Painting is something I really love to do. I love color and, though I am picky about colors for rooms, I love to apply the paint. It transforms a room and environment with just one stroke! I like being able to see my progress as I move across the room with the roller. A simple and perhaps unusual thing to like but I do!

A fabulous piece of software. Again, endless possibilities. You can do so many things with Photoshop: make a brochure, eliminate red eye, make a black and white photo or even make a whole picture book! The interface is well thought out, easy to learn and the tools and features are numerous and useful. I use it a lot when I do editorial work for jobs or in art classes when I want to get something just right. Love it!

A cool, healthy treat. Filled with fruit, they cannot possibly make you feel guilty! I use them when I'm trying to be healthy (aka dieting-ish) and I put protein powder in them so I can make them a whole meal without feeling like I'm abusing myself. You can experiment endlessly with them. Yogurt, milk, cream, juice or ice cream. Strawberries, bananas, mango or berries. Or all of the above! A good blender is crucial, though, so invest some money and make yourself a healthy meal!

It's a major dream of mine. I want to go house shopping and be struck dumb by the perfectness of one. I want to fall in love and be breathless with excitement at finding a place where I can feel myself living and making wonderful memories. I want to paint and decorate and buy furniture. I want to garden and have a stable and a horse in the backyard with dogs and cats running around. I may even want to share it with someone but they'll have to help me clean the place!

This totally doesn't count as a food--it's a place! It's an amazing ice creamery that lets you select all kinds of ingredients (cake, cookie dough, all sorts of candy, fruit and cookies) to be mixed in to your ice cream (they have great flavors, too). I usually get vanilla ice cream with strawberries and yellow cake mixed in. They use metal scoops and a warm marble slab and fold the ingredients in to the ice cream until it's a delicious mixture of awesome happiness. Kind of on the expensive side but definitely worth it. A special ice cream treat!

Oh look! Not a food! The Internet, as well all undoubtedly know, is amazing and has changed the world forever. Information is easily, quickly accessible and you can talk to almost anyone virtually instantly. The possibilities of things you can do with the Internet are endless and new tools and ideas are being developed all the time. I can play games, talk to friends, find out all sorts of information, listen to radio stations across the world, and do so many other amazing things.

One of my favorite things to eat (though, by my other entries, it looks like I enjoy almost every food item). Sticky and nutty and healthy and perfect. I prefer rice over a potato or noodle side. It makes me feel healthy and it fills me up in a way that makes me feel content rather than weighed down. It is great with a lot of things (teriyaki sauce!!!!) and comes with some of my favorite types of food--Japanese and Chinese!
