So here goes...and these are in no particular order, just what comes to my brain first:
1. Air Wick scented plug ins, Harvest Spice scent. This is my favorite scent of all time. My whole house smells like it. It is only acceptable to use this scent from mid October through the end of January. Then I usually go to Febreeze's odor neutralizing scent. I pride myself on a good-smelling house....clean...not so much. As long as it doesn't smell like dirty diapers and cat litter, I feel I've accomplished something.
2. Car Heat. There is no better, more snugly feel than car heat. Nuff said.
3. Jack Bauer. He is back on Sunday, and I can hardly wait. There will be some sort of post about that later on to come. Terrorists....watch out.....
4. Holiday traditions. This is kind of a mushy one, but I am getting geared up for Thanksgiving and have been thinking a lot on it. We have so many family traditions around Thanksgiving and Christmas, it will take an entire blog to fill that one up. It's something that is very important to me and for me to pass down to my children. Some are very small, some are not. I will probably elaborate on these in blogs to come.
5. Christmas Stockings. This one can fall under the traditions category, but I feel it should have a life of it's own. I don't care if I get one present for Christmas, I don't even really care what is in the stocking so much, as long as I get one. My mom is the greatest stocking stuffer in the world. She personalizes each one and they are always great.
6. A roaring fireplace. As long as it warms you and doesn't make your house cold. We haven't figured out that happy medium with ours yet.
7. Swimming. I love summer, and I love to swim. I wish St. Joe had a pool, we would be there daily.
8. Day-after-Thanksgiving-shopping. Yes...I'm one of those crazy people. I love it. I hate crowds, and people and traffic and lines, and I generally get nervous and itchy if there are too many people around, but on that day, I just accept it. I will stand in line for 45 minutes for my meager two items. I love drinking loads of coffee on that day and acting like a crazy person. It's more for the fun of it all than to actually get the deals...(although don't get me wrong, I like the deals). My greatest victory was diving into a crazy mob full of exceptionally large people at Wal-Mart and coming out of it alive and carrying my prized possession over my head, a bike that would prove to be WAY to big for my daughter. The only thing missing was a battle cry.
9. CAKE. This should probably be #1. I love cake.....of all kinds, textures, and varieties. My absolute favorite is white wedding cake. You know, the kind that is really moist with that sweet, almost crispy, sugary frosting? I'm salivating as I type......mmmmm.......cake....... I even love the word cake and how it sounds. I can't watch that show "Ace of Cakes" because it always makes me hungry for cake.......mmmmmm...... I make a mean triple chocolate fudge cake for my hubby on his birthday every year. That is probably my second favorite cake......mmmm....cake....
10. LOST. Yeah, anyone who knows me, knows this one would be on here. I love that show. Jack Bauer and LOST. I don't really need to go into many details with this one, I will let the pictures do the talking. This is from our "First annual Season Finale Lost party". Way fun.....(remember, you can click on the picture to make it bigger).
Roll your eyes at me all you want public....but it was tons of fun getting together with friends and just being goofy for a night. We obviously dressed up like our favorite Lost characters and ate Dharma food and had a scavenger hunt and everything.
These only crack the surface of my favorite things. There are so many more, but time is not on my side today. So what are some of your favorite trivial things?

Great list! And the LOST party? I'm not a fan myself, but what a fun thing that looks like!
Oh, and I'm all over the Harvest Spice too. Good stuff.
