My Favorite Things
Posted on August 27, 2006 - Filed Under Humor, Just For Fun, Life
Yes, Julie Andrews isn’t the only one who has favorite things. I certainly have mine. Like…
Anytime, any team beats the Yankees. Okay New Yorkers, sorry but I just get a thrill when some underdog team cleans their clock. Must be that David and Goliath syndrome.
When my room mate has had too much wine to practice Cross Roads for the 1,114th time. Even better if he decides to hit the sack rather than watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy for the 512th time at full-tilt, stereophonic warp speed.
Driving down the road when all the other drivers on the road apparently passed their drivers’ tests.
Buying shoes. Okay, it’s a girl thing. And it doesn’t even matter if I have anything to go with them. Just gimme more shoes, that’s all I ask.
Diet coke, no matter how many rats it affects adversely.
Watching a whole movie with nobody making editorial comments or discussing sports scores, cars or the best way to roll a cigarette.
Pants that make my ass look good. Believe me, this is a miracle from God when it happens.
Seeing the handsomest guy in the place go after the smart chick.
My dog chasing her tail just cuz she’s happy. And barking at phantom squirrels, possums and intruders.
Babies who laugh when you cross your eyes at them.
Men who are afraid to cry. I mean really, we hear them spit, grunt, belch and snore - must we hear them cry too?
Good books. Stupid jokes. Steak dinners. Corn on the cob. Cold watermelon.
Men who aren’t prettier than me, don’t have better hygiene than me and don’t carry a purse or anything that could be mistaken for same.
More than 3 comments on a post. A great idea for a post. Getting the great idea for the post on paper before I forget it.
And of course, chocolate. Preferrably served by a handsome, naked man who is desperately in love with me.
Well, these are a few of my favorite things….what are yours?

Laughter in the house.
The sound of the word, “Daddy” when spoken by a daughter.
My wife’s green eyes.
Experiencing “the zone” when I write.
Cool sunsets.
Stars.
Guinness.
A really good Cuban cigar.
My blog.
Books.
I could go on for a real long time, WC.
But this is your house…;)

Knock yourself out, Mikey. My house is your house. Great list.

LOL! Wonderfully funny. The “diet coke no matter how many rats it affects adversely”, “handsomest guy going after the smart chick” and “chocolate served by…” were my favorites. I laughed to the point of tears.
Some of my favorite things would be:
Watching spell checker turn my carefully thought out sentence into unrecognizable blather.
Having the shredder decide to start working on its own in the middle of the night.
Finding I’ve arrived at work an hour before anyone else when the time changes.
Telling the checkout girl I was just in a charitable mood when she points out I’m leaving without my package.
Watching the outtakes as the credits scroll by on a movie.
Seeing my mom drive down the street with a carton of coke on the roof of the car.
Watching my dad burp and hearing him say, “Excuse me, but I feel much better for it.”
Figuring out how we’d get rich from Y2K with ideas –like “Y2K Gourmet” survival kit foods.
A baby’s laugh. My dog’s smile. A witty comeback. A smart solution.
Watching your kid make a touchdown.
The ball slipping through an opposing wide receiver’s fingers.
Cheering your team on to victory.
A kid with a chocolate milk moustache.
Getting drunk on your second Margarita.
Finding there is a man who appreciates your big fat ass.
~PG
PG,
Love the phantom shredder, your mom driving with coke on her roof and the appreciation of the big, fat ass (God, I’m never gonna live that post down). LOL.
WC
mmmm great list!
Feel good stories on the news.
Here’s mine:
Zoe’s sleepy smile when I check on her in the middle of the night and tell her I love her..and she hears me.
A good cup of coffee, preferably from Mexico..oh so nutty!
Home made bikkies.
Watching a child discover something new about the world.
A good fantasy fiction/crime book, preferably read with a hot coffee, slippers and a blanket while curled up on a cosy couch
The beach at night.
Horseriding in the rain.
Did I mention coffee?
Writing something that (to me) seems so good that when I go back and read it later i’m totally flabbergasted that it came from me
Being a mum.
Old English toffee, with REAL toffee bits.
Oh, and coffee
Cheers, Kelly
Kel,
Call me crazy but I’m getting a strong sense that you like coffee. Me too! Yummy! And btw, what the heck are bikkies? Is that Aussie for biscuits? I figure it’s either that or you’ve found a way to make bicycles delicious.
WC
Hey whens your big night out? I mean its not often a girl gets to pretend to be 16 again! Even if it is only for one night…kinda like Cinderella! LOL
Tonight was the night! I’m blogging it tomorrow - give everybody a heads up. I think you’ll be surprised. hehe
WC
Babies that spit up after you hand them back to their parents.
Cleavage.
Oooppsss that last one made me sound sexist. Let me rephrase. World peace.
BTW great job at BvB. Thanks a bunch.
You gotta love a guy who loves cleav…ah…er…world peace.
BvB was a hoot.
WC
Oooh! Great list! I’m with you on the pants and the shoes.
my daughter’s nose
my son’s hugs
rainy days
surprises (good ones)
dark chocolate
cookies and milk
Cheez-Its
when I cook a meal that my kids will eat
snuggling with my husband in bed
a random touch when we’re watching TV
cold nights and warm blankets
running
when I catch my kids being sweet to each other
oh, and World Peace
Great list Lass! How’s the home decorating going? Nice to see Fuzz is not alone in his pursuit of World Peace.
WC
LMAO!! Gotta love a language barrier when we are apparently speaking the same language….your first guess is correct, bikkies are biscuits and/or cookies!
Cheers, Kelly
I had a feeling it was biscuits, though making bicycles delicious would be a bloggable event.

I just noticed this.
Is the pooch steaming one on the front lawn?
~m
LOL, I just realized what you meant. No, she isn’t. In fact, that is my poochie, Maggie. It’s just that she has such short legs, she gets lost in the lawn. Cute, though, ain’t she? hehe
