Favorite Things

I'm stealing Suzanne's idea. Here are a few of MY favorite things...

1. Days when you have nothing you have to do

2. Nights when you look up at the clock again after reading and 2 hours (that felt like 10 min.) has passed

3. Taylor's curly hair

4. Hearing my students say, "Can we do that again?" after a lesson

5. Hearing my kitties purr when I pick them up

6. Going to the movie theater to watch a good movie

7. Diet Cherry Cokes from Sonic

8. Seeing mini-teachers - Adelyn helped me with the 2-4 yr olds at church last night, and she was such the little teacher! It warmed my heart!

9. My first time watching my nephews walk

10. Singing old hymns in church

11. Rolling down the windows and putting back the sunroof on beautiful days

12. good music

13. spending time with family

14. Watching Josh dance to just about any song and cough/wheeze when you say, "What does Mattie say?" (Mattie's their dog with respiratory problems...)

15. fried okra

16. going to friends' houses and playing games or just talking

17. hugging my mom and dad

18. seeing my sisters after weeks of not seeing them

19. the Charlie Browns song "Christmas Time is Here." I love how not-perfect their singing is!

20. buying a new outfit that I love

21. seeing Taylor's little punch and kick when he's bowling

21. watching Smallville till midnight with Tay

22. when little girls cry because they don't want to leave my arms (it happened last night!...it probably had nothing to do with me, but it still felt good.)

23. the feeling of accomplishment I have at the end of the school day when I leave the room totally ready for the next day

24. accidentally figuring out a gift that Taylor got me for Christmas every year (it's been 3 years in a row!)

25. the "Christmas" smell - you know what I'm talking about

I could go on and on, but I guess 25 is enough for now. Hope it made you think of things that make you happy!
