This year, i thought "Oprah's My Favorite Things" show was LAME-O. She did "How to Have a Thriftiest Holiday Ever" show. Now, I know, we all should be careful where our money goes, but still, we want to see the people who walk out of there with literally thousands of dollars of electronics, clothing and luxury items. It's just fun to watch. So, I've decided to make my own "My Favorite Things" of the things I have I love most.
Mittens on a string
While these may seem "childish" I wear them everywhere. When Melissa gave them to me for Christmas years ago, I didn't realize how cool they were. Now, I know. And, I've had them for years, because it is impossible to lose them! Thanks Melissa. You've had that motherly insight in you all your life :)
iPod Nano
Uh...mmm....I bought an iPod today, the new purple iPod Nano. I revolve around music. Now I know you're thinking, why the heck did you buy an iPod Nano? I wanted one to use with the Nike arm band system. It was only $150, and I had a very generous pay check this week thanks to my holiday bonus, so I figured, why not. The Nike system will also help get me in tip top shape! I'm finally to the point where I can run if I want. I have to push myself really hard, but I can now say "I'm going on a run. Be back in 30." And that's been one of my goals for a long time.
Cameras
What a wonderful invention these babies are. No, I didn't buy a new camera too like some of you may suspect :). Think how dull our memories would be if it wasn't for cameras. Pictures trigger the memories we may have never remembered without. Love 'em.
Purple Tulips
Last week when I was at the grocery store buying flowers for Thanksgiving, I saw a bouquet of purple tulips I really wanted, but I knew that they would not be the best flowers for Thanksgiving. So, I didn't buy them. But, ever since I've been thinking about their pure, simple beauty. Some day I'll travel to a giant tulip field and run through it.
Unfortunately, you reading this will not get you all these items and then some like you would get if this were Oprah. Sorry.
But what are your favorite things? give it a thought and respond in a comment below. Can't wait to hear!

My favorite thing is that you guys are coming to Boston in less than a week! We are going to have so much fun! I didn't realize the economy was so bad that even Oprah was having to tighten her belt. Don't let mom forget the negatives!!! Remind her a bunch! Thanks and I am glad you like the mittens I too am a big fan of mittens on a string thanks to my time in Estonia!
Well, I love a nice comfy pair of Sperry's. And I also love my little car, high-speed internet, big beds that are long enough for me, graph paper, and warm water. Nothing like running your cold digits under a stream of nice warm agua. Those are my favorite things.
