A Few of My {Current} Favorite Things

I love playing the favorites game. It's a great way to get to know new friends a little bit better, or to remind you about what makes old friends tick.  However, when it comes to playing the game I always struggle to remember my Top 5 of... well.. EVERYTHING. And I change them all the time, except for my top 2 which generally stay the same. So for my sanity, and for your entertainment, here are a few of my favorite things.

PS. I totally missed the live streaming of Sound of Music last night with Carrie Underwood. Was it any good?

 PSS. I'm totally not kidding when I say that as I was writing this "My Favorite Things" started playing in Barnes & Noble. IT KNOWS!

    I feel like people were really hard on The Sound Of Music and Carrie Underwood. It is a LIVE performance so it's not going to be anything like a movie. Yes, she isn't Julie Andrews, but she did a good job! I wish that people would have given it more credit, but that's our negative nancy world for ya. ;) Haha!

      I've heard so many mixed reviews, but it is definitely a frightening feat doing it live! I'm not a singer at all so I can't critique what I can't do. Hopefully someone I know recorded it so I can get a chance to watch it myself!

      I wonder why we love it ;) It's so good! I love getting a glimpse into her perspective of theatre and faith which is rarely addressed, especially in literature.

    All of Karen Kingsbury's books are great! And Rachel McAdams is my favorite actress, too! Thanks for sharing your favorites.
