more of my favorite things...

A few months ago, I posted a list of my favorite things. As the seasons have changed, so has my list. So here's what tickles me these days.

Brunch. We're having friends over for brunch tomorrow and I'm so excited! I love making brunch and don't get to do it nearly enough. This may be a resolution for me in the future. Screw Sunday dinner. Give me Sunday brunch any day!

My "Cleo" Crocs. I generally think Crocs are ugly, if not functional. But my new Cleos are darling (well, Jeff doesn't think so, but I do), lightweight, comfy, and reasonable at around $30.

Old Time Radio. This is one of my all-time favorite things. I have a collection of around 1000 shows from the 30's, 40's, and 50's. Most of my shows are comedies (Jack Benny, Ozzie & Harriet, Burns & Allen, Fibber McGee & Molly, and The Great Gildersleeve are all time faves), but I also love cheesy detective shows like Dragnet, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, and Boston Blackie as well. I listen every night as I fall asleep. Old time was even instrumental in letting me know that Jeff was "The One." I'll have to tell you that story sometime.

College football. The season starts this week, and I CAN'T WAIT!! My Hawkeyes have a tough schedule with road games in the Horseshoe and @ Happy Valley, but I have high hopes. Oh, and my #2 team looks pretty good this year...Hook 'Em Horns!

Fruit smoothies. I don't know if it's the abundance of summer fruit or what, but I can't get enough of these. Yum. My fave is a banana, orange juice, mango, and strawberry smoothie with milk. :)

The Bible. I've made a commitment to read some every day, and while it's definitely a daunting task, I'm taking so much away. What an amazing boost for my faith.

Naps. I have been taking more than my share of naps lately. Hence the lack of posts here (sorry, Adri!) Emerson is just wearing me out lately, so my afternoon catnap is just what I need to recharge.

The WDW Radio podcast. I've mentioned it before, but it's worth hearing again. If you're a huge Disney fan, are planning a trip there, or just need a fix of all things Disney, this is the show for you. It has been my constant training companion as I've run literally hundreds of miles with Lou. He was even the reason I signed up for my first 1/2 marathon to begin with.

Talking in your sleep. Most specifically, Emerson talking in her sleep. She does it just about every time she is dozing, and it's funny to hear with is in her mind as she drifts off. Pretty cute stuff.

Ok, I think that's it for now. Happy weekend, all.
