blog hop!This week's letter is "M" so I'm going with a few of MY favorite things:)
2. FOOTBALL! Yep. I love it. University of Michigan and Detroit Lions. They're my teams.
3. BROWNIES! Warm, chocolatey, and slightly undercooked. The only thing that compares is a warm chocolate chip cookie and cold glass of milk.
4. COFFEE! Specifically...Salted Caramel Mocha from Starbucks. Best drink ever!
5. SWEATERS! The bigger, chunkier, cozier it is, the better. Hubby says I have a problem with cardigans. I prefer to call it a love affair.
6. READING! I know, I know...I have no books on my shelf today, but it's because I like reading so much that I had to take a break. I can lose myself in a book quite easily, to the point where nothing gets done. As in "kids, let's have an all-day read-a-thon" for the third day in a row...not so good to do when you're homeschooling!
7. WRITING! Yeah. See above. Pretty much the same thing will happen, so I have to stay away from my laptop during school hours, but on the weekends, watch out--my imaginary friends get to come and play! (side note: when my imaginary friends are no-shows, this can quickly turn into one of my least favorite things. No lie.)
8. LONG WALKS! And now I'm sounding like an advertisement for Christian Mingle, but I really do like them. Especially with my headphones and Pandora. I may or may not have been seen around my neighborhood getting my groove on. Just sayin'.
9. MY FAMILY! Yes. They drive me crazy, but I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual. Still, there's nothing like them. I've got the best kiddos and hubby ever and I simply adore them.
10. FRIDAYS! Because the weekends usher in lots of time with all my favorite things! Well...at least this time of year it does. Fall and football will fade away, Starbucks will put away their specialty salt (which I will protest to no avail) and I'll have to fold up my cardigans...but right now I'm loving it all!Happy Friday, friends!
What are some of your favorite things?
And check out a few other bloggers that are hopping around this weekend:)
I'm with you on the coffee, Pandora, autumn, and brownies. Somehow you forgot to list hockey? And yeah, it's terrible when your imaginary friends don't want to come out and play. Thanks for posting, Susan!
ReplyDeleteHockey? Ummm...yeah...must have slipped my list somehow;)
ReplyDeleteFun! Some of my favorite things are echoes of yours: coffee, fridays, reading, writing...and I'm trying really hard this fall to become a football fan (for a writing project). :) Also, classic movies!! And cute boots! And flannel on chilly days!
ReplyDeleteOH! Cute boots definitely! And I was just scoping out flannel last night:)
DeleteNice list, Susan. Even though I'm fumble fingered at texting and have sent only a handful of texts in my life, one of my favorite things is getting texts from my 15-year-old granddaughter. Last one she sent said, "I l-o-o-o-ove you, Grandma." I texted, "More" (for love you more) and her reply, "Un-un." My reply was "Uh-hi!" Which, of course I meant to be "Uh-hu!", but typed it wrong. Long story short, my relationship with my granddaughter is one of my most favorite things.
ReplyDelete:) Grandparents are the best. Texting, not so much - lol...I mess those up all the time!
DeleteWe're kindred spirits, Susan, except for the salted caramel mocha from Starbucks. I haven't tried that yet, but OH, how I've been enjoying my pumpkin spice lately. I'm so with you on everything else, especially FRIDAYS and FAMILY, but I might not be saying that on Monday, though. We're keeping our grandkids for a week. Last night, I spotted our Little Monkey climbing the stairs...on the outside, and he was halfway up. :D Sheesh! What a fright!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...that brownie's sounding awfully good right now.
I'm getting ready to make them right now with HUGE chunks of chocolate:) And I have a little monkey too--my youngest. Oh, have fun this weekend and sleep all day Monday! HA!
DeleteOops, forgot, that's a wonderful snapshot of your family. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks! They're awfully cute, aren't they?
DeleteI love cardigan sweaters too. The one you have pictured looks so comfy! I also love long walks, preferably on a nice wooded trail or by the river. I love being in nature on my walks. : )
ReplyDeleteYour family is beautiful Susan. What blessings!
Have an earworm now..."Raindrops on Roses..." I love yellow flowers, warm sunny days, the beach and so many other things. Ah, the simple pleasures in life! Good choice for a blog post.
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya on all of it - besides coffee and football. :) fun post!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! It was fun getting to know you even better, Susan! :)
ReplyDeleteWe share a lot of the same favorite things (except football . . . never got into it).
Some of my favorite things . . . coffee, music, baskets, candles, baking, playing board games and cards, etc. And I kind of have this thing for Candy Crush and Words with Friends. ;-)
Regarding music . . . I LOVE a wide range of music! From Contemporary Christian, to Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Sam Cooke, John Denver, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, the Carpenters, Van Morrison, Waylon Jennings, and the list goes on . . . :D
Love your list! My favorite things: Quiet time alone; the Bible, learning new things, lilacs, lily of the valley, Thanksgiving, fall, my family (of course) and my puppy dogs. Just to name a few!
