101 Of My Favourite Things
Twenty minutes ago, I spent some time with Seeker (the pet dog of the kids I babysit) because they're gone for the whole day and needed me to let him outside at one point... and my heart is still breaking from leaving the poor little guy :o( I guess it was pretty cool to see Sue G (our neighbour) for the first time in ages, but I still feel really guilty for leaving the dog all alone. He's such a sweet puppy.
So, here's a list of 101 of my favourite things (to try to cheer myself up). Aaah. I really hope any number of you, even one of you, decides to make this list for yourself as well - it's so much fun to read your own quiz / survey / meme answers, and gain inspiration from each of you...
