These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

-


Things have been a little bit CrAzY lately......  When I am feeling stressed, I like to pause and remember the things that put a smile on my face.  Have you ever seen The Sound of Music?  If not, you definitely should!  The movie version was released almost 53 years ago, and it is wonderful!  There is a scene during a bad thunderstorm in which the children in the movie are frightened, and their nanny helps them through their fears by remembering their favorite things.  Here are a few of mine:

Favorite People ~ My two daughters!  They are funny, sweet, and always know how to cheer me up!

Favorite Food ~ Anything Mexican!  Specifically Tex-Mex-----YUM!

Favorite Hobby ~ Reading!  I can get lost in a good book----especially a good mystery.  I also love to work puzzles.

Favorite Music ~ Christian.  I'm actually very eclectic in music tasted, but Big Daddy Weave is my "go-to" when I need encouragement!

Favorite Weekend Plans ~ Doing nothing ~ lol!  I love watching my daughters play in volleyball and basketball tournaments, but when we have a chance to be at home on the weekend, I am happy!

Favorite Movie ~ This is a tough one!  I am a movie person, so there are so many that I love!  As far as animated films, I love Disney movies, (I'm still a kid at heart!).  My favorite genre is definitely romantic comedy, so I would say anything along those lines.

Favorite TV Show:  I love ABC's TGIT line-up! 

Favorite Holiday:  Definitely Christmas!  I am not a fan of winter weather, so Christmas is a wonderful bright spot during my least favorite season.

Favorite Season:  SUMMER!!  Only because of the weather, though........  I like it hot & sunny!

Favorite Baseball team:  St. Louis Cardinals!  Enough said....

Favorite Sport to Watch:  Tennis.  I've always been a huge fan!

Favorite Musical:  Wicked.  I am a HUGE musical person---I used to teach music!

    I really enjoyed PLAYING tennis but hated to watch it. I'd bring a book or two to my meets.

A Dog's Life (Kale ~ The Best Dog EVER!) Isn't he the CUTEST dog you've ever seen?  His name is Kale ~ he is a rescue pup, and I could not love him more!  Our family rescued Kale about 5 years ago ~ Here is a little bit about his story, and how our family became lucky enough to call him ours: Our family had another adorable dog, named Jack - (Captain Jack Sparrow, to be exact=).   He was a "Jack Zhu."  Unfortunately, Jack could climb fences, and loved to run & be free.  He was an escape artist!  No matter what steps we took to keep adorable little Jack safely inside our fence, he would still find a way to escape.  Many people have helped us find Jack over the years, & the Humane Society knew him by name.  (He was a fun little mess!).  Anyway, one morning that Jack escaped, he was hit by a car.  We were devastated, particularly my youngest daughter, Kate.  I thought it would be quite awhile before our hearts could own another puppy.   Fast fo

Move Over, Winter........... Alright, people - I have had ENOUGH of winter!  Many people who know me, know that winter is not my favorite time of the year.  The "winter blues" are real!  Everything from the cold air, ice, and not being able to be outside a lot, winter is a time of year that seems to drag on for me.  Even fall upsets me, because I know that winter is just lurking around the corner! I'm a pretty positive person, so my attitude during the winter months needed a "pick-me-up!"  Because of the negativity I feel toward this season that is actually my oldest daughter's favorite time of the year, I decided to intentionally come up with things that I can appreciate about winter.  (Seeing the glass half-full, people, half-full) Christmas!  My favorite holiday!  Although I could still experience my love of Christmas on a tropical island, Christmas in southwest Missouri is Christmas with my family , whom I love dearly. Yummy food:  Winte
