I recently did
an interview for the 'Get Lost in a
Story'
blog. One of the questions was what was my favorite movie? Well, it's actually My
Fair Lady, but I went through quite a list. One of my favorite movies is Sound
of Music, and one of my favorite songs in the movie is "My Favorite
Things." So, I got to thinking about my favorite things. I've been very busy
recently, too busy, probably. I want to find a bit of balance in my life, so I
wondered, what are a few of my favorite things to do, and when was the last
time I did them? If it's longer than six months, I'm thinking I probably need
to take a step back. So, here we go. Five of my favorite things.
5. Bubble Baths surrounded by lighted candles and a great book. (Yes! Did this just a couple of weeks ago, but I don't do it enough).
5. Bubble Baths surrounded by lighted candles and a great book. (Yes! Did this just a couple of weeks ago, but I don't do it enough).
4. Spend the weekend in a mountain cabin with no phone, no light and no motor car. (I definitely need to take a vacation. I can't remember the last time I did this—I'm scheduling it!)
3. Curled up in
front of a fire watching a movie with someone special. (Oops…I'm thinking I
need to make a bit more effort here).
1. Christmas with my Family. (Check. I did that this year…the fact that my Christmas tree is still up right now (let's just not go there, shall we?)
That's not the
whole list, but I guess I have some work to do. So, dear readers, what is one
of your favorite things? Event, food, book, movie, anything. I'd love to know!

About FINDING HER SON
THE ONLY MAN A
DESPERATE MOTHER CAN TRUST…
Investigating a
cold case is SWAT cop Mitch Bradford’s worst nightmare—especially when it
involves a kidnapped infant. But thanks to an injury, he’ll have to settle for
following Emily Wentworth instead of breaking down doors and cuffing criminals.
The prime
suspect in a mysterious disappearance, Emily has always claimed she was framed.
And as he earns the trust of the incredibly desperate—and unbelievably
beautiful— mother, every instinct tells Mitch to believe her. Then new evidence
unfolds, revealing an elaborate conspiracy and forcing Emily into a deadly
spotlight. Now, torn between loyalty to the badge and his promises to Emily,
Mitch may have to make the ultimate sacrifice if he’s to bring her little boy
home.
EXCERPT - a brief taste from
the beginning…
Icy wind howled through the SUV's shattered windshield, spraying glass and freezing sleet across Eric Wentworth's face. He struggled in and out of consciousness. Flashes of memory struck. Oncoming headlights on the wrong side of the road. Skidding tires on black ice. The baby's cries. Emily's screams.
Oh, God.
Why couldn't he focus? Above the wind, he heard only silence, then an ominous gurgling sound from his lungs. He shifted his head slightly to check on his wife, and a knifelike pain seared his neck. He stopped, staring in horror at the shaft of metal guardrail penetrating his chest. Blood pulsed from the wound, but he couldn't feel it. He couldn't feel anything.
Eric was dying. And it was no accident. He hadn't taken the threats seriously, hadn't told Emily what he'd done. Why they were all in danger.

LOVE THIS BOOK!
ReplyDeleteLove the author!
Don't get the bubble bath...lol Add jet bubbles and maybe... >>>GRIN<<<
~Angi
Thanks, Angi!
DeleteI must admit I'd LOVE a hot tub. It's on my wanna have list!
I just love lounging in hot water and relaxing. Calgon, take me away!
Favorite food at the moment? Barbecued steak pizza, made at a restaurant in my hometown half an hour away. When I get that craving, there's no stopping me (and my days of being pregnant are long gone), LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteYummmmm. Chunks of beef, red peppers, onions, mushrooms, all slathered in barbecue sauce. OMG>>>>>
Okay, Laney...mouth watering! That just sounds heavenly! Now I want one LOL!!
DeleteExcept it would probably take as many hours to work off as the brownie Sundae. I burn about 300-350 calories per workout, so, my brownie Sundae costs me 4 days of working out. That's a lot of crunches and bike.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fav Ice cream- Cookie Dough
ReplyDeleteFav past time- reading
Fav color- sometimes green, sometimes blue
:)
Hi Colleen--
DeleteOf course, love reading! Your fave colors are interesting. I'm partial to eggplant (the color more than the food, btw LOL).
Fave ice cream...Baskin Robbins peanut butter and chocolate or Moose Tracks! Now I really am hungry.
Thanks so much for paying a visit!
My favorite thing right now is LIFE. Praise God for Doctors and Hospitals with the knowlege to diagnose and operate for cancer. My prognosis is great as the cancer had not spread1
ReplyDeleteNow my normal list would have to include some of yours. A mountain cabin or even a tent with no phone, traffic, or tv is my little glimpse of heaven.
A good book or dozen by my favorite authors makes for a great time.
Crackers, cheese, and wine to go with those books can make a vacation to that mountain cabin a real treat!!
Hey, Connie--Jeri told me the great news! So glad to hear you have much to celebrate. Our prayers were answered. Take care.
DeleteJulie M.
Connie...thanks SO much for stopping by and reminding us of what's really important!! I'm thrilled your prognosis is good. Modern medicine is truly amazing!
DeleteAs to your fave things....love the quiet, too and love your additions to my cabin experience. Especially good books LOL!!
All my best,
Robin
Great list! The book sounds very good.

