Well, I can name family and friends right off the bat! My aunt Shelle was just here to visit, and it was nothing short of fabulous. We had a party and everything, at the loft. Nerves were a’janglin! (Mostly mine.) Unfortunately, Shelle ended up working most of the time. Not that I wasn’t contributing. I was! By putting together a table (that she had bought for me) and subsequently having two of the glass panels crash to the floor and shatter. Now, you might be saying that that doesn’t sound like a favorite thing at all. And you’d be right. My favorite thing is our reactions to the situation, and to each other. When you can laugh like mad people over the fact that one of you (Shelle) is sweeping up a giant pile of glass from the bathroom floor, for the SECOND TIME, on the day of “her” party, you have to have a sense of humor. Did I mention that it was her birthday?
If I had a fireplace, I’m sure she would have been cleaning the cinders out of it.
Another thing that I love is my mom’s Chef-Boy-R-Dee pizza. The kind where you add your own toppings. My best friend used to worm her way into eating over at our house when she knew we were having that. You’d take a square-shaped piece of pizza, and it would kind of droop in your hand. (Now I’m hungry!) And the best part of all? Either left-over tavern meat or green olives as toppings. With both? Swoon!!!
And lastly (well, not really lastly, I’m just tired of composing this) is watching my favorite moments from TV / Movies over, and over, and over. My poor friends and family. It’s amazing that they still associate with me!
(I have a stuffed goat that sings “The Lonely Goatherd” from The Sound of Music. It was a gift. Fear me.)
