Sunday Afternoon Reflections: A-Z Fun with Favorites

What a wild week it's been - and I thought my long weekend of baby-sitting last weekend was a whirlwind of adventure!  A doctor visit on Tuesday, an ER visit on Wednesday, back to the ER and into the hospital on Thursday, and home late on Friday, and I still don't know exactly what caused my leg to look like a war zone and hurt enough that I actually accepted some heavy duty pain killers. The most likely culprit is probably a spider (possibly an intermediate reaction to a brown recluse bite - and no, not everyone reacts the same way!) or some quirky infection introduced via a microscopic break in the skin, but whatever it was, it wasn't fun!

While I'm feeling MUCH better, I have to admit that my energy is still lagging a bit from the antibiotics and pain meds, so I decided to share one of those silly A-Z lists with you today. This one is on favorites - so without further ado, here are some of mine from A through Z.  Please feel free to copy this list to your blog - and if you do, leave a link in a comment here so we can all see YOUR responses and learn more interesting and fun facts about you as well!
