8 favorite things

i was tagged by Marilyn Monroew for the 8 favorite things meme. i think i'm going to open it to answers from all of us here at our place.

s=suzanne
b=ben2
m=mama

Time of Day:
s=any time that i can convince mama to cuddle into bed with me

b=breakfast, snack, dinner, snack, tummy rub, scratch my ears, play with me. i like all those times!

m=the time right before falling asleep

Day of the Week:
s=saturday. mama sleeps in, and i sleep in with her.

b=any day. i like to get up. it's breakfast time!

m=sunday. quiet, peaceful. mine.

Season of the year:
s=winter. i can snuggle under the feather comforter all day long!

b=fall. my coat is almost grown back and i'm getting cozy.

m=spring and fall. i love sweater and sweatshirt weather. (ben doesn't know that he's getting another lion cut in late june or early july.)

Holiday:
s=new year's eve. if we're having company, it's a quiet evening. dinner is every purson's favorite meal...whatever that is.

b= advent and christmas. i love to play with the decorations and wrapping paper.

m=halloween has been one of my favorites. i was married to someone who didn't like the holiday, so i stopped decorating and enjoying it (not married to him anymore). and then my brother-in-law went to the human rainbow bridge this past halloween. those kinds of anniversaries have always had a big impact on me, so i'm curious to see if i can retain my enjoyment while remembering rich.

Beaches:
s=not my kind of trip, thanks.

b=nope, i've not been to the beach, but i think i'd like it! sand!

m=any beach in washington state. wild ocean, wind, salt air, shells, waves that chase you half-way up the sand!

Song:
s=hmmm. i don't really like music. my ears are too sensitive.

b=i like when mama sings 'you are my sunshine' when she takes me out in the ptu.

m=i like lots of kinds of music. lately, i've been listening to norwegian fiddle, and some toby keith.

Flower:
