Another List?

I've seen some blogs recently that have lists. Lots of lists with numerous things. Things people like, things for which people are thankful, things of tasks that need to be done, things people hate, and many many more. I really enjoy reading these lists and getting to know everyone a little better. Sooooo, since I too am a fan of lists, I've decided to add my own. 


"A Few of My Favorite Things"

Movies I can watch over and over: Star Wars, Narnia, Return to Me, Robin Hood (yes, with Kevin Costner), and National Treasure (plus quite a few others that I'm sure I'm forgetting—Oh! Like Sleepless in Seattle)    

TV shows: LOST (hooray! New season starts 1 week from today!), Survivor, Amazing Race, The Bachelor, The Office, Grey's Anatomy, and How I Met Your Mother (Do I really watch that much TV? I swear that not all of these shows are on during the same time of year!)

Favorite TV shows Todd and I can quote in relation to just about anything that happens in our lives: Seinfeld and Friends 

Favorite unhealthy snacks: Nacho Doritos, Easy Cheese (on Reduced-Fat Wheat Thins though!), cheese of any kind (does anyone sense a theme here?), and Diane's buttery popcorn

Restaurants: Cheesecake Factory, Macaroni Grill, Paradise Bakery, Rumbi, Cafe Rio, The Mandarin, and Tsunami (yummy!)

Desserts: Key lime pie or cheesecake, gooey brownies, ice cream with big chunks of candy (like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups), oatmeal cake, and fruit pizza

Favorite Music: Anything by Ingrid Michaelson, or whatever happens to be on my blog playlist, Rascal Flatts, and quite a few others (Todd would beg to differ though)

Books: The Work and the Glory, Children of the Promise, Anita Stansfield, Pride and Prejudice, Les Miserables, The Count of Monte Cristo, Harry Potter, Twilight (please finish Midnight Sun Stephanie—it's my favorite!) and many others!

Favorite Vacations: Hawaii, Mexico, Disneyland, and Disney World!

Ice Cream: Mint Chocolate Chip, Raspberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Heath.

Favorite Meals: Pizza, pizza, and more pizza! (I don't know why I like pizza so much!) I'm also a huge fan of yummy salads and I like a good Maddox Turkey Steak with Heinz 57 on it with mashed potatoes and corn. Mmmmms!

Favorite thing to do with spare time: Snuggle with Todd, stalk people on blogs or my new found friend—Facebook, play games with friends, read, clean (when the mood strikes me), create new recipes to try out, shopping, and just being me

Things I love to collect: shoes, recipes, clothes, things for babies, scrapbooking stuff, cute decorations for our house, cute socks, cute notebooks, books to read, and probably more 

Last but not least, things I love MOST: My "boopy" (a.k.a. Todd—don't even ask), my family, my friends, and all the love and support I feel from everyone that surrounds me!

OK, if you made it this far and are still reading this somewhat lengthy post, I'm finally done!

Lists are great! I too am obsessed with them, but I've found that since the holidays are over, I don't want to make a single one. I'm in rebellion!

Fun post! I learned a lot. Mike could eat pizza everyday if I let him. I can't believe you are doing Facebook. The blog is enough for me. Brandy always tells me how addicting it is. You will have to ask to be her friend.

Okay, I thought I knew you pretty well, but I had no idea you liked oatmeal cake (what is this? sounds yummy!) and I have never heard you refer to Todd as "Boopy!" :)
