Ten of my favorite things.
1. Cake. Not ice cream. Cake.
2. Maps and the irony that I have absolutely no directional skills but still love to hang maps all over my walls
3. My pink striped pajama pants that I got from Abercrombie & Fitch (remember them?) when I was fifteen.
4. Dawson’s Creek. (I have trouble letting go of things)
5. Pizza and prosecco.
6. Burgers and champagne.
7. Seal pups.
8. Vintage aprons.
9. Wooden spoons.
10. Bathtubs filled with Italian buttercream.

August 26, 2010 at 9:20 amCuteness. I also have a thing for maps (love framing them for my walls) and yet zero sense of direction. I still get lost every time I try to go to Saint Paul from Minneapolis…sigh.
Also, agreed on cake, not ice cream. And pizza. I’m adding kittens and sailing boats to the start of my list (which I am mentally forming right now…). Awesome.

Jasmine @ Eat Move Write
August 26, 2010 at 9:32 amI liked Dawson’s Creek, too. I can’t let go of Friends, though.
I can’t believe you still have a pair of pajamas from when you were 15 lol.

August 26, 2010 at 10:10 amI have the same issue with Friends! I wish it were still on. 🙂

August 26, 2010 at 12:16 pmI watch all the re-runs.
Actually…I pretty much only watch re-runs of old shows like Friends, Seinfeld, etc. instead of any of the actual current ones on now…
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin
August 26, 2010 at 9:34 amI loooove ice cream cake but not regular cake. Strange!
Camille
August 26, 2010 at 9:38 amBathtubs filled with Italian butter cream? I think I just pinpointed the thing that would make me happiest in the world!

Katherine
August 26, 2010 at 9:44 amI love that you did a Things I Love list on a Thursday, because every Thursday my friend and I email each other with a list of things we love. We call it Things I Love Thursday, or TiLT.
It’s such a fantastic way to remind ourselves that there are things in the world we love, even if the day or week is sucking.
Ellie
August 26, 2010 at 11:12 amI love this idea, and have just suggested it to a friend of mine! What an easy way to make you smile!

Jess @ The Stuffed Horse
August 26, 2010 at 9:55 amUm, Dawson’s Creek taught me how to feel.
Sometimes I watch seasons 3 and 4 just to remind myself that Pacey and Joey really were that cute and that Katie Holmes was a person before she married Tom Cruise.
Ah, memories……….. so glad you love it too!
Marisa @ Loser for Life
August 26, 2010 at 9:57 amFunny, your #5 and #10 are the same as mine 😉
Sarah
August 26, 2010 at 9:58 amMy favorite episode of Dawson’s Creek ever is when Joey and Pacey come back from sailing for the summer and at the end of the episode they sit in the hammock and they read to each other. Love.
Kelly
August 26, 2010 at 10:00 amOh man remember when Dawson’s used to play reruns every morning on TBS? Those were the days!
Evan Thomas
August 26, 2010 at 10:02 amScrew the bathtub; let’s go for the whole swimming pool
Christina
August 26, 2010 at 10:04 amI could ditto all 10 of these! My friends and I were just talking about Dawsons Creek 2 days ago, we can’t let go either!
Heather (Heather's Dish)
August 26, 2010 at 10:07 amyes, i love all of these things too…but right now i could particularly go for the persecco and pizza one. or just persecco. so what if it’s before noon? 🙂
Michelle @ Turning Over a New Leaf
August 26, 2010 at 10:10 amI’m more of an ice cream person than a cake person myself. 😉
Mmm. Pizza and Prosecco. Who’d a thunk it? Sounds like a combination I’d like to try in the near future. 🙂
wendy
August 26, 2010 at 10:12 amWhere is wine?

Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat)

Madeline - Greens and Jeans
August 26, 2010 at 10:24 amI definitely missed a few classes in college when TBS used to show back to back episodes of Dawson’s…
Marla
August 26, 2010 at 10:25 amAh I kinda secretly wish Pacey and Joey were a couple in real life today!(sorry Tom Cruise!)
They were the couple you rooted for in a dreamy way 😉
Maria @ Oh Healthy Day
August 26, 2010 at 10:27 amI’m so with you on the maps things. I don’t know why, but I could stare at maps all day long. Maybe I’m not so weird afterall, or we are both just weird 🙂
Stacey
August 26, 2010 at 10:28 amI have a pair of pants that I got from Target when I was in the 8th grade, and they still fit, and I STILL love them 🙂 They are full of holes (luckily, not in any place that is inappropriate!) but I think it makes them look sort of retro 😉
Lauren at KeepItSweet
August 26, 2010 at 10:33 amWow I used to LIVE for Dawson’s Creek!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing
August 26, 2010 at 10:33 amCake is amazing. And sense of direction? What is that?
Melissa R

