Things That Make My Brain Melt

  I was having a conversation with my friend Erica recently, and we discovered that there are a lot of things that a.) make my brain melt or b.) make unicorns and glitter shoot out of my freaking head and my brain splode. Around Christmas, it seems that that happens more and more, so if you want to know exactly what makes me hoot, here's a brief list of mostly year-round melt/glitter-causers. 

1. Baby anything (well, except maybe reptiles or snakes)
2. "Something There That Wasn't There Before" from Beauty and the Beast
3. The last few minutes of Beauty and the Beast, when Belle's crying over Beast and it starts raining glittery fireworks
4. John Enos's Chihuahuas, Duke and Bruno, dressed up for Christmas (see: Twitter)
5. Mufasa and baby Simba together
6. Personal slideshows on Google Docs that perfectly showcase my insanity
7. The big romantic love song in any Disney movie
8. Kittens playing with yarn
9. Extravagant gingerbread houses
10. Kids playing in the snow
11. My little cousins playing with the wrapping paper and boxes more than the actual gift
12. A really good fairy-tale
13. The ending of "Cool Hand Guerrero," where Chance gives him a snowglobe for his son and then you see Guerrero pulling up to the house in his ElDo
14. The picture of Guerrero's son in the same episode
15. Watching people unwrap Christmas presents and being totally excited about what they get
16. Seeing that I have more than a thousand views on this blog so far.