Thanks! And thanks for stopping by!!

Hi Robin,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing? Hmm ...I'd have to say is vanilla- flavored coffee and Birthday Cake Pops from Starbucks. My kids call them Caky pops. One is "never" enough! And of course the love of reading goes without saying.
Hi WW :-)
DeleteOoo...never had Cake Pops before. Sounds yummy, though. But if one is never enough...hmmm, maybe I should stay away. I like sweets WAY TOO MUCH! Especially chocolate!
Thanks for the visit! Good luck in the giveaway!
Robin
Reading a good book and watching a baseball game - preferably my Rangers winning.
ReplyDeleteSo, a Texas fan. I'm more of a football girl--Oklahoma Sooners to be exact. In fact, I use them in Finding Her Son, but I like baseball, too.
DeleteA good book. Always.
Thanks for stopping by!
Robin
One of my favorite things is raunchy comedies like Bridesmaids and The Hangover. These movies never fail to make me laugh especially when I'm feeling a little down.
ReplyDeleteLaughing is the best! How about I LOVE LUCY reruns. Or Carol Burnett. Particularly the outtakes. There are some great ones. Here's one of my faves...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qqE_WmagjY (there's kind of a naughty word at the very end...but it's worth it LOL)
DeleteI can't help but laugh hard at that one. Especially because Tim Conway cracked everyone up. Nothing's better than laughing when you feel down, Jane. Totally agree!
Thanks for the 'laugh', cause I had to watch that video before I posted it.
Robin
One of my favourite things is chocolate.
ReplyDeleteDitto, chey! You're after my own heart! Yummm.....
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Robin
Late at night when every one is in bed and the house is quite I like to spend time reading. Also love chocolate.
ReplyDeleteHi QL--
DeleteI love the quiet at night. Especially if the crickets are chirping outside (not inside).
I also like to read in front of a fire. And chocolate...heck, a given! :-)
Thanks for posting. Great to see you here.
Robin
This book sounds great!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing - I love a quiet house, but even better when I have time to spend in my craftroom and make cards. My absolute favorite thing to do.
Thanks, Cheryl. I was so psyched when I received 4.5 stars from RT Book Reviews, but I've received some fan letters, too. And it's so cool that people like Emily and Mitch (and the rest of the Bradfords).
DeleteI think it's amazing that you make cards. I have a couple of friends who do that, and I can't imagine the patience it takes. What a wonderful creative outlet...and it makes everything received SO special.
Thanks for visiting. You made me smile.
Robin
Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens, Bright Copper Kettles and Warm Woolen Mittens..... Ok I had to start singing the song since My Favorite Things is one of my favoite songs from the Sound of Music. Ok so my favorite things:
ReplyDeleteAnimal: Cats
Activity: Reading & Spending time with family
Color: Blue
Now I can't say a favorite movie or book because I have too many. I will have to check your book out. I really like cold cases. In fact I remember there was a TV show on CBS that was called Cold Case that I really enjoyed.
Congrats to Connie that her cancer hasn't spread!!!
Hi Laura. Love that you quoted the lyrics! It's definitely tough to pick a single book or movie. I like blue, too...but deep sapphire blue or teal.
ReplyDeleteHope you like the book. Thanks for stopping by.
Robin
Great post, Robin.
ReplyDeleteWow, I have so many favorite things I couldn't begin to name them, but you did a great job with your list.
(In no particular order: Snow, writing, reading, cheese, MLB, Vampire Diaries, Dexter, Justified, True Blood, Comedies like Horrible Bosses...) Maybe I can begin. :-)
Congrats on all your success! So thrilled for you!
Hey there, Alicia! LOVE YOUR LIST! Ditto on so many of them. Justified...Dexter...I haven't seen much of Vampire Diaries and True Blood...but, when I have a few minutes...
