9 of My Favorite Things from 2008 (List Lady)

My job- I get to impact the lives of young people by helping them be more included in the programs that they are participating in – what more could you ask for?? The best part of my job this year was when I got paid a very generous hourly rate (over $12/hour) to watch College Road Trip at 7:15am in the morning. I know you’re jealous. To ease this jealously, here’s a little taste of what you missed…hope it doesn ‘t make you hate me even more.


My favorite sports memory - Jets victory over the Titans. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I am a HUGE Jets fan, and I have been since I was a little girl. Some how, some way, I managed to pick one of the most mediocre teams to root for. They have managed to hover around the average level for the entirety of my 30 years. I’m sure there have been good games, but I’m not really one to remember these details. But, I did watch the entire Jets/Titans game (thank you TWC!). It was awesome to see the Jets beat a “good” team. Too bad they lost the next two games to mediocre teams.

My favorite Jet currently:


My favorite movie…out of all of the blockbusters that I have seen (Mamma Mia, Sex and the City, Nim’s Island, Four Christmases – you get the picture) – I would have to say my favorite was Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I mean, how can you not love a movie with a virginal Jack McBrayer and a Dracula musical performed by Jason Segal? It was funny, it was raunchy, it was smart, it was cute…qualities that the other movies listed all lacked. Maybe I just don’t get out to see too many good movies.


My favorite Liz Lemon quote – “I want to go to there” – need I say more???


My favorite summer vacation – Disney World. Okay, so this may not be totally fair because it was my only real summer vacation, but it was awesome! Aside from the heat (it was June, what did we expect?) and the shoe fiasco (which forced me to buy and wear my Mickey Crocs, which Matt despise…), it was a great trip. And the best part…beating Matt TWICE at the awesomest ride/game, Toy Story Mania. The Dream Fast Pass for Animal Kingdom and the German lunch buffet were also cool.

My favorite culinary creation – This is tough, especially since I really have a hard time remembering what I make. I usually don’t cook/bake the same thing twice, so that’s a LOT of recipes/dishes to remember! I think I am most proud of the apple pie I made for Thanksgiving, because it was totally from scratch. Pie crust has been the bane of my existence, but I finally got it right. My decorations were a little lame, but it sure was tasty!!!
