These are a few of my Favorite Things...

Rain drops on roses, and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens...

Sorry I couldn't resist. I'm a closet Julie Andrews fan. Anyways, We were sitting around the other day talking about our favorite movie of all time. I had to think for a while, and I finally concluded that my favorite movie of all time would have to be Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I know, I know...I can already see the eyes rolling at me, it's the same look I get from Jen all the time, I'm used to it. I have my nerd armour on and you can't hurt me. I started to think what some of my other favorite things are, and I'm calling Jen out to post hers as well, because I'm sure I might know a few things on her list, but not all. So here is my list of things I like, love, care about, cherish... well you get the idea.

Slapstick Comedies
Cricket (The sport, but the insect is okay in my book too.)
Playing in the rain
A good bowl of homemade soup, no matter what kind it is.
