Favorite Things

A young Julie Andrews once instructed me that, should I ever encounter the more bitter vicissitudes of life, I should... think of my favorite things.  Upon trying her words, I realized just how many favorite things I really have.  Here's some:

Raindrops on roses

Seriously.  I love roses.  And rain.  And roses and rain together!

and mittens on kittens.

And he shall have some pie.

Stuff about science.

...or history, or literature, or art, or music, or... basically anything that could be on Jeopardy.

When books are well written.

I love books so much that I even blogged about it!

Speaking in Spanish.

el idioma de los cielos


Life under the sea. 

Except when my dive buddy abandons me.  Thanks, Dad.
These are a few of my favorite things.

My Big Apple City.

Forget San Francisco.  I left my heart here.

The Doctor on Hulu.

Well.....  Allonsy!

Cuddling with babies.

All day.  I could do that all day.

The wisdom of gurus.

What he said.

Playing a Steinway

Seriously.  I, physically, cannot pass up the chance to play a Steinway.

and when huskies sing.

Not that I recommend getting a husky.  Talk about high maintenance!
These are a few of my favorite things.

The Captain

...gu.... tongue tied.

and pirates

As an elf is also acceptable.

and Korean dramas.

They will take over your life if you let them.  Fighting!

My nieces and nephews

Sorry, guys.  They're just too cute to be showing off on public sites.

and talking to llamas.

Yeah.  I know.  It's an ibex.  I'm pretty sure that's almost the same thing as a llama.

Bollywood dancing

Hadippa!

and homemade ice cream.

Assuming it digests well, of course.
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the bills bite
or my side stings
or I'm feeling marginally frustrated,
I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel....  much different than I did before, but I had a great time looking at pictures of Chris Evans.  A+ for attractive.
