Puppies and If I were a Microsoft application, I'd be ListMaker 2010.

We have nine puppies! They were five weeks old on Friday. We are keeping the one I'm holding, her name is Belle.

I make lists, that's what I do.

I have a list of favorite books of all-time, which rapidly expanded in 2009.

I have a list of top ten songs.

Throughout my life I have always been making lists of my favorite foods, Xmas wishlists, and countless others, usually based on the 1-10 system.

Another thing I do is I hate things. I hate animals, I hate the color yellow, and I hate lace. Most people know that I am full of opinions and like "Mariella", they just have to come out. So I am done with the hates and onto the loves.

Coming soon: 100 Things that I Love.

Here's a preview.

1. Peanut butter

2. Young Adult books

3. The color green

4. Death Cab for Cutie

5. Blue skys

(I'm sorry, but I must include a list of things I hate, for old time's sake.)
