these are a few of my favorite things

For some reason I have had the "These are a few of my favorite things" song stuck in my head this afternoon and I cannot for the life of me get it out.  I have tried listening to other music, I've watched t.v., read part of a book... nothing.  So I suppose I should take all of my frustration out in my blog, right? 
I promise I will not do such a thing, but, I will share a few of MY favorite things:

1.  fall, Fall, FALL!  Oh gollly I love fall!  It's so beautiful, the weather is perfect, it's magnificent.  I love to sit outside and read and drink some delicious tea, or drive around with the windows down, it's just... perfect. 
2.  Music.  I couldn't live without music.  I don't have a favorite band or even a favorite genre because I love so many of them.  There always seems to be a perfect playlist or just a perfect song for each day.
3.  Coffee.  Yes my friends, I have started to drink coffee.  I don't drink it every day, but I think that eventually it may happen.  Just a warning.  But it is delicious. 
4.  All things pumpkin.  This should probably go under the "fall" category, but I feel as though it deserves it's own placement, because of it's greatness. 
5.  Movies.  I may as well add "especially chick flicks" to this one.  I have a crazy ammount of movies, and I love them all.  Especially when they involve Audrey Hepburn, or Katherine Hepburn.  I also live for musicals.  Sometimes life is one big musical, especially when my mom is involved because she sings EVERYthing (and now my sister and I do as well). 
6.  Fluffy pillows and Down Comforters.  Amen.
7.  Delicious smelling candles. 
8.  Sunday Afternoon Naps
9.  The Elliptical
10.  Laughter
11.  Christmas Lights (all year round- no, not the tacky kind that people often leave on their porches over an extended period of time, the pretty kind.)
12.  Reading- I think I've started about 3 books and I cannot decide which one I'd rather read first.
13.  Hair cuts
14.  Movie nights, baking, family dinner, Wii competitions, watching home videos, and just plain being ridiculous with my family.  I don't mean to brag, but my family is the greatest.  End of story. 
15.  I should probably stop here since I could go on forever... so the last one will be:  Inside jokes.
(do you see what I did there, no explanation)

So there you have it, some of my favorite things- make sure you take time to actually ENJOY your favorite things often.  Because when I have a horrible day "I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feeeeeeeeel so baaaaaaaaaaad."  Too cheesy?  Good.
