My Ten Favorite Things of 2012

If this list is any indication, I’ve had a pretty weird year. In no particular order…

1. Obama’s Reelection

YESSSSSSSS!!! So happy I’m not writing this blog post from Canada right now.

2. Lena Dunham/Girls

Oh, Ms. Dunham. Thank you for coming into my life and giving birth to what was hands down the best new show of 2012.

3. Nick Foles

In hindsight, he may prove to be the silver lining of The Philadelphia Eagles’ horrendous 2012 season. He also kept me tuning in every Sunday.

4. Cowboy Boots

Seriously, I want to wear mine everyday, with every outfit. I also want like ten more pairs.

5. Homeland

Never has a TV show has ever caused me so many sleepless nights.

6. Binders Full of Women

I don’t know about you, but I needed some comedic relief by the final presidential debate.

7. Chris Hemsworth

Fuck Snow White—the movie should have been called The Huntsman & His Seven Sexy/Angry Facial Expressions.

8. Jose Ole’s Taquitos

The most delicious microwaveable Mexican food you can ask for in just 60 seconds or less. Not sure how I would have survived these past 12 months without them.

9. The Philadelphia Live Arts/Fringe Festival

I honestly can’t even tell you how many awesome shows and performances I had the pleasure of seeing. Ten, maybe?

10. This Video…

Doesn’t get much cuter than this, folks. And after a mind-numbing election, devastating natural disaster and horrific mass shooting, I think we could all use more videos of adorable kittens doing adorable kitten things.
