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.

Yesterday, the dog bit and the bee stung, and I felt sad. Today's been so much better. Because I had a few of my favorite things. Here goes:

- I slept until 9:30
- I didn't have to leave the house
- I finally finished a client's LLC tax return - no small feat
- My long lost friend, Jennifer, dropped by unexpectedly
- Sarita was here - she always makes me happy
- The D loved his dinner - pork tenderloin with my special sauce (I'll share it with you some time), my incredible mashed potatoes, green beans and a fruit and yogurt parfait. He pronounced it "Good" - that's like a five star Michelin rating.
- My fantasy fiance Skyped me last night, for the first time ever. Even played the guitar and sang for me. Gotta love that. I don't think I'll be so nervous when he finally materializes.

Oh. Favorite things. Here they are, in no particular order.

Green olives. Kalamata olives. Gardenias. Home grown tomatoes. Jeans that fit just right. Sandals. Pedicures. Bubble baths. Getting magazines in the mail. Getting unexpected checks in the mail (one from United Health today - no clue why). My fav stock going up 4.83% in one day. Sunshine. Dogwoods in bloom. Azaleas, too.

Hope your weekend is filled with your favorite things.
