Oprah Winfrey fans must be excited that she’s coming out with her “favorite things” list. I have to admit, I have never heard of this list before. So, what does she do, just pick out things she likes, list them and people go crazy? I can do that!!
Here’s my list of favorite things:
1. My $15 Hamilton Beach waffle iron. Who cares that I’ve burned my hands twice now trying to open it up when it contained my burning breakfast;
2. My $100 Breville toaster. When I get fed up trying to make waffles, I take frozen ones out and put them in the toaster.
3. My newspaper delivery guy. He consistently throws my paper right near my door so I don’t have to go too far to get the sports and business section … who cares about the rest?
4. My Green Bay Packer Swim Cap. Anyone got one with a big red W I can buy?
5. My iPhone. It feeds my constant addiction to the outside world.
6. My red Raleigh bike – 5 speed. Never mind my much-too-expensive carbon trek. I love the huge soft seat on my Raleigh and the fact that I am only going about 7 miles per hour. Wanna take me on my splasher/dasher friends!
7. My plastic bins. Those that know me well, know that I have hundreds of plastic bins that organize our world here at home. Big ones, small ones, ones for the pens, clothes and even my spices. If you add up all I’ve spent on these bins, it might equal the amount Oprah spends on her soap.
8. My magazine subscriptions. I love getting Sport Illustrated, the Economist and Whole Living. What I don’t love is how much pressure I feel to read them once they start stacking up … those weekly ones are trouble!
9. My yoga mat. It’s the only thing that I own that one of my kids can’t borrow, wear or eat.
10. My family. They are free (sometimes) and are there for me no matter what!
Have a great day!
