Subject: These are a few of My Favorite Things...

Written By: Badfinger-fan on 08/10/07 at 8:21 pm

I've taken this idea from the song "My Favorite Things", sung by Julie Andrews character Maria from the musical "The Sound of Music" , so please use this thread to reflect on & post those things that you love, things you like, things that make you feel good, things that make you feel better and things that make you happy.  8)       

here are a few of my favorite things:
lots of extra cheese on my crunchy taco from Taco Bell
that first cup of hot coffee in the morning
quoting movie lines from Animal House with friends   ;D
hearing a classic rock song come on the radio station my daughter is listening to when she's riding in the car with me and she doesn't change the station
  8)


for anyone that has never heard the song, here are the lyrics, but you don't have to put your favorite things down all at once or in rhyme, just whenever & whatever you feel like


Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

are you a good juggler?

are you a good juggler?


Basically I can only juggle round objects like Oranges, Apples ... but nothing fancy like juggling them through my leg or taking bites out of them while in mid air, but eventually I will learn how to do that, as well as juggle other shapes of objects.  Nothing sharp though; Juggling knives or chainsaws will never be for me LOL

As a kid, watching 'Bosom Buddies' and 'Newhart', Peter Scolari inspired me to want to learn how to juggle, so I did
