Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, brown copper kettles and warm woolen mittens......
That joke's too obvious, isn't it?
Anyway, I'm going to make an assumption that by "things", it means something tangible, which leaves out activities, people, and the other sentimental stuff. The results, in no certain order, are:
1. Ice cream
2. Beach vacations
3. High-heeled, pointy toed shoes
4. Pedicures (For the record, I don't think numbers 3 and 4 are connected)
5. Hawkeye paraphernalia
6. Completed scrapbooks
7. Fiestaware
8. Good bargain
9. DVR
10. text messages
11. Pandora
12. long naps
13. Lists
14. 'Friends' DVD collection
15. Chapstick
16. Cashmere sweaters
17. JCrew
18. my bike
19. my bed
20. Board games

Day 5 - Favorite Quote(s)
"I believe in Christianity as I believe in the rising sun; not only because I see it, but because by it, I can see everything else." -C.S. Lewis
(In response to the question 'If all my sins are covered by the grace of Christ, can I do whatever pleases me?') "Yes, but as a follower of Jesus, what now pleases you?" - Martin Luther

Day 4 - Favorite Book
The Bible.
And I'm not just saying that because that's what you're supposed to say. Everything else pales in comparison. The simplicity of the gospel message contained throughout every page contrasting with the depth that a lifetime of studying could never fully comprehend. What other book could you say that about?

Day 3 - Favorite Television Program
Are we allowed to have ties? Or sub-categories? I think so. In that case:
Favorite Drama: "The West Wing"
Favorite Comedy: "Friends"
As many people have pointed out to me, I might like these shows a little too much.

Day 2 - Favorite Movie
Easy as pie.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Butch: "How many of 'em are following us?"
Sundance: "All of 'em."
Butch: "All of em! What's the matter with those guys?!"
Sundance: "You just keep thinking, Butch. That's what you're good at."
Butch: "Boy, I got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals."
Butch: "Would you make a jump like that you didn't have to?"
Sundance: "I have to, and I'm not gonna."
Butch: "All right. I'll jump first."
Sundance: "No."
Butch: "Then you jump first."
Sundance: "No, I said."
Butch: "What's the matter with you?"
Sundance: "I can't swim."
(laughter)
Butch: "Are you crazy? The fall will probably kill you."
Butch: "I think they're in the trees up ahead."
Sundance: "In the bushes on the left."
Butch: "I'm telling you, they're in the trees up ahead."
Sundance: "You take the trees, I'll take the bushes."
Percy Garris: "Will you two beginners cut it out?"
Butch: "Well, we're just trying to spot an ambush, Mr. Garris."
Percy Garris: "Morons. I've got morons on my team. Nobody is going to rob us going down the mountain. We've got no money going down the mountain. When we have got the money, on the way back, then you can sweat."
Butch: "Well, the way I figure it, we can either fight or give. If we give, we go to jail."
Sundance: "I've been there already."
Butch: "We could fight. They'll stay right where they are and starve us out. Or go for position, shoot us. Might even get a rock slide started. Get us that way. What else can they do?"
Sundance: "Well, they could surrender to us, but I wouldn't count on it."
