My Favorite Things Revealed
Clearly not as elaborate as Oprah’s, but here is what I included in my favorite thing box to coworkers:
- A Tiffany & Co. Box - who doesn’t love to get one of these?! Plus, it is my favorite color. (Besides green and orange. Remember, I have a hard time picking “a” favorite)
- My Family Christmas Card - if we’re really talking about favorite things, my family tops the list. I’m not giving them away nor do they fit in a box, so a card will have to do.
- My Grandma W.’s recipe for Mexican Wedding Rings - there’s something about a used recipe card complete with stains and corrected typing. These are by far my favorite cookie and also represent another favorite - memories.
- Two Discs of my Favorite Songs - I turned 30 this year so I picked 30 of my favorite songs. Thank goodness for iTunes! I love to rate my library so it was easy to scroll through my 5 stars and pick a few of the best (in my opinion).
- Gift cards to Barnes & Noble and Starbucks - Curling up with a warm drink and a good book could sum how one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon.
Well - that’s the list. And yes, I deliberately chose 5 things because I have a thing for multiples of five. And yes, many things get this much thought.
Interested in Grandma W.’s recipe or my song list? Let me know and I’ll post them!
