smile like you mean it. :)

hi hi hi!! that's become my trademark greeting, apparently. so, happy monday!! more like manic monday...heh heh. here are my favorite things at the moment:
* music: modest mouse "the view", the killers "smile like you mean it" and, well, pretty much every other song on the cd
* book: read "about a boy", which was really good...not really different from the movie, though, so not a shocker or anything. umm...starting "hey nostradamus" by douglas coupland...we'll see how that one turns out.
* movie: went to see 'finding neverland', it was pretty good...made me cry! my other most favorite recent movie is 'the notebook'...that one really made me cry!! sniff sniff.
* drink at starbucks: zebra mocha!! it's really yummy, and i got kate completely addicted to it which is great....ha ha.
ok, so, that's pretty much it. not much else to have a favorite of of the moment. shelley told me the other day that ben calls the seabus "rachael's boat". i thought that was pretty funny, especially since i'm constantly taking the seabus from home to the north shore and everything. he's soooo cute! he calls me...'richoo'....i know i'm going to regret that. everyone's calling me that now, i really can't understand why. people just need any excuse to bug me to death! he's very impressed with some of my friends, mostly because of their animals. he's very impressed with "big joel" who has a "biiiig buuuunny!" and kate with her "big dog! biiiig dog!" at the pet store, and sarah's "hammp-ser". highly entertaining kid. :)
