15 Favorites

I got tagged by Twosret to list my 15 favorite things.
Here they are as of 5 minutes ago:


Photoshop!


I have always loved this painting. It speaks for me. (I'm glad they found it)


I've been going crazy trying to clean the kitchen without a sponge lately. I finally bought these last week, and I have so much fun using them instead of trying to find towels and wasting napkins. My husband says this is his favorite this week, because everytime he has cooked lately and gone to wipe his hands I could hear him grumble to himself about the damn wet towels.


My husband wanted to make dinner the other night, and came up with this new appetizer. I was very hungry and that was not enough, but I loved it.


Van Gogh.


Veggies.


Swimming at the beach. Damn, I can't believe summer is over!


I enjoy reading my mother's letters and looking at her handwritting when I miss her and want to get close to her again.


Kittens, especially the homeless ones.


Trying to make the cat wear the hijab, and seeing the resistance.


Practical jokes when my coworkers go to lunch.


My favorite time of the day: night.


Old pictures. This one is of my grandmother's classroom.


The Carthage Music Festival held every year at the Roman amphitheater.


Early morning walks on empty streets in Prague.

    I also got this tag yesterday.
    It seems it's really a small blogsphere after all.

    I love that picture (your grandmother's classroom).
    I'm quite fond of old pictures myself...they posses class that's really hard to find these days.

    Where was it taken?

    nice pic of prague... makes me want to go there.

    i like the dish your husband prepared or rather it looks good. what is it? and your veggie plate looks delish. yum.

    i like photoshop too but use it differently in that i take pics and create interesting pieces of what i consider to be art from it.

    nice list you have here. does your list of favs change because you're a gemini?

    oh yeah, really sweet pics of the cats. i love kittens too.. and the hijab is just too cute on the cat.

    some of my fav photos are old ones of my mother. i also save all of my mom's old letters and cards to me.

    Leila, when i get up there, I'll bring Mardi Gras with me( one of my faves along with alligator bits and GMC pick up trucks)

    When are you coming?

    Cherry,
    The picture was taking somewhere in the States, maybe in Cleveland.I am not sure.

    Tooners,
    The dish my husband made is a new dish that he learned that same day from some show on the cooking channel.It's basically Belgian endive leaves with a soft cheese(mixed with a little basil pesto) and chopped roasted red pepper.

    "does your list of favs change because you're a Gemini? "
    I guess so, I am very moody...take for example last weekend. I was so fed up and tired of everything for no reason that I thought of stopping blogging.Then I thought to myself that I should just calm down and wait till I am up again. My husband made wonderful martinis last night and that cheered me up (Maybe it was the Hasselhoff video) . Now I am back to my usual self.

    What great pics!

    Look at you hobnobbing with the world's (in)famous leaders ;)
    A man who looked just like that gave up his seat for me on the train today, yay.

    Awesome cat in the box, he has amazing eyes.

    Also, what they hey is that stuff your hubby put on those endive(?) leaves?

    The salad in the middle looks yummy.

    And Prague, I wanna go there before it gets overpriced.

    I would love to see a cat-in-hijab photo series! That's hilarious and would be sure to get nicely trafficked.
