31 Day Blog Challenge: Day 5

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.


I really can't tell you how hard this challenge was for me. When I started, I thought I had to rank things in order of importance in my life. That proved to be rather difficult for someone who couldn't decide between Panera's broccoli cheddar soup and Fitzgerald's short stories. So, I wrote down my favorite things and put them in a bowl. I pulled out fifteen pieces of paper and created the list you're about to read. Enjoy!


  1. Mascara: My single favorite makeup tool. If I don't get a chance to put on any other form, I at least coat my lashes in that glorious black goo.
  2. Family: Can't live with them, definitely can't live without them.
  3. Hats: I have a very stylish hat collection (assuming three hats is enough to warrant a collection): tan corduroy, purple newsboy, and knit grey are the highlight of any of my cold weather ensembles.
  4. Netflix: Once upon a time, I used to have a life...
  5. Church: I love my church. I'm still in the wading pool, if you will, but I look forward to every service.
  6. Friends: I can honestly say the friends I have are true Proverbs 17 friends. And that is so much more than I deserve.
  7. Psych: Seriously? You know that's right.
  8. Laughter: A whole hearted belly laugh... *sigh* It's my favorite sounds.
  9. Fluffy pillows: Thank you, Jenna Rink.
  10. The ability to communicate solely through movie/tv quotes, song lyrics, and facial expressions: You know what I'm talking about.
  11. Sunglasses: An air of mystery or a seriously vital part in protecting your eyes from UV rays.
  12. Scrapbook: My mother made me a scrapbook chronicling my first 18 years of life. I love looking through that.
  13. Matchbox Twenty: Stereotypical white girl or fan of overlooked profound lyrics and piano playing?
  14. Acoustic and acapella covers: Spending way too much time online researching raw renditions of my favorite songs? Guilty.
  15. Caffeine: How do you take your coffee? Seriously. Very seriously.
