Do you love “Giant”? That and “The Women” are 2 of my favorites.
I love old movies too. Spencer Tracy and Kate Hepburn.
Interesting TT, it made me think of the 13 keys to My heart!!!!
I love chocolate and christmas lights!!!
A great list: Chocolate is always best, no doubt! What is a sephora?
Great list! I love christmas lights. Christmas is my favourite time of year too
Delilah and Christmas lights..a winning conversation
what a great list
Nice list. Hey I just got a great b-day gift from Sephora. The makeup kit and some awesome smelling body butters. Love it
Great list! I also sea foods and I’m lucky to be coming from a tropical country… sea foods here are always fresh! I also love christmas lights and can’t wait for that time of year!
Okay, I agree with most all of your list EXCEPT FOR #1! The woman gives me hives and I just can’t understand the point of pouring out your heart to a radio host. But I’m old and crochety, so I’ll just go back to listening to Neal Boortz…and eating chocolate covered cherries.
I couldn’t agree more about Kit Kat’s (is that one word or two? My husband and I can’t agree), although I would add Twix to the mix. I normally hate fake cheese, but you’re right…nachos wouldn’t be the same without it! And Anne of Green Gables…we read that for school last year and didn’t stop until the fourth book when Anne got married (takes the fun out of her adventures, especially for a boy, you know?
) Thanks for sharing this TT!
ANNE!!!! I’ve read that series like 8+ times ( I quit counting after the 8th time around). I’ve seen the movies 5+ times. Yes, every girl MUST read Anne!
I love Christmas lights. They always cheer me up. I’ve been debating hanging white ones from the ceiling in my bedroom just to do it.
And cheese sticks! I have lied and told my mother, the nurse, that my doctors recommended I take my medicine with cheese sticks in the morning.
My poor puppy just looks so sadly at me while I eat them because I won’t share.
Happy TT!
Cute list, Elizabeth! I can concur with many of them but what is Sephora?
Happy Thrusday!
Uh, coffee? YES. Love it so much, I’m drinking it riiiiiiight now. (For the third or fourth time today)
Well, I totally agree on 3-6, 9, 10. How can you go wrong with cherries and/or chocolate, I ask you. Great list. Happy TT!
Completely off topic….but I LOVED your quote….“If we had some gravy we could have biscuits and gravy if we had some biscuits.” over at PW’s site!! I may justborrow that quote to use with my hubby!!
Great list! Thanks for participating!
I am so with you on the coffee…seriously. Additionally, the fairs. They’re the absolute, indisputable best.
Here’s my list: http://thesecondshift.typepad.com/the_second_shift/2007/09/thursday-thirte.html
Love your list. I’m with you on old movies and Christmas lights!
My life is now complete. I’ve been waiting all week for this one!
I remember a time when I didn’t like coffee…..my life was so devoid of hope back then.
You didn’t include it in your old flms list, but have you seen “It Happened One Night”?
I’ve just ambled over here briefly. I don’t come too often because I don’t remember where you are, I mainly stay on livejournal. BUT, cool list
You’ve got me singing “All I want for Christmas” now, and it’s it’s only september! But it is a good, uplifting song
