These are a few of my favorite things...

If there is one girly bone in my body (and I'm discovering that there are more than I once thought...) it's evident in my love for Julie Andrews as Sister Maria in The Sound of Music.  I want to be her.

Every year around this time I get an annual itch to sit alone and watch this movie.  I say alone because the ending makes me cry, and I hate to cry in front of other people.  And lets face it, "I am sixteen going on seventeen" is just about the corniest song EVER, and makes me cringe (but I love it).  Oh dear, I'm sharing way too much.

Anyway, inspired by my most favorite song in the whole movie, I thought I'd post some of my favorite things this week.  Because...

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!

1.  taking silly pictures in public

Here I am, about to be eaten by a T-Rex at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco... 

...and doing karate in front of the Domain Carneros chateau.  Classy.

That's all I have for this morning because I'm still in my pjs - at 10 a.m. on a Monday.  I'm going to go make myself useful.  More to come.
