This is one of those containers that you get for free when you grind coffee beans at the grocery store. It is fantastic. I have a couple that I can use for different things than coffee. They are great for crackers or cereal, and they travel well. You seal them on all four sides and they do a pretty good job of keeping things fresh. They make my life easier and keep my coffee ready to go. I like it so much better than the cans preground coffee comes in. 
This is a hair "thingy" I got at BikeFest. That's our annual weekend for the bikers to come and invade a neighboring town. We had the in laws keep the kids and hubby and I got to walk around and act like-are you ready- adults. I saw this and fell in love. It is fabric over a malleable piece of wire, or something, and you wrap it around your hair. I can't do it by myself, so hubby has to help. This picture was taken towards the end of the day, but when my hair is first done, it looks really cool. I get all kinds of compliments and it definitely gets noticed. You can stretch it longer or make it shorter. As much hair as I have, it sure has to work overtime with me. Love it, love it, love it.
This is not just a picture of my dirty trash can. The true star of this shot is the green clips on the can. They are trash bag holders and they work like a charm. When we moved into our house, my goal was to have a trash can. Our other house was so small that we didn't have room for a trash can, so we just had a bag on the floor. The problem with the cans, though, is that the bags don't stay. The wider the opening, the harder for the bag to stay. Put something heavy in it, the bag slips into the can. Yuck! We have tried clothespins, but that holds the lid open. I got these at a big box store that I can't stand to go to. They were only $1 and they are hanging in the aisle with the trash bags. My next trip, which will hopefully be a very long time from now, I'm getting another set. I may get some and give them as gifts. They don't fling off like the clothespins, the bag doesn't fall all over itself and get covered with trash, and my life is so much easier.
If you have favorite things, please share. If we can all help each other out, what a better world for all of us.

I have one of those containers for my oatmeal!! My favorite things. . .
* My truck, of course. I can go anywhere, do anything, and take a bunch of people when I do it.
* Beautiful set of mugs I got last Christmas from a friend that works at Starbucks. The colors are beautiful and the flowers on it make me feel very peaceful.
* Chewy, my chocolate brown, fury body pillow. Yes, Chewy is short for Chewbakka (sp?, whatever).
Maybe I'll post the pics on my blog. Love you!!
