The letter "s"

Here's the deal:

If you want to play, leave a comment on this post letting me know, and I'll assign you a letter. You write about ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter, and post it at your place. When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on..

Yay, the lovely Stephanie @ My Answered Prayer gave me the letter S:

1. Soup! Ok, it's mostly a winter thing but I eat soup like every day. Yeah, once in a while I'm lazy and go for the can, but mostly I make them myself and then freeze them in individual glass bowls. Last week Ryan and I made crab bisque (it's his specialty). It is SO delicious but not very healthy (what with all the butter and half and half). So I only eat tiny bowls of it with a salad.

2. Sandals – Ok, mostly a summer thing but here's a secret - I HATE SHOES! Er, I HATE SOCKS! I'm SO excited when I get home to take off my socks. I wish I could wear sandals year round, but don't want to live somewhere warm, so that's never gonna happen.

3. School – Well, my school. It is the most progressive, interesting, and successful school I have ever worked at or attended. I am so proud to work there and happy that I have a job that I look forward to every day.

4. Sewing! I haven't had too much time this year to do it but once I start, it's hard to stop until I'm done so I wind up staying up till like 4am. Once of these days I'll stop having like four jobs and have time to sew.

5. Staying busy! Ok, tying this on to the last one… I have four jobs. Job #1 I'm a school nurse. Job #2 I waitress and bartend on weekends and in the summer. I could quit, but I've been there for almost eight years! My boss is like my second mother, I love all the chefs, and I would just miss it. I

can't quit (until my boss retires, which will probably be within a year or two). Job #3 I have a "client" on Thursday nights. He is a 21 year old boy with a rare chromosomal dislocation. I've known and worked with him and his family for six+ years. He's my favorite person in the world and I'll probably have him in my life until I die. Job #4 Ok, and it's not really a "job" but my etsy store keeps me busy - screenprinting t-shirts, finding, photographing and measuring vintage clothes.

6. Screenprinting – I'm seriously amazed at how awesome screenprinting is. I love that it's crafty, but with professional looking results. Seriously, so fun!

7. Sailing – the boy has a sailboat. It's so fun to just be out in the middle of a lake, no engine, no exhaust, just the wind. I'm even starting to know what I'm doing!

8. Singing – provided no one can hear me. Seriously, I have a TERRIBLE voice. I don't even have a nice speaking voice. Go watch a Scarlett Johannson movie. I have her voice. Exactly. I've been told it many times. It's deep and it's awful. However, I will sing at the top of my lungs in the car, in the shower, and you may get me to do some karaoke, provided I've had a few cocktails and I get to sing the boy parts.

9. Straws. I love drinking out of straws, all drinks should have them.

10. Sunglasses – I love vintage sunglasses. I have like 20 pairs (cause they were all like a dollar and I tend to lose them).

I could throw down like a million more, but it only said ten, so there you go! Everyone comment to play! It's fun!
