A few of my favorite things...
As I was sitting in a extremely boring opening session today (aka for my schools version of a pep rally to kick off the new school year), I was distracted by the songs going on in my head. As it was, our opening session was in a theater which put me in a musical mood. Therefore I have been singing My Favorite Things from the Sound of Music over and over again in my head. So, I decided to generate a list of a few of my favorite things. This was a totally random list, so in no particular order...
1. Rainbows
2. Lighthouses
3. Apples (to eat and the smell of them).
4. Lilacs
5. Roses
6. A child's giggle
7. Curling up with a good book
8. Having a Jane Austen movie marathon
9. Bubble baths
10. Sleeping in
11. Mackinac Island (the whole general place)
12. Hammocks (I want one for my back yard)
13. Getting a compliment from someone
14. Being invited out with a friend
15. Swinging
16. Eating Chocolate
17. The smell of towels straight out of the dryer
18. Hanging out with my family
19. Traveling
20. Blogging :)
21. Going to a musical
22. Listening to good music
23. Looking through a telescope
24. Roasting marshmallows & singing around a campfire
25. Looking at old pictures.
The list could go on for a while.
What are a few of your favorite things.

If you use that free ticket and a few days we wouldn't have to miss the 50th. Sept? Oct? Please!!!

It would probably have to be October - there is no way in September because I will probably be switching classes. I'll start looking.

Wanna come to Disneyland anyone? :-) The more in the hotel room, the cheaper it is!!!
