Join the Thursday 13 here

1. Bed.
   Always warm, soft and comforting my bed is my very most favorite place to be. There’s nothing like settling down at night, reading a book, playing sudoku, catching up with Jimbo or petting the kitties in bed.
2. Barnes & Noble.
   When I don’t know what to do with myself or I need some immediate comfort I go to B&N. I browse the stacks and get lost in the possiblities. I love the fact that people are *mostly* quiet and all in our own heads. Add Starbucks and flipping through People free to charge and you can’t go wrong!
3. TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Home Goods.
   They’re all in the same category – discounted clothes, accessories, home goods and everything I could ever want. I grab a carriage where I place every item that I want. After a few hours of browsing, I go through my cart and let go of the items I don’t need, and sometimes that’s all of them. There’s something about pushing things around in the cart that makes me feel like they’re mind for just a little while and sometimes that’s all I need.
4. Gloria Ferrer Vineyard in Sonoma Valley.
   Jimbo and I sat on the front porch before noon on my 30th birthday sipping champagne, looking out onto the vast grapvines for miles. A very special moment.
5. Target.
   Very similar to #3, but a little bit different. I don’t usually do the cart thing, but I will browse for ages, looking at all the possibilties, checking out my favorite sections – especially the one spot and the stationery.
6. Godiva Chocolatier.
   Some of my best days ever included browsing the mall and stopping into Godiva for a single piece of chocolate. A simple, decadent treat that’s just enough to make me happy.
7. On top of a mountain.
   I’m not picky, any mountain will do, preferably with a view and a peanut buter and fluff sammich. I haven’t climbed a mountain in quite a while but there’s an amazing feeling I get when I get to the top. Accomplishment, peace. Quiet!
8. Jan’s car.
   I’m in there so often and whenever I’m there (MOST times I’m there) I’m having a grand old time. Almost like home.
9. The boulevard.
   This is one of the places that Jimbo and I had our first date. It’s near our house, so we stop by and walk every now and then. My favorite spot is the bench we sat on our first date, followed by the make-do bench where Jimbo popped the question.
10. Fancy places.
    Restaurants, spas… you name it, if it’s first class it’s like home to me. Mostly it’s the quiet grandeur of places like these, or the fact that everyone’s dressed up, on their best behavior and the service is most often impeccable.
11. The bath.
    Due to our teeny-tiny on-demand water heater, baths are out of the question in our house. It still remains one of my very favorite places to be. Nice warm water, covered in pretty-smelling bubbles without a care in the world.
12. Boston.
    A great place to go on a sunny day. So many places to walk, so many things to do. A walk down Newbury Street through the gardens and the common to Fanueil Hall and the North End. It’s easy to waste a day in the city.
13. Jimbo’s arms.
    Yeah yeah, I’m a cheeseball, but you totally expected it, didn’t you? It’s the most comfortable place in the world. Warm, safe and loved.

1. I'd really like a megan-day right now.
2. Fuuuuuudddddgggggeeeeee is the word you'd most often hear me say if I stubbed my toe.
3. Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
4. Janet saw a Valentine's Day card last night with Captain Jack Sparrow.
5. Marshmallows and fire go together like marshmallows, chocolate and graham cracker.
6. Happieness goes on and on, you just have to start spreading it..
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to parking it on the couch with wedding invites, maybe having a friend stop over, tomorrow my plans include an appointment and maybe some laundry and Sunday, I want to chillio

1. Oh, I am so obsessed with the Twilight series!
2. Life is about changes, big and little.
3. During President Obama's Inauguration, I was watching and Facebooking on CNN.
4. Only three months until the wedding; are you kidding me???
5. Right now I'd like to be free; I'd leave the office, spend an hour or two at the bookstore, hit the mall and then head home to the kitties and the couch and work on wedding invitations.
6. Our new Wii & WiiFit are is my favorite gadgets.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a quiet night at home with the chickens, the DVR (new Fringe! and this week's John Stewart) and Janet if she wants to come over, tomorrow my plans include meeting with the ceremony musician, doing laundry, working on wedding stuff, cleaning my ungodly room, maybe get some work done!and Sunday, I want to do everything I can to make the day easier on Janet.