Chicago Cuisine Critique
August 26, 2010 at 10:38 amI love the list!
Tina
August 26, 2010 at 10:46 amI donned some pink striped pj pants from high school all day yesterday when I was sick. I think they helped me feel better. 🙂
Champagne & burgers? That combo just shouts your personality!
Kayla
August 26, 2010 at 10:48 amI own every season of Dawson’s Creek. I will never let it go. I am not ashamed!
Scargosun
August 26, 2010 at 10:59 amDawson’s Creek was filmed in NC where I went to college and while I was in college. I loved the music from it…it also gave us Joshua Jackson. 🙂
natalie
August 26, 2010 at 11:12 amLove them all too! Except I do love ice cream, I have a weakness for rich, chocolate-y, peanut butter infused ice cream. And please elaborate on buttercream baths! Really?!
Megan (Braise The Roof)
August 26, 2010 at 11:20 amYes. Correct. Cake, not ice cream. I’m with you. 🙂
Jessie
August 26, 2010 at 11:22 amAwesome list. I completely agree about cake, couldn’t care less about ice cream if cake is anywhere nearby. I have never had pizza and prosecco. Time to give it a try?
eatmovelove
August 26, 2010 at 12:18 pmI choose not to choose…have my ice cream with cake on the side 😉
Marie
August 26, 2010 at 11:28 amI was sure the picture at the top was kir! Is it? That’s one of the few drinks (alcoholic) that I actually like the taste of. I tried it when I was studying abroad in Paris.
Rachel (Two Healthy Plates)
August 26, 2010 at 11:29 amWhat a great list – I would have a hard time narrowing down my favorite but I think you did a good job. Except I like cake AND icecream!
Stacy
August 26, 2010 at 11:42 amI can’t let go of Sex and the City and Friends!
Chocolate Eclair Cake, so delicious and light tasting.
Fluffy puppies
Joshua Jackson (Pacey) is now on Fringe, and he is still amazing!

Anything pertaining to Fall; changing leaves, cool breezes, etc.

August 26, 2010 at 11:47 amRe #4. I recently asked my husband if he would still love me if I started collecting the Dawson’s Creek series on DVD. He said he would think about it.

Rachel Wilkerson
August 26, 2010 at 12:15 pmI’m totally with you on #8. Love vintage aprons. Also, I adore and collect vintage cookbooks! I love my modern gadgets in an otherwise throwback kitchen.
Katie @ peacebeme
August 26, 2010 at 12:17 pmProsecco is one of my favorite things on planet Earth! I love it with raspberries or blackberries like that, but best with elderflower liquer. 🙂
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman
August 26, 2010 at 12:24 pmLoved Dawson’s Creek. Man that brings me back to high school and the mass amounts of IMing my entire school would do when the show ended. As in: OMG I <3 Pacey. And: Jen = Jerk.
Kate
August 26, 2010 at 12:35 pmOh fun, I want to do one too:
1. Avocadoes
2. Spicy tuna rolls
3. Asti Spumante
4. Saved by the Bell and the original 90210
5. Globes
6. kayaking
7. Peanut butter
8. Hot tubs
9. Chai lattes (they make me happy)
10. Tigers
11. My fat cat Oliver

Rebekah @Rebeltarian

Katie (runthislife)
August 26, 2010 at 3:18 pmI would like burgers, champagne, AND Dawson’s Creek. Right now. Thanks.

August 26, 2010 at 4:19 pmI’m on the fence about wooden spoons.
Tami
August 26, 2010 at 5:53 pmLove cake…mostly the frosting, but LOVE Dawson’s Creek…didn’t watch it when it first came out, but when my daughter was born in 2004, I watched it (back to back to back episodes) on cable every single morning while nursing or rocking her. I do love the show, but it brings back memories of those first few full of snuggles and love weeks! 🙂
Laura (Starloz)
August 26, 2010 at 9:19 pmGreat list jenna!
Sana
August 26, 2010 at 9:59 pmCake and ice cream is the way to goo!
Caitlin
August 26, 2010 at 10:29 pmMy sister and her best friend used to skip Church Catechism classes in favor of watch Dawson’s Creek. Dawson and Joey forever, Amen.

August 27, 2010 at 10:19 amI totally miss my favorite TV shows too. In fact, I have to admit I have reruns of Roseanne playing in the background. 🙂
