What the H ---- ?

Whether attributable to my passion for Seuss, or to all those years of dictionary reading as a bored high-schooler, either way, alliterative opportunities are never lost on me.

Georgie, the darling host of Decisionally Challenged, posted her G-take on this letter-driven, ten-favorite things meme, and graciously bestowed me with a non-X or Z alphabetical assignment.

So without further ado, today's episode is presented by the letter H and the number 10:

HODAD'S
Featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, when we realized we'd be close enough to potentially catch a burger (not a wave, we're hodads after all) during our holiday trip, this lauded local joint went on our list. Wait = worth it. Service = awesome. Burgers = best I have EVER tasted. No joke.
HAND, HAND, FINGERS, THUMB by Al Perkins
Dum ditty dum ditty dum dum dum.

HALLMARK (and her sisters)
Greeting cards are my weakness. Buy 'em even when no occasion is necessarily pending.

HGTV
My favorite shows are the ones wherein the "before" version makes me feel less inadequate in the housekeeping department.

HONDA ODYSSEY

Dragged kicking and screaming minivan-ward, who knew I'd not only get used to our new Lagemobile, but actually like it? (Of course the fact that the passenger side sliding door is unusable is another story...)

HOLDING HANDS

At SeaWorld, I overheard a mom yelling to her 4-ish year-old "If you don't stay beside me, I'll make you hold my hand like a baby." Hmmm. Call me a baby if you will, but I like holding hands with my kids...and I trust, they with me. Naturally, I also like doing so with...

HUSBAND
He rocks. (In every sense of the word.)

HOT SHOWERS
When I was pregnant with Darren and Sarah, giving up the caffeine, wine and sushi wasn't all that horrific. The doctor-dictated cooling of my preferred skin-scalding showers was amongst the most challenging sacrifices. (worth it, of course)

HAS-BEENS
Only one episode has aired, and already I'm hooked on VH1's Confessions of a Teen Idol.

HOOTENANNY

Both the word (used in conversation) and the music by The Replacements. (The diminutive "hoot" also charms me.)
Are you game? Think you can come up with ten favorite things beginning with a letter of the alphabet you are arbitrarily assigned? Leave a comment sharing your favorite "H" thing, and I'll post a comment on your latest blog entry with your letter du jour!

Have a Happy One!

PS - Housework, humidity and hemorrhoids did not make the cut...
