These are a few of "My Favorite Things"....la la la la la la la la

It's probably a good thing you couldn't actually hear that little rendition of "My Favorite Things", as my singing could be compared to that of a duck with laryngitis.  No, I'm not sick thanks, I always sing like that - I know it, and I do it anyway.  lol  This is where having a daughter with "the Big A" is beneficial.  I'm pretty sure if she were "typical", she would have lots of criticism for me.  (This I assume, from what I hear from parents of tipies).  Although she is mostly non-communicative she sings quite a lot - fortunately she has the voice of an Angel, and was not blessed with Mommy's singing talents.  (serious lol here)

I've been wanting to start a portion of my blog called - "My favorite things" and what better way to start, than with the best doggone shoes I ever bought! 

Oh wait...first I should tell you - I am a sucker for all things Miu miu!  For this I must blame my Sister!  A few years ago she introduced me to her Black Bow satchel - and I have coveted it ever since!  (Evil Temptress, that she is!  lol  "Whew - where did that come from")  OK, now that I got that out of my system...

TA - DAH!

My new suede Miu miu Ballerina flats...are they too cute or what?  I received these wonderful "Little Pretties" in the mail today!  And I LOVE em!  In fact - I haven't taken them off since I took this picture! 

I am wearing them to do my house work...


See how hard I'm working!  JK...I really was.  I swear!

And as soon as I am finished with this entry, which is taking forever, due to the five dozen interruptions from daughter, dog 1, dog 2 and the phone!  I have to make the chocolate chip cookies I promised my hubby.  Oh...and have I told you how much I hate to bake?  I do, but we'll save that for another entry. 

More "Favorite things" to come...after I bake the cookies, "do my homework, feed the hogs".  Yes, that is a quote from one of "my favorite" all time movies!  Do you know which one it is?  Did you catch the previous one?

Ohhhh noooo...

When I was wiping the counters down this morning - I discovered this;


Yes, it is a crack in my new granite! sniff sniff
I kinda-sorta want to cry!  Waiting to hear back from the company. 
Well, at least we found it before we tiled the back splash.
Argh...I know it is hard to see in the pic, but hubby saw it immediately when he got home!  I knew I should have gone with the Black Galaxy!  Do you think it's a sign?
