These are a few of my favorite things...

Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kitten. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Barbara Streisand had it right when she sang that song. As a memory project in 5th grade, I had to learn all the words to that song and have loved it every since. Have you ever stopped to think of what are a few of your favorite things? I like to think that I am pretty in tune with myself and know what I like but I find new things to like everyday. But I thought maybe I'd share a few of MY favorite things. I may not present them quite as poetically as the song but hey, no one said I was a literary genius. 

I like the smell of my children when they wake up in the morning. I'm not talking about their breath that is so kickin' that I assume someone's teaching karate in their mouths, but the smell of their hair and nape of their neck. That smell that is uniquely theirs and kind of sleepy. 

I love grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup on cold days. The smell of yummy things baking in the oven that have cinnamon, nutmeg or spices all warm and delicious in them that has a fragrance that trickles through out the house while it's cooking. 

I love train wreck TV, especially on BBC America. BBC America Reveals is great for Wednesday night fodder. I also love another Brit, Chef Gordon Ramsey and his "Kitchen Nightmares" on Fox. Dancing with the Stars is also good for mindless TV watching. CSI but only the CSI on Thursday nights in Las Vegas, no Miami for me. I like any show that showcases out of the ordinary people or health situations on Discovery Health or TLC. TLC also has the Duggar family and their almost 18 children. Michelle Duggar has the patience of Job. I need a little more Michelle Duggar in MY life. 

I love toast with peanut butter and sugar. It's healthy, I know but it's delicious. My sister and I have been eating it since childhood and we both ate it for breakfast today. It's yummy. 

I love that I have family and friends that love and support me and my family. That they get the fact that I am crazy as a outhouse rat but love me anyway. Tomorrow is November 1st and November 1st is one of my MOST favorite days of the whole year. Why, you may ask. Well, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out!
