These are a few of my favorite things...

This is a list of my favorite things at the moment! I have bought each of these in the past three days, and I love them all! Starting with the first item, which was purchased on Saturday:
My shoes!!! I got Nike 6.0's for school, and they are BEAST! I hope you can see the tiny silver stars, that's my favorite part of them. I love stars! Unfortunately, I can't wear them until school starts. :( It has always been a rule at my house that we couldn't wear our new school clothes until school starts, but hey, it makes it more special! (At least, that's what my mom always told me.)
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. I picked this book up at Barnes&Noble (My favorite store ever,) yesterday and finished it this morning. It was a short book. Sarah and I saw a preview for Nick and Norah, as a movie, and thought it looked hilarious. I thought that I had read something that sounded like the preview, so I looked for the book when I was at B&N. I found it! It has a little too much swearing for my liking, but it was a great read.
I finally got my laptop case!! We went to Best Buy after B&N, and I found this adorable bag. I've been looking for one since my birthday, because getting one was a birthday present from Tony. It fits perfectly with my laptop and has a strap so I can put it on my shoulder.

"Oh I'm hot, and you're cold.

You go around, like you know;

Who I am, but you don't.

You've got me on my toes.

I'm slipping into the lava....

I'm burnin' up, burnin' up

for you baby."

I love the Jonas Brothers. They are amazing, and Burnin' Up is most definitely the Song of the Summer at the Brawley house. THEIR CD CAME OUT TODAY! Sydni actually bought it, but of course we all have the pleasure of listening. A Little Bit Longer is now on my laptop and the Mac, and we have listened to the whole thing twice. Me and my best friend have created a dance for Burnin' Up and Sarah is covering it at her show on Saturday. Nick's song about his diabetes is heartbreaking, and they cover The Beatles song, Hello Goodbye. Amazing, I tell you. Amazing.

There you have it. A few of my favorite things at the moment. Now, if you excuse me, I have to continue watching Michael Phelps destroy every one else in the Olympics. Speaking of favorite things, Michael Phelps definitely deserves a spot on that list. ;)
