My Favorite Things

November 26th, 2008

Since we’re still getting to know eachother around here, I thought it might be fun to tell you about 13 of my favorite things. And, if this was Oprah’s site, she’d probably give ya’ll one of everything. But since I’m not Oprah and ya’ll aren’t here sitting in my audience, all I have to offer is pictures of my favorite things.

I have not included my hubby or my kids on this list, because I don’t consider people to be things.

13 OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

1. The Automatic Side Sliding Door opener on my key fob. My grocery getter minivan while not known for its sex appeal is certainly popular in the comfort, usability and space categories. Those automatic sliding side doors have become one of my favorite things because I am typically holding a hand, a purse, a diaper bag, a bag of something and a Dr. Pepper. In other words, I don’t have a free hand to open the door. I especially appreciate them on rainy, windy days.

2. Romance Perfume – My favorite perfume is Romance by Ralph Lauren. It not only smells fabulous, it comes in a cute square bottle.

3. Longaberger Baskets- I collect Longaberger Baskets and have 120+ baskets in my collection. I am also a Longaberger Home Consultant and could set you up with one or two or ten of them.

4. Cranberry Chutney Yankee Candle – My all-time favorite candle flavor. I triple love the cranberry chutney scent, although I’m ashamed to admit I have no idea what chutney is. (Note to self: Ask Good Friend Google about Chutney).

5. My favorite drink is Dr. Pepper – Before the Great-Weight-Loss-Effort-2008, I kept a never-ending supply of Dr. Pepper in my fridge. Now though, I don’t keep them in the fridge because I do not have the sense to leave them alone. I do enjoy one from time to time when I’m out to dinner though.

6. Olive Garden Spaghetti – is my all time favorite meal, although I do love all kinds of spaghetti especially my Mom’s and the Mil’s (Mother-in-law).

7. Casting Crowns – I listen to Casting Crowns more than any other group out there. I triple love their music.

8.My iPod Nano- McDaddy got me an iPod for Mother’s Day last year and I use it everyday at the gym. I have 241 songs on my beloved iPod that looks just like the one you see here. My listening library includes Chris Sligh, Mariah Carey, Alanis Morisette, TLC, Sugar Hill Gang, Brandon Heath, Blackstreet, Faith Hill, Natalie Grant, David Archuleta, Coolio, Elton John and Carrie Underwood. See, I told you it was vast.

9. My Roomba iRobot – Although it is currently out of commission due to a dead battery, it remains one of my favorite inventions. It is the closest thing to a maid I will ever have.

10. My iPhone- It’s like an American express. I don’t leave home without it.

11. My TiVo - In my humble opinion, the TiVo is the greatest invention of my time. Me and my TiVo are very close. We are great friends. Buds. Pals. Cohorts. You get my drift. My daily docket gets longer everyday. Oh, TiVo, I do love you so.

12. God’s Promises – His mercies are new daily. I am so undeserving of the blessings in my life, yet, he blesses me anyway. He has made me a new creature and my favorite things would not be complete without including His Word. Now you get the whole Princess thing. I will wear a crown someday and it will be fabulous.

13. Saturn Sky – My absolute favorite thing is the sexy, sleek Saturn Sky. If I were to hit the lottery, inherit a fortune or rob a bank, the Saturn dealer would be my very first stop.

There you have it. Thirteen of my favorite things.

Thanks for stopping by.
