Way back in October, I signed up for a little game on Return to Rural. She gave me the letter B. Sorry this is late, Tenzin!

The premise is that if you have a blog and leave a comment on this post, I’ll assign you a letter. You take that letter and make a list of 10 things you love that begin with that letter. Then, you pass on the letter love to the bloggers who make comments on your post. It’s creative and social!

Ten things I love that start with the letter “B,” in random order:

1. Bakers. Especially Skippy Baker, which works out well, since we’re married!
2. Bagels. Toasted, with both butter and peanut butter.
3. Busy. A trait I inherited from my father and grandfather, it seems. I like to be occupied, either mentally or physically, most of the time. I’m currently working 3 jobs, presenting to the local Mac User Group tomorrow, volunteering for monthly technology help sessions, and building my own business. My leisure time is spent doing photography, videography, blogging, some video games, and reading. And I sleep and eat too.
4. Bacon. Yes, I was vegetarian for a couple of years, but I really like bacon. Especially thick, slow-cooked, chewy bacon. Especially good wrapped in toast slathered with butter…which I only eat once a month or less, so no, I don’t weigh 800 pounds.
5. Buckets. If it weren’t for buckets, I would have a really hard time feeding the dogs, getting water, and containing trash, among other things. Yay, buckets!
6. Blogging. 4 years of my totally awesome and interesting life and counting!
7. Bill of Rights. (Mostly) Guaranteeing freedoms since 1791. Somewhat trampled since 2001. Still worth fighting for.
8. Buffs. Sara P. (no, not “Palin,” though that was her Halloween costume) got us these last year. They are awesome. Less cumbersome than a scarf, more versatile than a neck gaiter, perfect for Alaska.
9. Baked goods. Especially sweet baked goods. There are several excellent bakeries in Homer. Fortunately, I don’t usually drive past them when I’m in town, otherwise I’d be a lot poorer. (Strange that I married a Baker? I THINK NOT.)
10. Blankets. On the bed, on the couch, in the car…I love blankets. So warm. So cozy. So…blankety.

By the looks of my list, if I had gotten an “F” instead of a “B,” I could have just written FOOD really big and called it good.

Who wants a letter?
