My Favorite Things

After watching two episodes of Oprah devoted to her favorite things... I thought I would share a few of my favorite things...but I don't think any of mine are going to make anyone's head explode. As a cute sidebar- the more excited the crowd got on Oprah, the more excited Rachel got. It was actually really cute. You'd think someone had given her the keys to a 2012 VW Bug- a very cute car by the way. I'll get one as a celebration when all my kids are done with college. Yes, I will be the nearing 60 something toodling around town in a VW bug.
Anywhoo...back to my list of favorite things- in no particular order.
1. Sitting at the table with family gathered around telling stories, playing games, and enjoying each other's company.
2. A good book, a sleeping baby, and a few hours to sit on the couch guilt-free to read.
3. A pedicure before a beach vacation. Not sure why, but walking on the beach is just so much better with pretty painted toes.
4. Laughing. Laughing so hard I have tears.
5. Watching Rachel learn new things. As proud of herself as she is when she does something for the first time, I'm even more proud of her!
6. Vacation days when Nick cooks breakfast and we have all morning to enjoy a cup of coffee and read the paper.

I'm going to stop at six. It's the Number Six day on Seaseme Street. Yes, I let my 5 month old watch tv. It's how I get my blogging done!!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
