My fun and fabulous friends and family.
This is James and I drinking Cafe Creme in Paris.

Hello everyone,
Today my blog will be light and upbeat....it's all about my favorite things. This may seem rather self indulgent but I don't care. I hope it brings insight and some clarity into who I am so that as you listen to my music, you will feel maybe slightly connected to me. Which leads to my first favorite thing....
1. Buddies. Let it be known that I have coined the phrase "Life is better with a buddy." It's true, I can't think of any situation where I don't like having a friend. I made a buddy at my substitute teacher orientation and it made the whole 3 hour experience that much more bareable. I shared with her the pop tart I smuggled in, she lent me her pen. It was a good experience. So...I love my friends. I am blessed to have really, really, good ones. I measure this qualtitatively and here is the scale: Will they go to Olive Garden with me? Do they hug me when I'm sad? Will they listen to me about all my Lost theories? And I'm lucky, because yes... there are people in my life that do these things.
2. Samuel Shadinger is one of my favorite things in life. He's my maltipoo, but he looks just like a maltese. I have never had a pet until I was 26. I had an eel once for a day when I was 10 and he ate my brother's fish Zorro and so I had to take him back the next day. Tragic experience. So I love it when Samuel has to sleep touching me. He either rests his back to me or puts his leg on me. I love it.
Ok, so I going to stop numbering things and just list them:
Cool side of the pillowcase
Olive Garden
Epic movies like Lord of the Rings (I read all three books after seeing just the first one)
Good mysteries like LOST and 24. But Lost is the real love of my heart. Sayid.... amazing
Christmas: My mom's christmas dishes, real christmas trees and christmas music, all our ornments from all over the world (especially the pearl and diamonds ornaments that Gigi made. )
A good cup of tea: I like mine with milk and a little sugar and my husband makes the best tea in the universe. This is why I married him... I mean in the universe.
Waking up and than realizing I don't have to get up and going back to sleep.
Sleeping, especially in my sheets...They are heaven. I have even asked God to have those sheets in my house in heaven. He can do it you know... He made everything.
Having my friends over for dinner so I can use my cool dishes and practice cooking. I also like really unique table cloths and I love setting up my table. I have these cool cups and saucers that are part of my every day china, and it reminds of being in a cafe in Europe drinking Cafe Creme. Every coffee beverage is served with a cup AND saucer. I like it.
I love it when my husband plays drums on me.. On my arm or leg or whatever.. He finds the rhythm in everything and then plays it on me.
Games...Group games or one on one games of scrabble with my mom. I just like games.
Really cool clicky keyboards or buttons. Like on a phone or computer...
All things muppet....Muppets Take Manhattan, The Great Muppet Caper ..
One dollar gambling tickets that I am only allowed to get when I'm traveling.
Mashed potatoes and gravy and corn and gravy and rolls in gravy...pretty much Thanksgiving.
When my Grammie hums and talks to herself while she gets ready.. Also when she taps the glass on the window in my car while she reads every sign from the road. I also love it when my Papa argues with the navigation system in their car.
The way my Dad looks in his uniform and the way his freshly clean shaven cheek feels and smells when I give him a kiss on his cheek.
My Family...I love that we go bowling or go to the Montgomery Biscuits baseball game. We just have fun.
Ok last one for now......When you go to the movie theater and your movie is on the REALLY BIG screen that they only have one of. Usually I am in one of the side smaller screen theaters and I get so excited when I round the corner and wham!! I'm in the really big one. I sit right in the center or slightly higher up.
Please feel free to comment other favorite things like when you are driving and you don't hit any red lights. I love to hear them. Love to you all.
