Things You Might Not Know, or Maybe Already Do?
Because I have nothing of substance to write about and because I heard one of my favorite songs, "Favorite Things", you know the one from Sound of Music? It may not really be from Sound of Music but that is where I first heard it and I do love when Julie Andrews sings it with the Captain's children during the thunderstorm. You haven't seen it? Well you should. Great flick. At least I think so. Here goes, some stuff about me.
To begin with, I love coffee. I mean LOVE, love, yes that kind of love. Love like when I don't have a cup in the morning the Things become nervous!
I listen to the rain. Rain makes me happy. Weird, I know. And when it's raining I like to listen to music, Norah Jones, David Crowder, something different, maybe Miles Davis. Or jazz. Jazz on a rainy night is good.
Baking is my therapy. Butter, sugar and a recipe for a sweet treat just make me feel better on the inside.
Books, books and more books. All genres. Really. I like to have a variety. A few on my nightstand, one in a basket downstairs. One more on the ottoman. One on my iPod and one in the car. A cookbook here and there. You just never know.
Writing is good for my soul and yes a favorite thing. Does it qualify as a thing? I don't think so, maybe a past time, hobby?
Watching my Things smile. Seeing their faces light up. Or maybe just listening to them tell a story. Usually this happens around the dinner table, thus family dinners are another favorite. Truly. I love creating a meal, sitting down with the family and having a Thing say, "this is great Mama". Sometimes I score big like that. Other times not so much. Either way when we are together around the table, it's good.
I love being an Auntie. Who knew? It is so much fun. A different role, one I am still learning. My nieces and nephew are the best. All of them.
People watching, a favorite past time. At the airport, in a restaurant, a coffee shop, the school pick up line, the market, wherever. I like to watch people interact. Learn their story. It fascinates me.
I need quiet time. Alone. In fact I crave it. When I don't get it I am grumpy. Speaking of grumpy, if I don't eat regularly scheduled meals I am grumpy, downright mean actually. There I said it. Husband Jared even asks me when I am on the cranky side if I have eaten lately. Funny.
What else, oh, I love holidays. All of them. Especially white twinkly lights and brown paper packages tied up with string.
I love pajama pants. Festive ones. With a Christmas theme. I also love yoga pants and just learned recently that it may not be a good idea to wear them all day, even when you are running errands. On the upside if I wear my running pants that's different and apparently ok. Did anyone else know this?
Not sure what other random things I can share about myself. Nothing earth shattering that's for sure. Just a fun list of stuff. My brain is mush tonight and this is the best I can do. Look for further updates, or add your own to the comment section. It could be fun.
