If Oprah can have a list of her favorite things, why can’t I? Here are the Top 10 Things I Can’t Do Without.
10. Fresh, ripe Georgia peaches.
9. Colors, esp. purple and various shades of blue.
8. Water!! Give me an ocean, a lake, a river, a tub. Beaches are always good. Pisces in me.
7. A full moon in a clear sky.
6. Jamaica. Jamaica. Jamaica.
5. My puppy dog, Grandma.
4. Poetry and music, or poetry read to music.
3. Black music: funk, soul, jazz, gospel, r&b, Marley (he’s his own genre), hip-hop…
2. Every interactive Elmo toy and the new dancing Tigger toy!!!
1. The Bible, of coursre.
What things top your list?
My son would be in heaven at your house with those Elmo and Tigger toys. Tigger is at the top of his Christmas list. Most of my favorite things aren’t really things you can buy. They are more of certain feelings and atmospheres.

9. bodies of agua. wish i lived right on a lake (except for the mosquitoes)

1. ethnic/foreign foods: especially Indian, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern, and Thai - so. much. YUM.
It’s official. We were separated at birth. On #7, I just bought a 1970s copy of The Little Engine That Could for myself for Christmas. I also love lavendar, and the first walls I ever painted I did in lavendar and green. We also like the same foods!!! Go figure. Are you SURE you’re not my double?! This is uncanny.

anyone who loves Indian and other ethnic foods is COOL in my book any day!! most people i know won’t eat in any restaurant that doesn’t serve chicken fingers, burgers or french fries…
