TWENTY FAVORITE THINGS!


I'll admit this hasn't been a banner blog week for me because I couldn't think of anything new today to say. So I borrowed from another blog I did yesterday. :) That's okay. I had a heck of a time thinking of a topic yesterday, so when I did think of a topic, I decided it was a good day for a Wednesday twenty. Not a Thursday thirteen or a Friday ten. Okay, so there isn’t a Friday ten…that I know of. Do you know how difficult it was to come up with twenty favorite things? Not because I couldn’t think of twenty things, but because I couldn’t narrow it down to twenty without some serious hair pulling. So here’s the raggety list The first item is a no brainer I didn’t have a bit of trouble putting as my top pick.

1. Spending time with my husband.

2. Have several hours to write completely without interruption of any kind human or mechanical.

3. Reading a fantastic book without interruption for several hours.

4. Eating at my favorite Italian restaurant in Arizona.

5. Eating at my favorite Southwest cuisine restaurant in Arizona.

6. Eating popcorn.

7. Eating pizza.

8. Enjoying a glass of Columbia Crest Merlot and having that glass last for hours.

9. Watching a spectacular action flick on the big screen.

10. Visiting with my little nieces, nephews, and grandbabies.

11. Feeling younger than I did when I was twenty-five on my fourty-fifth birthday.

12. Hearing a string of favorite tunes from the seventies and eighties.

13. Thinking about my three years in England and all the lovely castles I visited throughout the UK.

14. Having a luxury weekend at a resort with my hubby.

15. Discovering a super new author to read that really absorbs me in his or her story so I don’t want to put down their book.

16. Hearing a favorite author has a new book for me to read.

17. Getting royalty checks from my publishers.

18. Realizing I actually get paid to write!

19. Having a peak experience of peace.

20. Last, but not least, being the luckiest woman in the world. In my humble opinion.

So name what some of your very favorite things in the world and share them with me!

Sleeping in has to be one of my favorites, too. :) And you already know how much I loved England. :)
