My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

While all those are pretty nice, there are a few, substantial things that song is missing..

MY FAVORITE THINGS:

Sweat Pants: All the comfort of pj pants without the laziness.

Socks: They keep my toesies warm!

The Skinny Jean Dance: There's no other way to put on a good pair.

Bottomless Bags: Don't you just love those bags that EVERYTHING fits in? You go to the movie theater, sit down, and out pops a soda, popcorn, chips, and a candy bar--for you and four friends!!

Gym Bags: I'm an athlete. It's a necessity.

Chocolate Milk: Perfect for after practice!

Water: Refreshing!

Goldfish Crackers: The OFFICIAL Track Snack.

Sports Bras: Extra support without the obnoxious straps!

Bathrobes: It's a blanket..with SLEEVES!

Dogs: Nothing like coming home to a happy, slobbery face!

The Smell of Rain: We all love it.

The Smell of a Wet Track: Just as good as rain, but with the homey, sweaty smell of the track that I love.

When it's snowy and overcast at night and everything has that bright look about it, like the sun never set.

Dancing in the Rain: Makes getting wet a whole lot funnier.

Sitting by a warm fire when it's raining.

Those moments when silence says everything you can't.

When boys have pretty eyes: It makes them all the more attractive.

When boys have hot smiles: See above.

Seeing someone genuinely smile: I love making people happy.

Blankets and Fluffy Pillows: There's nothing better when you're sad or cold.

Bubble Baths: Makes a bad day so much better.

Hot Showers: The best part of waking up!

Fish: Random, but I LOVE watching them swim.

Stretching: It feels so good at any time of day, but especially when you are tired.

Massages: Best feeling ever. End of story.

Hair Ties: Every girl's best friend!

Cell Phone: You knew it was coming. It's how I stay current!

iPod: No one that's human can live without one.

Spikes: Runners know how important (and awesome looking) these shoes are.

Four Wheel Drive: So helpful in the snow!

Mud: I'm sorry, but it's just plain fun. Yes, it's a pain sometimes, but when you want to get dirty, it's fun.

Computers: They make life so much easier.

Mechanical Pencils: To get the same effect, you'd have to sharpen a normal pencil every 30 seconds!

Toast: I love toast. Love. So many options--cinnamon, honey, butter, jam, jelly, avocado...

Music: It makes my life move!
Boxers: They're SO comfy! And as a bonus, they come with awesome patterns and stuff on them! Why can't girl underwear be that cool?

Tampons: No one likes pads! Yuck!

Spandex: My new love. You can walk around in your underwear and no one thinks twice about it! It's shorts AND underwear at the same time! And they don't give you a wedgie, but I wouldn't suggest wearing them with skinny jeans.

And last of all, Hugs: They are my favorite. Nothing better than a big hug from a good friend (or an awkward hug from someone random) to make your day!!

These are a few of my favorite things!!
