My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens...

The Sound of Music is one of my favorite movies. I've loved it forever. There is a MEME travelling through the blogosphere concerning this song from the movie -- what are your favorite things? A few of mine, in random order, and not inclusive:

• An organized desk
• OK, anything organized - it just gives me a feeling that the job is complete
• Our dog, curled up and asleep
• Diet Pepsi
• A good book
• Time in which to read a good book
• Checking items off of a list as they are finished
• The beach
• An audio book, a beach chair, the ocean and a breeze
• Time spent with friends in laughter
• G, when he laughs
• Holding hands with my husband
• The day after Christmas (isn't that awful?)
• Driving with the windows down, the sunroof open, good music on the stereo, singing loudly
• Teaching
• Time spent at Panera with the laptop and no worries
• Going to see a movie
• Waking up in the middle of the night, certain that the alarm is going to ring in a few minutes, but seeing on the clock that there are hours and hours left to sleep.
• Chocolate
