Here is one of my favorite things:

Rainboots

Rainboots are one of the greatest inventions ever.  There are few things that can make a situation go from fine to miserable faster than cold wet feet.  Rain boots prevent this problem, and actually allow you to walk through puddles just because you want to!  I have a pair that I wear nearly every day right now, because there is snush (snow and slush) on the ground as I walk to school.  It is my favorite thing to walk around campus with dry feet all day long.  I love me some rain boots.

Here is one of my favorite things:

Shreddies!

This is a type of cereal.  It is my favorite.  It's from the United Kingdom.  So when you read this, I hope you hear this in a British accent.  I first learned about Shreddies when my roommate and I were shopping in London, freshly arrived and scrimping on our groceries.  Shreddies were on sale, they had the label Nestle, and looked like a winner cereal that we were willing to take a risk on.  Risk was worth it!! Shreddies are whole-grain wheat squares, and most often we got the chocolate flavored shreddies with frosting. Mmmm delicious!  Absolutely perfect with milk.  They taste better than any.

Here is one of my favorite things:

GIYOZA

People ask me if I love sushi since I served a mission in Japan.  I do like sushi, but I love giyoza.  Fortunately I had been introduced to giyoza before going to Japan, thanks to my Dad.  But while in Japan, I got to enjoy giyoza more frequently.  I even got to go to giyoza making parties.  I had Japanese giyoza and Chinese giyoza, and I loved them all.  Now, we frequently have giyoza and it is one of T Bear's favorite.  We were at our favorite Teriyaki place and T Bear ate about 6 giyoza alone - it was impressive for a 2 year.  So the next time you are out, don't order sushi - order GIYOZA!

FLOWERS

Flower surprises.  I know that flowers are expensive, and they don't live for a long time.  They make no economic cents.  However, there is just something about a surprise of flowers that is my favorite.

Christmas Humor

One of our dear family friends (next door neighbors for years), sent this to us.  I am not sure if it is for T Bear or Baby Cub, but it could work for either one.  

I'm sure no one would ever think this about their sister(s), right?

POSTCARDS!

I love postcards.  I love them because they are simple.  They are small. They remind someone you thought of them, even when you were doing something else really exciting or important or awesome.  They require minimal time efforts.  They are a pleasant surprise in the mailbox to receive!  And they cost less to send!!! I love love postcards. Drop one in the mailbox today!
