... laughter is the best medicine ...

ver the past few months, DVR has become my new best friend. i don't know what i'll ever have to do if i have to get rid of it! i've realized that i now would rather not watch shows in real time (i even just like starting the show halfway through), it's much more fun to fast forward through commercials instead. a few days or so ago, i recorded "Women of SNL" - i finally made it through watching (most of it) and found myself remembering my favorite three skits... - such classics and a great cure for a bad day! (i couldn't find the videos on youtube but found them on NBC.com)

First there was the Spartan Cheerleaders - LOVE! (sorry that it's not the best quality)

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin is always a good time.

But my favorite would have to be Debbie Downer at Disney World. especially when everyone starts to loss it (at about 3:30) - i probably rewound and watched this 5 times!

Thank you SNL for many years of parodies and laughter!

...these are a few of my favorite things...

lhat a wonderful and relaxing weekend it has been. there is nothing i love more than sleeping (ok, maybe there are a few things...) and sleep is what i've done. i started out my weekend listening to some very talented friends play at a benefit show.


and then ...

for the first time ever...

i watched....


...the sound of music.

i know i know. gasp all you want. but in my defense - when i was little, i watched (multiple times) the movies we had on VHS. the sound of music was not one of them. seeing as how i loved mary poppins, i'm sure i would have loved sound of music, but we just didn't own it. i also feel that the sound of music is one of those movies that if you don't watch as a child, you most likely won't ever watch it. so there. so upon numerous gasps and WHAT?!! from my mother and amy motley, i rented it on netflix. knowing this is one of their favorite movies, i tried my best to fall in love with it. however, it was 3 hours long and i just didn't have a connection. i didn't hate it - but i probably won't be purchasing it any time soon - sorry! at least i tried...

so keeping in tune with the sound of music, i decide to make a list of a few of my favorite things that i experienced this weekend:
(side note - why would a favorite thing be whiskers on kittens?????)
-snow
-movies
-ice cream
-Avett Brothers and Pearl Jam
-photography
-reading a good book
-curling up on a couch
-sleeping
-being lazy
-a warm bed
-laughing


...so long, farewell...
