raindrops on roses & whiskers on kittens...

bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

brown paper packages tied up with strings

these are a few of my favorite things!

I'm excited about this weekend because it promises to hold some of my favorite things:

1. Warmer weather: the highs are breaking 50 for the first time in what seems like months. I am very much a summer girl, and this winter has been painful! I don't think I've ever been so excited to look at the weather and see 50 degrees!

2. Gone with the Wind: tonight, my friend Surfer Chick and I are going to see the play "Don't Cry For Me, Margaret Mitchell". It's supposed to be a "hysterical, historically-based look at what might have happened during the screenwriting process of 'Gone With the Wind'." I love GWTW--it is on the top of my favorites list for both books and movies, so I'm excited about this play!

3. Adorable children: tomorrow, a precious little girl I babysit some is having her 4th birthday party--and it is a pink party! How cute!

4. My alma mater: tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to visit some friends who still go to the college I graduated from... I'm excited to go back, and to see old friends!

5. Delicious cupcakes: tonight before the play, Surfer Chick and I are going to try to run by the cutest little bakery that has AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, DELICIOUS, AMAZING cupcakes... and this week the flavor of the week is funfetti! So good!

Anyone out there doing any of their favorite things this weekend?
