A few of my favorite things

Can I just say that the new blogger layout is NOT one of my favorite things?! I find it extremely annoying. I don't like that I can't find anything anymore. Truly it makes me a little bit crazy. Anyway, enough about that. For awhile now I have been thinking that I need to sit down and write about a few of my favorite things. I've been putting it off because I didn't know how I would find pictures to go along with some my favorite things. Take for example hiccups. I.Love.them! I only get them about once a year and if I say anything to acknowledge said hiccups, they will immediately go away. So I cannot even celebrate out loud that I have them. What about a picture of sneezing? I don't have one of myself sneezing, thank goodness! But even more thankfully, I don't have a picture of anyone else sneezing either. I love the build up before the sneeze comes. I love the build of anticipation and then I love when it happens! Oh my it just makes me so happy! What about fresh cut grass?! Well actually it's not the fresh cut grass that I love. I actually find that rather annoying because if you step in in, it turns your shoe green. It's the smell that I love! I actually think it's a combination of the fumes from the lawn mower and the cut grass that just makes me gitty. I can't forget the smell of wet dirt! I'm not talking about mud. I am talking about dirt when it gets wet. Like when you wash a potato when it still has the skin on it and you get to smell the wet dirt. It may be one of the best smells on the planet! I'm pretty sure that if there was an air freshener that was the wet dirt smell, I would buy it. I just love the sound of a onesie in the dryer. I love when the little metal snaps hit the side. I also love the sound of a dishwasher washing dishes. Truly those sounds just fill me with such glee! Now you may be thinking that I am really weird and that you are considering denying that you ever knew me. I don't blame you at all! I am a little odd and I blame it on the fact that when I was a wee little lass I fell out of the shopping cart not once, not twice, but three times at the same store in the same shopping trip. I didn't just fall out either, I fell out onto my head! So, that's where the strangeness comes from. Moving on! There is one thing that is my absolute favorite thing that I'm pretty sure I couldn't live without. I do happen to have a picture, so here you go!


He is for sure my favorite "thing" in the whole entire world! I know that it's so so cheesy to say, but it is 100% the truth! Today marks the day of being together for 13 years! He is my best friend and my better half. I cannot imagine life without him. You can ask our sweet little kiddos. Try as I may, I just am not as happy when he isn't around. He is that calm one and can get me to chill out when I have asked close to 700 times for the three toys to be picked up off the floor & put away but they are still laying there and our sweet sweet children are saying,"I didn't hear you!" (Sure they didn't!) He is a rock star and always remembers to make time for me even though he is so busy. He makes me laugh and trys to understand why it is that I am crying for absolutely no reason at all. I love him and am so thankful that he's mine for ever, for always and no matter what!

  1. "Everything you just said, is my favorite thing to do too! Everyday" (please read with Spanish accent) Okay not everything but I too love sneezing and the smell of fresh cut grass. I also love the thought of having a onesie in my dryer belonging to my child...and my hubby is my favorite thing in the whole world too!
    Congrats on 13 years!

  2. I LOVE you!!! Truly, you are the warm ray of sunshine I need when I just get out of the swimming pool and I'm cold. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I love love LOVE reading what you write because I feel like you are saying it to me, exactly how you would if we were face to face! I LOVE that about you! It makes me so happy that you love the smell of wet dirt and that you love the build up before the sneeze and the actual sneeze and the smell of fresh cut grass mixed with lawn mower exhaust and the sound of the dishwasher washing dishes! I love those things too, only you are cooler because you thought to put them into words!!! Thank you for being such a wonderful person and my favorite best in the whole wide world!!! I'm so happy your relationship with your man is a teenager now! Congratulations!!!
