Fridays Fave Five-2009, Part One

I am even tired of my own moaning and groaning so today, I am going to go back to the tried and true five favorites of the week list! I realize I have already done a thankful list this week - but when you are trying to climb out of a pit, it is good for the soul to focus on the happy blessings in life.

1. Zooboomafoo. For those of you with children under the age of five, there is probably no explanation needed. For the other ten of you that read this blog...it is a kids show on PBS Sprout that is basically a trip to the zoo every time it comes on. This show was a fave of Hannah's for a long time when she was three. Just this week it has made a comeback in her tv watching lineup. I am thrilled - I love those Kratt Brothers and I love even more the small thirty minutes of peace I get whenever they are in the living room entertaining her!!

2. Cell Phones. Now, I know just last week I was bemoaning their existence. what with all the missed calls, ignored texts, windy days causing the long distance calls to go unanswered. But seriously, I am thankful for the cell phone I wear on my person. How neat to be walking through a store and get a phone call from my mom. So much fun to hear a friend's voice as I am riding down the road, feeling blue. I am thankful for them, even if I want them to improve just a little.

3. Mountain Dew. Okay - so this list is not very sophisticated..... but just this week this fun drink has made a comeback in my world. I bought some last week to have on hand as I have a friend who is a Dew drinker...and then after the visit, I was left with 11 dews in the fridge. My husband has always been a fan - but the caffeine is sometimes too much for him..so they are a rare find in our home. I have taken to drinking them - the bottles are so cute.... and I am loving it! Bring on the DEW!!

4. Motorcycles. Now this is one fave five that you never saw coming on this blog, I guarantee it! And let me preface this by saying I am not a fan of the two wheeler. But my husband is. He is planning a trip next weekend to a certain beach for a certain event. He is extremely happy to be going and I am extremely happy that he has found something fun to do. So, this week, and probably only this week, I am thankful for the cycle, cause when he is happy, we are all happy. (and both sets of our parents just openly gasped when they read that...SORRY!!)

5. Last but not least, I am thankful that the week is over. It has been a particularly long week. I am looking forward to seeing my parents next week, when they come home for a visit and I am just glad this long, boring, tiresome, slow week is over...

What are your fave fives from the week??? I can't wait to hear!
