My Favorite Things...

Well, you can always tell when I'm working, cuz I quit blogging. If you look in the archives, I'm pretty sure the month of August was the weak spot for blogging, and the reason for that was that I had a job. Well, I've been working in Rupert (near Burley) one day a week, soon to be four days a week as soon as the girl has her baby, and I just can't bring myself to blog. So here I am...ON MY LUNCH BREAK!! That's right, blogging at work. But not on the clock, don't worry. :)

Well I've been thinking about this, and I decided I wanted to make a post about some of my favorite things in the world. Now, I don't really consider myself a materialistic kind of a person, however, these things are some of my most favorite in the whole wide world.

Before I start, I have to also add that last night I finally finished "Jayne Eyre." I started this book months ago, and it was so slow starting that I put it down for weeks at a time. Then I got to the middle, and it was suddenly good. And for the past 3 days I have been glued to that book. It is now one of my favorites. I completely understand why it's a classic. What a wonderful story it is. I recommend this book to anybody, it was awesome!

Okay, here's a few of my favorite things in the world....

1. My crystal nail file. My mom's friend, Teresa, got this for my sisters and me for Christmas and it's one of my most prized posessions. This thing never dulls. It does, however, BREAK! That's right.....crystal = GLASS! That's why it comes in a case. Parker was so fascinated with it the other day when I was showing it to him, and I told him it was crystal and he started bending it, and he broke the handle. AUGH! I was kinda mad, but at least he didn't snap the thing in half, so it still works.2. My iPOD. Dang straight! I love my ipod. Parker has been messing around with it ever since we got it, but I think he's finally got the thing figured out, and he's now in the process of downloading all kinds of movies and things on it. I've been using it when I work out. But I really love it, and I can't wait to fill it with all those songs that I love on the radio that I DON'T HAVE. But I will.

3. My Magnification Loupes. These things are what I use at work. They make it easier for me to see in the mouth, and they're really nice. They save my back and arms and I totally love them. I don't regret getting them for a second.4. My sonicaire toothbrush. I love this thing to death. You may know, I've already mentioned this thing in a pevious post. I really prefer it to a manual toothbrush, it just feels so good. I'll never go back.

5. My cell phone. It's funny that I never actually owned my own cell phone until a couple months ago. For about three years before that, Parker and I shared a cell-phone but it wasn't till recently that I had my very own cell phone. And I like it lots.

6. My ceramic flat-iron. I got that thing after I got my first dramatic haircut, and it's never failed me since. I also have Teresa to thank for this one. It was kinda expensive, but it has BY FAR paid itself off. I can't tell you how many flat-irons my sisters have gone through, and I still have the same one. The chord doesn't wind up all crazy-like, and it always gets hot, and the spring has never broken.

7. Okay, I have to admit, this thing is NOT mine. It's my mom's. However, it's awesome. It's a noise-maker that I keep in Caleb's room. It makes sounds like rain, thunderstorm, rainforest, ocean, a heartbeat, and white noise. OH! And crickets.....parker LOVES the crickets. We use that thing, and it just eases my conscience cuz I don't have to worry about the noisy family waking up my little boy.

8. Okay, this isn't mine EITHER. But once again, my mother just has the awesomest stuff. I have never had a good-night sleep like the ones I have on the MEMORY FOAM MATTRESS TOPPER. Oh my goodness. I love a soft mattress, I like to sink in and fall asleep. Hard mattresses make my shoulders and hips hurt. But this memory foam mattress topper is simply heavenly. Thank you Costco!

9. Last but not least...my favorite perfume. "Eternity Moment" by Calvin Klein. I have to say I am still so surprised at how much I like it. Parker bought it for me for our first Christmas. I didn't even ask for it, but he thought I'd like it and he was RIGHT. It's by far the best perfume I've ever smelled, and I've never smelled it on anyone else...so it's like it's MY scent. It's yummy. Okay, I'm done being materialistic. I just had to let you all know about my favorite things. I never really posted about new years, and that's because I'm still collecting pictures. Can you believe I forgot to bring the camera to my favorite party of the year? Rediculous I know. Okay, I promise I won't wait so long to post again!
