New Words, Old Music

On Monday, Jan Morrison at Crazy Jane presented me with The Versatile Blogger award:


Thanks, Jan.

Jan is new to the Tiki Hut, and I hope she'll become a regular visitor here. I love her blog, and I hope you'll go visit, too, if you haven't already.


The rules passed on to Jan were to list seven new things about herself. She said she'd blabbed about herself enough and wasn't going there. So instead she listed seven of her favorite things in the world.


Her instructions:

You can write about your seven most electrifying sexual moments or new words to the song 'A few of my favorite things'.

Since there's no way I'm writing about my seven most electrifying sexual moments, unless you count that thingie with the toaster, here are my new words to "My Favorite Things" with sincere apologies to Oscar Hammerstein, may he rest in peace:

Sunshine and beaches

Crispy beef tacos

Fresh air and breezes

And loaded-up nachos

Seagulls that clamor, laugh, dance and sing

These are a few of my favorite things.

Rain on the sidewalk

And loud claps of thunder

Smiles on kids' faces

And eyes filled with wonder

Silvery moonlight, like angel wings

These are a few of my favorite things.

When the plot drops

When the words stop

When the end stinks bad

I simply remember my favorite things

So I don't go screaming mad!

Okay, that's done. Now to pass this on to five more Versatile Bloggers. Since the key seems to be VERSATILE, here are my rules: list your seven most memorable moments OR new words to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."

And my five Versatile Bloggers are:
Alex at Alex J. Cavanaugh
Arlee at tossing it out
Elspeth at It's a Mystery
