ASHLEY'S FAVORITE THINGS IN '05!!
- Courrier New 12 pt. font.......seriously, try it in a word document and see how much longer it makes your papers! Students, it will revolutionize the way you do your research papers!
- Entire Seasons of a television show on dvd.....Is there a better way to spend a lazy day on the couch?
- Fondue....I owe this favorite thing to Deanna, Miss Paris herself! Cheese, chocolate, you name it. I do not discriminate when it comes to fondue.
- Icee's...and more specifically "polar bear icee's" according to Jason. What is the deal with Texas and their boycott on polar bear icee's. I mean even if you do find one you have to pay $2.50 for it!!!
- Side-swept bangs...This hairstyle has been a God-send to girls like me who have eternal baby hairs and wispies around their face that sometimes curl up and look like wings. Thank you side-swept bangs for providing camoflauge!
- DOTS Fashions (clothing store)....This is a recent find. I discovered DOTS last week as I was making a Wal-Mart run. Think cheap prices like at It's Fashion in Ruston but super-cute clothes! Looks like I will get detoured frequently seeing how both stores practically share a parking lot.
- Goose Down Comforters....I can't think of much else that is cozier on a cold morning than snuggling up in a big, fluffy down comforter.
- Blogspot...This service was once one of my major forms of communication when I was in Zambia. If you are reading this now, then most likely you yourself are a fan of blogspot or some other website host.
- Ginger Essence Perfume by Origins....My sister wore this once a few years back and I always liked it. So, a couple of months ago I bought some of this aromatic goodness. It is a perfect scent for fall and winter in my opinion.
- White Tea and Ginger Body Lotion by Bath and Body Works....This is the perfect accompaniment to the aforementioned Ginger Essence.
- Sweatshirts With a Kangaroo Pouch....To me, comfort is a well-worn sweatshirt and the crowning jewel of a sweatshirt is not a hood, but rather a place to put your hands. I think the kangaroo pouch should be a standard feature in sweatshirts. Even if you do not want to put your hands in it, it is great for keys and cell phones.
- AUSTIN!!!!!....I think everyone should have one, but, sorry, I do not share.
- My Grandma's Pecan Pie....I could share the recipe, but then I would have to kill you. I am under strict orders to be extremely picky in giving out the "secret recipe." Also, in recent months, this recipe has become even more dear to me.
- Rachel Ray on the Food Network....I love her cooking show "30-minute Meals"!!! I was randomly flipping through the channels one day and decided to stop on the Food Network for the first time ever and her show was on. I do not know why I like her so much but I do!!
- RISK!!....This game brings out the ultra-competitive and manipulative Ashley.....what a great game!!!
- For Every Body Candles....These candles can really fill a room! I am a believer in this brand (and they can be bought from Kohl's or at www.foreverybody.com).
- Arbonne Swiss Skin Care and Cosmetics...Yes, I too, use Arbonne (for any female who knows what Arbonne is). My sister is a consultant for it and she "baptized" me into it this summer. I really like their make-up and it makes me feel grown up to use it.
- Cotton Candy....What is not to like about pink or blue spun sugar that melts on your tounge???
- Six Flags Season Pass....Austin and I took advantage of ours this weekend. How great to be able to spend 2 hours at the park, ride two rides (three is you count the carousel), eat some cotton candy, walk around holding hands, and decide it is time to leave! The best $40 I spent this summer.
For now, this is my official Favorite Things '05 list.
Again, feel free to leave some comments.

You're being cut off from both CSI and Friends!
I agree with you about the icees. I get so excited when I see the polar bear in the window of a gas station, which is not often around here. I look forward to the next installation of Ashley's favorite things. Although, you need to include pictures, because you know I don't like to read that much.
Hey, we had some cotton candy this weekend too. We had ours, however, at the much revered, nay, legendary Homer Christmas festival (where we also had good times w/ ole Sarah [Harris] Moss, by the way).
hey... ms. ashlee, i see chris mac has taught you well in risk... that's awesome... i am thinking of going to forth worth for school... i am glad you like it there... that's encouraging...
I guess pi didn't qualify because it has been a favorite for a while? But what about Brookes? He is new to 2005.
Be looking for some Japanese hits on your site. I have been recommending it migi and hidari to my nihonjin friends! You should get that little country counter thing that Mike has and see if you can get more international readers than him.
