Favorites of 2007

My favorite things of 2006:

1. Favorite book(s): HER SEXIEST MISTAKE by Jill Shalvis, MURDER WOMEN CLUB series by James Patterson, THE KNOT by Marty Kindall, and SAVING GRACE by Jerri Drennen.

2. Favorite movie - love story: HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS (sad ending, but fighting scenes, in addition to a beautiful love story, are great!) Favorite movie-action: BOURNE SUPREMACY (Matt Damon jumped into my fave actors category after BOURNE movies). Favorite movie-sci-fi: SERENITY. The movie I want to see: CASINO ROYALE.

3. Favorite news: Kelly's, Marty's and Michelle's sales, and Rene's getting an agent.

4. Favorite show: GREY'S ANATOMY and CSI: Special Victims Unit.

5. Favorite song: My Hips Don't Lie by Shakira.

What are your faves of 2006?

I'd love to start a tag and tag Lis, Bailey, and Marty, but it's entirely up to you. Lis, I know I owe you a tag - the next entry, okay?

P.S. I've spent part of Christmas in the ER. My granny (MIL), the nicest person in the world, broke her hip. She's 92, and as you know I believe in positive energy, please send her good vibes and wishes. Thank you.

Oh, best wishes to your granny. Hope she feels better soon.

"House of Flying Daggers" was so beautiful, populated with beautiful actors. I had a big crush on the one guy, he was so gorgeous.

Loved "Hips Don't Lie." I love Shakira. Beautiful, brainy and talented. My favorite song was "Breathe Me" by Sia.

Oh I hope your granny will be okay. Prayers are winging their way there.

I'll do this for New Years Day. I already have tomorrow's planned.

Um, doesn't someone near and dear have a birthday coming up? Except I can never remember if it's New Year's Eve or New Year's Day ...

Rene, your description of Shakira fits perfectly! I like also that she's so kind (her charity organization "Pies Descalzos"). Thanks for good wishes. As for the "House of Flying Daggers", I think I know whom you mean. Yes, he's gorgeous.

Thinking of your gran - hope she recovers quickly!

I think your idea of listing of favourite things for 2006 is a great one; a good way to look back on the past year :-)
