Julia at Sometimes Lucid has challenged me to name 10 favorite things that start with the letter "W." Well, you all know what the first one will be:
1. Wicked - yes, I've seen it six times. Given the opportunity (and funds), I'd see it again. The show's not perfect, but it's pretty darn close.
2. Wizard of Oz - I'm sure some of my love for Wicked has to do with The Wizard of Oz being my favorite movie when I was growing up.
3. Working - Sure, it's hard to balance working and motherhood, but I enjoy the challenges that work provides me. You know why? Because it's easier than motherhood! The duties are more clear-cut, and the people at my job anyway are just too great for words. I have no desire to take over the world through my work, but I enjoy what I do and I'm grateful for the opportunities I've been given here.
4. the Web - seriously, how did people do it before the Innernetz, as Dingo likes to say? I have a vague recollection of my life before the Web, and all I can think is, I was SO deprived!
5. the water - I'm most looking forward to watching the waves lap against the ship when I go in 11 days. While I can't go longer than 3 days in a row without seeing land, I loved being out on that vast ocean when I worked on a cruise ship. I loved listening to the water and being rocked to sleep.This is probably some indication of my still not being ready to leave the womb, and how immature I am, but I don't care. I still love it.
6. Whatever - I've written about this before, but for me, it's still a new experience to learn not to care about certain things. Things or people over which I have no control. I'm frankly proud of myself whenever I can let it go.
7. Words - I struggle with finding the right ones - and don't always succeed - but I love the power that words can have to inspire, to change the world. Yes, I really do believe that.
8. Wine - Either curled up on my sofa watching a good movie, or enjoyed with friends. Can't beat a good bottle of red.
9. The West Wing - yep. I'm still obsessed.
10. Warmth - I love being warm, I love the warmth of a fire, the warmth while cuddling with my girls and/or cat, and the warmth of friends.
If you'd like to play, let me know, and I'll pick a letter for you!

oh I want to play
*sigh* Its anything but warm here in Colorado. I guess its a good thing you picked California as your place of residence. At least Wine has its own warming influence...tee hee hee.
Work IS easier than parenting. At least I know that I can handle anything work decides to throw at me. Fun list! Life before Web? I call it the dark ages.
I am rather impressed - I don't think I could come up with 10 things beginning with "w" never mind 10 things I like. After I get past "whipped cream" and "Wispas" I sort of get stuck.
What a fabulous job! ....and #( has 2 W's! clever girl!
I love the Wizard of Oz to...such happy memories....
I haven't had a chance to see Wicked, but I have read the book, and "Son of a Witch" and have "A Lion Among Men" in my reading queue.
I'm always looking for a fun meme... hit me with your best shot. I'd loved to play along.
I am so happy for you about the cruise!!! Enjoy that time as your own...
I'll play, on one condition: don't pick the letter G. I hate the letter G. Lol.
Great list! Wizard of Oz is one of those movies that I simply have to watch at least once a year.
I want to play!
#s 1, 2, 6, & 8 would all be on my list too. Fun!
I'd would love to say I'll play, but my posting is so sporadic and I'm not sure of the last time I actually did a meme, so I'll pass.
I'm kind of commenting on two posts here, but HOW cool are those custom bikes for your girls? That's one thing I'd like to get for myself now that *Jacob* can ride w/o training wheels. Great exercise!
Gah! I had more to say, but it's 10:42 pm and my brain has gone into sleep mode.
well what a wonderful word wonder
This is fun. I procrastinate a lot so I'm not sure WHEN I would get around to it. But if you pick a letter for me I'll do it....eventually.
My cruise was FANTASTIC...didn't want to come home...hope yours is the same for you...oooooo, can I play???
I wanna play. Maybe it will motor-vate me to write something. W is hard though... don't make it a hard letter!
My 'f' words are up :P
