7 Favorite Things

MARCH

1. Birthdays - Well my birthday is March 6 so of course it would be one of my favorites. But not only is my birthday in March, but a bunch of my friends celebrate March birthdays or late February birthdays that are celebrated in March.

2. Moms Come to Visit - I finally got the honor of meeting my roommate Jenny's mom. It also helps to understand your friends when you meet their parents. It's cute how we are the images of our parents. My mom came to visit too! I had seen her in January, but I couldn't explain the excitement I felt the days building up to her arrival. And I can't even begin to explain the sadness I felt when i put her in the cab to go to the airport. Here's a rundown of all that happened while my mom was here...Mother/Daughter brunch at Alice's Tea Cup, 33 Variations, Two Cents Opera, Jimmy Fallon Show, Take Your Mom to Work Day, dinner with friends, brunch at Kitchenette, early bird movies, and tons more.

3. Sudden Outbursts of Singing - Almost everyone in New York has an iPod and sometimes they just can't contain the musical goodness going on in their ears. And when that happens, we all get to enjoy a good laugh.

4. Colin Hanks - Son of Tom Hanks. Now performing in 33 Variations with Jane Fonda. Age 31. Absolutely adorable!! Oh and when I gave my donation to Broadway Cares, he was the one taking the donation. So our hands met. What a magical moment.

5. The Biggest Loser - The show is so inspiring! This season's contestants have also restored my hope in people. Yes, it's a game, but most of these people have honestly been more concerned with the main goal of the show...losing the weight even if it means giving up their awards. My favorite contestant is also the youngest contestant, Mike. I'm also doing Jillian Michaels Thirty Day Shred. Bob Greene, one of the trainers, is from Tennessee. Wha-what!

6. Baltimore - It's my sanctuary. I love Baltimore! Great food (Pumpkin Cheesecake French Toast at Miss Shirley's). Great friends. The best cup of coffee. Fell's Point. The Gallery Church Baltimore. The Tattoo Museum. After two trips there, I know my way around.

7. Kelly Clarkson - All I Ever Wanted "Tell me with so many out there why I always turn to you, Your goodbyes tear me down every time, And it's so easy to see the blame is on me"
