101 Things I Like

Full disclosure, I’m stealing this blog post idea from Aaron, who stole it from Jess. I knew she had blogged about it a few weeks ago but I had forgotten about it. I guess it wasn’t that memorable. That was a joke, Jess!

They both used the title: 101 Things That Make Me Happy. I’ve changed it to 101 Things I Like.

Why? Well, I like orange juice with the pulp. Does it make me happy? No. It gives me a sore throat. I still like it, though, because its intentions were good. And it makes me feel like I’m drinking something disgusting on Fear Factor and actually enjoying it.
