My Favorite Things

As I was driving to work today that weird commercial that uses a messed up version of "My Favorite Things" to advertise shampoo or something, came on and it I started to think about some of my favorite things. I'm going to be all ambitious and write a version of the song with my favorite things, but I'm not sure if that will work.

With out further ado; My Favorite Things according to Sarah.

Jeans from the dryer o'er freshly shaved legs
The first sip of coffe and perfect fried eggs
The smell of the grass when it's cut in the spring
These are a few of my favorite things

Perfect guitar chords and a brand new pedi

The laughter of children and dinner that's ready

T
he joy that I get when I stand up and sing
These are a few of my favorite things

Sharp knives in my kitchen and red ripe tomatoes
The green of the trees and fire baked potatoes
The way that the light plays on my wedding ring
These are a few of my favorite things

When the night's short
When my head hurts
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.

Holy freaking crap that was really hard. What I thought would be a ten minute thing turned into an hour long ordeal. Rhyming is really really hard.


So any way, that's my version of My Favorite Things. =)



What I learned: It is hard to rewrite songs, but that I have a lot in my life to be thankful for.
