Payback

For lack of inspiration or motivation or because I have a cold, I'm borrowing an idea from my best girl, Teach, who borrowed it from her friend who borrowed it...I forget...Anyway, it's a list and everyday you post something about yourself.  Now, considering the twins are WALKING now, I highly doubt you'll get a little treasure from me every day.  Especially since the babies have just now spilled their snack and Anaya is fighting Rosie for what's on the floor.  Rosie has not yet learned that Anaya always wins.  Okay, so the list.  Here it is:

Day 01 — A favorite song
Day 02 — A favorite movie 

Day 03 — A favorite TV show

Day 04 — A favorite book
Day 05 — A favorite quote 

Day 06 — A fun fact about me

Day 07 — A favorite photo

Day 08 — Something I crave 

Day 09 — Pet peeves

Day 10 — A photo of me taken over ten years ago 

Day 11 — A photo of me taken recently 

Day 12 — Something I bought recently 

Day 13 — Something I want to buy

Day 14 — An old photo 

Day 15 — My celebrity crush 

Day 16 — A favorite food

Day 17 — A photo of my family

Day 18 — A baby photo

Day 19 — A fun memory 

Day 20 — A hobby of mine

Day 21 — A favorite recipe 

Day 22 — A favorite joke

Day 23 — A video 

Day 24 — A travel story 

Day 25 — A favorite photo

Day 26 — A funny (true) story

Day 27 — A child I love

Day 28 — A place I love 

Day 29 — A person I love 

Day 30 — Hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days

I'm going to start with numero uno:  A favorite song.  I have a lot of all-time favorites, like Goo Goo Dolls - Iris, Jessica Simpson's version of Angels, Etta James - At Last, The Black Crowes - She Talks to Angels, SHeDAISY - Lucky 4 You (Viva #23!)...But right now, I'm really loving that Brad Paisley song, Anything Like Me.  It's about finding out he and his wife are having a boy and he imagines getting payback if the boy is anything like himself.  I think it's scary looking into Anaya's eyes and seeing a reflection of myself.  I like to kid and say she's a lot like my sister, but who are we kidding?  Apples don't fall far, right?  I think the song also makes me think of the boys being just like Alan, based on stories he's told me.  I want Cathey and Bill to know that I cannot get Adam to stop hanging on the towel bar in the bathroom ;-)
