Favorite Things: May 2005 Archives

Judy mentioned Carousel in her post this morning. I have to say I LOVE musicals! The King and I, Oklahoma, State Fair, Showboat, My Fair Lady, South Pacific, The Music Man ... oh the list I could make! One of my most favorites will always be The Sound of Music. I borrowed the tune from Maria's Favorite Things and wrote my own version. Some things you may not understand. If you ask me I will answer. This is my way of letting you get to know me. (I love that song too! Getting to know you, getting to know all about you ...) So without further adieu, live on the internet, I give you my rendition of My Favorite Things. Feel free to sing along. This tune sticks in your head! :-) Raindrops on roses and men who ride Harleys Bright minded fellas that don't smell of Charlie Blue velvet boxes filled with a ring These are a few of my favorite things Fairytale romances and men who share Best friends who know you really do care Cherry-cola haired Angels and Warriors with wings These are a few of my favorite things Chocolates from Belgium and Pink colored roses Men with a fetish for red painted toeses Rose colored sapphires and dinner served by a king These are a few of my favorite things Me in a black dress in a pink convertible car Unlimited expenses for the health and beauty spa Strawberries served with whipping creme These are a few of my favorite things Marabou slippers and hats with wide brims Buying a lottery ticket guaranteed to win Men not afraid to reach for their dreams These are a few of my favorite things Gazebos and bike rides and windmills in the dark Palace concerts, true abby beer, walks in Orange Park Loving me tender and tears that don't sting These are a few of my favorite things Whispers and giggles and tender strong hands Elvis and cadillacs and rock-n-roll bands The Snowy River and mountain tops and phones when they ring These are a few of my favorite things Long dark tresses and my lips painted red The scent of sunshine in linens on my bed Around my throat pearls on a string These are a few of my favorite things Men with a sensitive side and who use their brain Warm summer nights and walks in the rain Men who serenade you even tho they can't sing These are a few of my favorite things Men who could love a child like their own Spending hours and hours talking on the phone Midnight picnics in the warmth of spring These are a few of my favorite things Traveling cross country in passenger trains Sundays at home listening to warm summer rain Dress blue uniforms worn by Marines These are a few of my favorite things The scent of a baby and a warm body at night Men who want your dreams to take flight Sweet kisses and eyes with a devilish gleam These are a few of my favorite things Bubble baths, enchanted evenings, walks on the beach Time alone and the first taste of a warm summer peach Fireworks, kids when they laugh, and Spring These are a few of my favorite things When the cold bites, When I PMS, When I am a mess, I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so sad. P.S. Hoss - my favorite smell, the picture was of night blooming jasmine. It is just beautiful carried on a sultry night breeze.

Last night - "Do you know Gracie made me breakfast-in-bed this morning?" Colby asked. "No, I didn't. She must have made it after dad went out and before I woke up." I answered. "She made me a poptart." "On a napkin," Gracie piped up. "She made me a bowl of applejacks,too." "I got the bowl out of the dishwasher," Gracie chimed. "And she brought me a glass of milk." "Did you get the glass out of the dishwasher?" I asked. "No, just the bowl," Gracie answered, so VERY proud of herself. "The dishes in the dishwasher were not clean." I told Colby. "I found that out after I ate the cereal and saw the dirty bottom of the bowl." Colby laughed. It is the thought that counts! How many 18 year olds have a 7 year old sister who thinks they are special enough for breakfast-in-bed? For the record: I was supposed to turn on the dishwasher after everyone got a bath last night. I wanted to be sure everyone had enough hot water. I forgot to turn it on! It was all my fault that Colby ate out of a dirty bowl this morning. Oops! ******* We spent the day finishing up at the townhouse then we went over to Steven's parents. OH, his mom put on a feast! We had filet minon, roasted corn, shrimp and more shrimp, twice baked potaoes, deviled eggs, bread, food, food and more food. Then she served 3 (THREE!) desserts. We are full as ticks on a dogs back, I tell ya! Those who live up here - Can you believe there was NO traffic on the Fairfax Parkway nor I-95? NONE! We made it home in record time. 1 hour 17 minutes! And we did not speed! ****** J&J'sMom and Kate encouraged participation in this image game.
