"...these are a few of my favorite things..."

Since it thundered about an hour ago I have heard Julie Andrews singing "My Favorite Things" from The Sound Of Music (one of My favorite things, or movies at least). I figured that was enough inspiration for a post. Well, I have to give my sister a little credit here too... she did a "Favorite Things" post as well, but it was modeled more after the Oprah Show's favorite things theme they do once a season where they give a bunch of stuff away. Anyway, that is geared more toward favorite products (I might post on that later - good for a slow blog day), but today I decided to post on some of my favorite things. Maybe some of the less obvious things around my home that are, well, favorites! So here it goes...

Scrabble!

This is actually a new favorite. It is something that mom and I have taken up doing in our spare time when I visit her in Ooltewah and I am now addicted! I figure, it must be good for my brain and it's fun too! Can't beat that!

Games!

Okay, so maybe Scrabble should have been included in this category. I absolutely love playing games! My most recent favorites include Scene It? Squabble (its males v. females and SO MUCH FUN!), Catch Phrase, and Balderdash!

Cookbooks!

I love cookbooks and recipes in general. Sometimes I will just sit and flip through a recipe book for ideas! I think church cookbooks are the best!!!!

Wine!

Okay, maybe this isn't a less obvious favorite thing, but it is certainly in the favorite thing category! Let's face it... there is NOTHING that a good wine doesn't go with! On a spring of summer day a nice wine spritzer, a summer night - a cool Chardonnay, in the fall a nice Merlot or Cabernet! Mmmmm... (please excuse me while I go grab a bottle... I mean glass! Ha!)

Organizational Stuff!

I love all things organizational! Calendars, notebooks, crates, bins, file folders, sharpies! Anything that can help me be organized is a winner and makes the favorite things list... I know, I am a nerd!

Hm... just talking about my favorite things makes me light hearted! Unfortunately blogger must be tired because it won't let me load any more pictures, so that will have to wrap up my favorite things for today! I will just make a "To be continued..." and share 5 of my other favorite things in my next post!

I would love to hear about some of your favorite things if you are having a slow blog week! I was going to tag people, but I think I'll leave it at that!
