Her prompt (inspired by Scary Mommy)is: What would you put in your favorite things giveaway?
So, here goes......
#1 has to be a Tivo - my amazing hubby got me Tivo as a wedding gift and told me this in the limo from the ceremony to the reception. I think that was one of the greatest moments of my wedding day. I don't just like my Tivo, I LOVE my Tivo and regularly refer to him as my boyfriend. He not only records ALL my shows (many being bad reality TV), and allows me to watch them to watch them at my leisure. Also Tivo suggests shows I may like based on what I regularly watch.....god bless you Tivo. For with you, I will never watch commercials again.
#2 would have to be a Signing Time DVD. My son, G, is obsessed with Signing Time. These are a great collection of 30 minute shows introducing your child to sign language using pictures, songs, words, the works. If I even say, "Signing Time", my son begins to immediately sign Leah (the girl in the show) and practically starts salivating like a dog for a bone. They have been such a great way for G to learn to communicate what he wants and needs as toddler who can't exactly put his thoughts into words. They have also gotten me through moments of frustration by keeping him occupied and happy and they have gotten us through many a road trip in our car dvd player.
#3 would have to be Honey Buzzers cereal - yes, the imitation version of Honeycomb that they sell in giant bags at Walmart. It has become my new obsession and practically daily breakfast routine. It's so tasty and delicious and what makes me even happier is that knowing when I buy that gigantic bag it's costing even less than buying the small box of the authentic stuff....gotta love a bargain.
#4 would a Blackberry curve cell phone. It's pretty much my best friend. Having my phone, email, facebook, twitter, and blackberry messenger all right at my side is amazing. My life changed the day I finally upgraded from a plain cell phone to a Blackberry. There is a reason they call it a crackberry folks...addicting!
#5 would be Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream. My hubby went to Walmart the other night and I asked him to surprise me with dessert and to my delight this ice cream is what he brought me. I have always been a lover of Hagen Daaz coffee, but this simply takes it to a new level by marrying the deliciousness of coffee with Heath Bar.....Yum!
Well, that's my favorite things at the moment. It's definitely an ever changing list, but those are my loves for now. What would be in your favorite things basket? I feel so Oprah - esque.
