Friday Favorites

I had every intention of writing a meaningful post about Christmas today...but my brain is a bit fried, so that fell by the wayside. In its place, I'm going to post a list of things that I'm currently loving.

LL Bean Flannel Sheets in Bay Blue. Perfect for frigid December nights.
Peppermint Mocha Twists at Starbucks
I'm still digging Enya's new album And Winter Came
Lavender Bubble Bath
Audible.com Audiobooks
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion- light and creamy without being sticky
Water. From the tap. Great when you have to sing...

Anything in particular that anyone else is attached to at the moment?

Sleep . . .as much as I can get!
Singing with you guys! Again, as much as I can get.; December 13, 2008 at 2:06 PM
