A Few of My Favorite Things

I've seen a few other bloggers post about their favorite things, and it made me wonder what I would include in a list of my own.  In the absence of anything interesting to post about, here are a few random things that I would have a hard time living without:



Clorox Bleach Pen
Such a little pen; such a powerful tool for keeping Landry's onesies white.

Harry and David Chocolate Covered Gummi Bears
It sounds like a weird combination of flavors, but it works  I'm embarassed at how little self-control I have when it comes to these little things!

Kohls Cash
A couple of Wednesdays ago, I re-discoverd Kohls.  I hadn't bought clothes for myself in a while, and I had an hour to kill before my class.  I noticed their Apt. 9 brand of clothing for the first time, and I found that almost everything in that brand was something that seemed to fit my exact taste.  I bought a few things that I've collectively dubbed my "spring spruce-up" with my oh-so-very-small teaching paycheck. To get rewarded for my purchase with a $10 gift certificate was a nice surprise!

Children's Museum Tot Spot
Now that Landry can crawl, this is the perfect place to take him on a rainy day...except all of Houston is also taking their little ones at the same time.  It seems much less crowded in the afternoons - when all of the responsible parents have taken their babies home for naptime.  The last time we went, Landry practically had the place to himself.

Isaiah: God Saves Sinners Commentary

Admittedly, this doesn't fit with my other selections, but I love this commentary.  I'm using it alongside the BSF study of Isaiah, and it reads like a devotional with a lot of applications for daily living. 

Kindle

While we are on the topic of literary masterpieces, I feel the need to officially state just how much I love my Kindle.  It rests perfectly on top of Landry's strollers for walks, and I can read in bed at night without disturbing Brian by turning the pages of a book.  I recently finished The Huger Games and Girl with a Dragon Tattoo trilogies.  Now, I'm trying to decide whether to tackle Anna Karenina or re-read A Thousand Splendid Suns in the Kindle version, which I already own the hardback. 

And, you've reached the end of my far-from-exhaustive list.  In fact, I thought that I'd post more "favorites," but the last post made me want to get in bed and read for a while instead of blogging!
