You've probably all heard the song that starts out "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens", it's called My Favorite Things and was made very famous in the film The Sound of Music when Maria sang it. Well my question is...what are a few of Your favorite things?
A few of my favorite things are, my Hubby, my cat and dog, any animal for that matter, the sound of laughter, red hearts, bright colored flowers that show so much life, feeding the ducks in the stream outside my front door, birds chirping on a bright sunny morning, cocoa body butter, steak and lobster dinners, cooking and gardening...and how about you?;)

Hi greenie,
I love that song. A few of my favorite things are, I guess I should say hubby first just in case he reads this over my shoulder. Of course then comes my precious Dexter, he is such a joy in my life. I love roses and gardenias. I love to watch TV and movies, what can I say, I'm a TV addict. I love all my brothers and sisters, all 8 of them. I really love my 28 year old Son who lives in California. Steak and Lobster are two of my favorite things. I used to love cooking and gardening but can't do justice to my cooking skills anymore and gardening is my husbands job now. Last but not least, I love my friends, especially the ones I have found on Mylot. hugsssss

Hi Leenie! Great to see you! I agree, yes you really should put Hubby first, we never know when they sneak up behind us and read over our shoulders do we? :D
You have a lot of my favorite things too, I forgot to mention TV and movies on mine, I am a real TV addict myself...I'd be lost without it! I am surprised that you didn't list your Vista computer as one of your favorite things!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh! Sorry if I made you scream and run out of the room tearing your hair out!!
Again it's great to see you and thanks of course for responding! ;)

Hi Gel, Well other than the hubby and the cooking (sock stews) all of the above things you mention and for me cats are plural and I love to walk along the beech, collect pine cones in the woods, blow bubbles and play on the swings in the park, a smile from a child, a hug from a friend, reading a good book, all of these are my favourite things. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi Ellie! Oh I think those are wonderful things too! You know what I think? I think that you, Leenie and I should take it upon ourselves to Re-Write the song don't you?? I mean it is getting a bit old now and with all of our great things we like I think we could really give it a face lift! And I think we should use the sock stew as part of the chorus!! ;D
Great to see you and of course thanks for your response! ;)

Hi Sweet ellie,
You mentioned 2 things that I love and that is reading a good book preferablyon a porch facing the beach. I don't know whar sock stew is but it must be great if you and greenie love it. As far as rewriting the song, sure I'm game. It's been way too long since I've been able to go to the beach and spend a few days, but I will get there again. Ellie, I know your real name but I want to know yours too greenie. xoxoxo

That sounds really nice, I enjoy being alone in solitude and relaxing also. I don't use a cell phone very often though or a laptop but it is nice that you enjoy them!
Thanks for responding! ;)

My house when its clean. My Piggy (pictured left)in my lap, he takes up all of my lap and part of the couoch but he loves his mamma. His sister Elsie the cow dog, who loves her daddy just as much. My husband is my favorite husband ever (also my only but he likes it when I tell him that.)
This reminded me of another song:Sunshine on my clothes line makes me happy. That is my favorite rewrite of a song.

My favourite things, let's see.....
Horses, sheep, cats, well, most animals, really.
Chocolate is an absolute necessity, I keep it regularly stocked.
The outdoors, horseback riding, racing around barrels with the wind in my hair, shooting raccoons, fishing, helping to birth baby lambs, looking at what I have worked so hard to accomplish, like my perennial garden and my flock of sheep happily chewing their cud with a smile on their face. I love watching the lambs play. That truly gives me my "joie da vivre".
I tolerate my hubby and he knows it. lol.

First of all, I would like to state that I have not seen The Sound Of Music. However, there is a song called Favorite Things by Incubus that I really like heh :)
Anyways, those are some good things you like. My favourite things are: The sound of music (the actual sound not the movie lol), playing drums/bass guitar/and singing, computers, the internet, video games, TV, movies, hanging out with good friends and family members, travelling of course, vacationing, long car rides (usually preffered to go alone), road trips, swimming, sitting by the pool in the warm weather, the summer time in Ontario, stuff like that. I think we all have soo many favourite things that it is hard to mention them all :)

Hi grunge_avenged! I think you are right, we all have so many favorite things we couldn't possibly mention them all! I think you have a great list there and it also tells me something about you and that is you are a very well rounded, versatile person and I think it's great that you have so much that you enjoy!
Thanks for your response! ;)
