These are a few of my favorite THIIINGGGSSSS!

While ellipticizing a few days ago, I decided to watch the first half of The Sound of Music. (TV was sucking big time, and nothing gets my blood pumping like a good musical number! "The Hills are Aliiiivveee")... I've always loved The Sound of Music. In case I've never bragged about it before, I played Liesl in my 8th grade Junior High School performance! (I'm kind of a big deal)

To emulate Fraulein Maria this morning, I'd like to share with you all, "A Few of My Favorite Thingggssss!"...

1) My Princess Mug: A few years ago for Christmas, my grandparents decided to get all of their grandchildren mugs from Our Name is Mud. Mine said "Princess" & my brother's said "Genius." All of the other grandchildren just got mugs with their names on them. (Are we the favorites? I think so! Have our cousins resented us since? You bet!)

2) My Nasal Rinse Kit: Allergy season is upon us people. And this little writer needs relief! Claritin just doesn't cut it sometimes, so filling this bad boy up with saline solution and squeezing it up my nostrils each morning works WONDERS! Watching it leak out the other nostril is just an added bonus. (So sexy, I know)...

3) My Homemade Photo Booth Frame: Brian and I got these photo booth pictures at a bar in NYC a few months ago but I couldn't find a frame anywhere. ERGO: I constructed one myself out of random wood I found in my basement and lots of silver glitter! (Truth: the frame sucks & the picture falls out all the time. Posting this here is a plea for one of you to please buy me a new one).

Dog Poop on the Driveway: Little Becky's gotten into a horrible habit of taking all her craps on our driveway. It's most unpleasant and embarrassing.

That's right, I'm talking about you, Missy! Don't just lay there looking all cute and innocent...
