These are a few of my favorite things (A musical interlude)

Sour cream on anything and whiskers not on my chin

processing my feelings with another co-depen-din

em-brac-ing my laptop with netflix stream-ing

these are a few of my favorite things!

 

Cream colored cheeses and people who don’t say toodles

roast chicken on the bone-y and gluten-y noodles

Take out dinner packages tied up with string

These are a few of my favorite things!


Ninety-plus rated wines priced under nine-ninety-ni-ine

when my kids go to sleep and the evening is mi-ine

anytime Rufus Wainwright or Nanci Griffith sings

These are a few of my favorite things --

 

When the cat pukes!

When sons fake cry!

When I'm feeling maaaaaaaaaaad

I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don't feel...so bad!

Celebrity Stalker

Bonus favorite thing: Suzy Soro’s new memoir Celebrity Stalker! Read tales of her life in Hollywood as a stand-up comic, hob-nobbing with celebs (or adjacent to celebs. okay, in the same zip code as celebs.)  Congratulations, Suzy!

  3. I adore you and certainly don't see you enough. When the holiday tilt-o-whirl stops spinning and we step off into 2013, let's get another weekday lunch. Deal?

  4. I remain one of the only people on earth who hasn't seen either of the Julie Andrews musicals. Neither May Poppins nor The Sound of Music. If that song is from either, I'm out of luck. HOWEVER, one of the stories that didn't make it into my book is the day I met Julie Andrews. It was that embarrassing. And calls for one of my sidebars.

  6. Sheesh, but Anonymous has got a thing for you.

    Loved this, funny and has me smiling.
    I will always love the songs from the classics: Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, the One Man Band, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Alllll the Disneys.

    And my favorite thing: everyone asleep, me in the dark, DVD player on my lap, watching my favorite scenes from my favorite movies, with earbuds in .

    How I love my favorite things.

  13. My sons fake cry, too! I sing "why are you whining?" to them to the tune of "Oh my darling, Clementine." It works to make my older boy stop, but the younger one likes it and begs for it in his whiniest voice whenever he starts fake crying.

  24. This post got liked by a few friends of mine on Facebook who - to my knowledge - don't even read blogs. My own mother was probably like, "Why am I wasting my time with Erin - jumping over."

    I like you on a mountaintop.
