These are a few of my favorite things (in no particular order)

1. Designer Jeans - Yes, I know they cost too much, but what you don't know is they are magic. You slip a pair of those bad boys on and suddenly you've got yourself the ass of a rockstar. Totally worth the $$$.
2. Useless Celebrity Gossip - Yes, I know. Who cares, right? ME! I can't help it. I'm just drawn to these magazines, even though I fully believe that 93% of what I read is artificial nonsense created for the sole purpose of duping me out of my hard earned $3.99. Slap a picture of Jennifer Garner, Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie on the front and that's a guaranteed purchase by me.
3. Gin Rummy - I've played this game since I was a wee lass, and I'll never turn down a game. Unless it's with Jason. Because he cheats. I don't know his exact method, and I don't actually have concrete evidence, but no one wins that often.
4. Super Mario Bros - I got hooked when I was 11 and babysitting the neighbors kids. And by babysitting, I mean sitting on my keister trying to save the Princess Peach. I actually got paid to play Mario. That was a sweet job! We recently got a Wii. I own Paper Mario, Mario Kart and my latest Super Mario Galaxy. I love them all.
5. Pantene - It's what I feed my hair. I don't care about all the urban legends that it coats your hair with wax or that it's 98% plastic or that it will make your hair fall out. It's not true and I challenge you to prove me wrong.
6. Bubble Baths - Now that I have a giant soaking tub, I really should be taking bubble baths more often. I believe a good bubble bath requires LOTS of bubbles, candles, a glass of wine and a good book. And at least an hour of uninterrupted kid-free time. I've got the first 4 requirements, but can never seem to find the 5th.
7. Harry Potter - the books. The movies.......? eh.....they're okay, I guess. The books are awesome. And yes, I'm a Christian. And I do not believe if you read Harry Potter books you are going to Hell. Regardless of what my Pastor Dad tries to tell me.
8. Felicity - Go. Rent. This. Series. On. DVD. I really miss it. I need to watch it all over again.
9. Old Navy Flip Flops - the most wonderful disposable summer shoes. 2 for $5? C'mon, you can't beat that. And it totally makes up for what you spend on designer jeans! I get many colors, but mostly end up wearing white. I'm sad that summer is ending, and now I'm going to have to start wearing socks. BOOOOOOO!
10. Blueberries - yummmmm........they just taste good. Real good.
11. The Judds - I have been a fan for as long as I remember. I was so sad when they "retired" in 1991 because I never got a chance to see them in concert. But then they made my dreams come true when they reunited for a tour in 1999. I forced Jason to go with me and sang and clapped my heart out. Jumped up and down. Screamed. Got goosebumps. Shed a few tears of joy. Grabbed Jason's arm at the start of every song, shouting "Oh my God, I LOVE this one!!!!" Jason, on the other hand, gave me a condescending nod/smile, half-heartedly clapped off beat, whistled the tune to Inspector Gadget and people watched. Whatever. His taste in music sucks!
12. Babysitters Club - I know, I know. I'm too old to like this. And while may be true, I'm what you would call an old-school loyal fan. I still have my entire collection (Books #1 - 42). When I was 12, I used to call Walden's book store multiple times every month to see if the new book had been released. "Hi, I was wondering if you have #32 of the Babysitters Club books?.....No, not yet?......Oh, okay.......What that you say?......No, I didn't just call 5 minutes ago!......You totally have me confused with some other obsessed fan...........Yes, you DO!!"
13. Newborn Photography - it's my favorite. I can't even stand how much I love it. And yes, it takes a long time, they poop and pee all over my stuff (it's all washable!!!) and the studio is so hot I look like a sweaty pig by the end of the session (just ask Nona) but it is so amazing working with these sweet little new babies. I love all of them. (Especially Nona's sweet little guy - oh my goodness, he is so stinking cute!!!)
14. Starbucks - Venti Iced Vanilla Latte. At least once a day. But most likely twice. I'm gonna go broke, but they are sooooooo good. Mmmmm......I can taste it now.
15. Bare Minerals - I started using this about a year ago, and I'll never go back to regular liquid foundation. I love the way it looks, it's super light and really good for your skin. And since my skin still think I'm a PMS-ing 15 year old teenager, it needs all the goodness it can get.
16. Sun Ripened Raspberry - it's one of my favorite smells of all time. It smells so good, I wanna eat it. But I won't. Because that would be gross.
