These Are a Few of My Favorite Things (if you call 100 "a few", that is)

I haven't been able to get that song out of my mind ever since I saw Susannah's list of "100 Things I Love." I'm finally getting around to posting my version and I kept a few of her answers because some of those really are things I love. Also I should mention you won't find my family or friends on this list, even though I love them the most of all, because I'm trying to make this a list of things or experiences rather than people. So ok, onward! These are a few of my favorite things: 1. blue skies 2. books 3. movies 4. kissing 5. quilts 6. coffee 7. the ocean 8. freedom 9. my intuition 10. candle-lit bubblebaths 11. wine 12. poetry 13.
