Tonight, I feel the need to share two top fives. I had a poopy day and I need something kinda cheerful today.
Marti's Top Five Favorite Old TV Shows
1. I Love Lucy- I mean...FOR REAL that is some good TV and there's NO sex, NO drugs, NO immorality...it's just good clean fun!
2. Dick Van Dyke- Dick Van Dyke is one of the all time best comedians of all times. Anything he is in...is going to be great.
3. Mary Tyler Moore- I love this show. I did some reading about it and there is a lot of stuff saying that the MTM show is the show that set off a lot of things on TV that have escalated to the crap we see now. After watching it...I can understand that point of view....BUT after shows I see today, it's one of the best! Mary Tyler Moore as an actress and person is one of my favorites as well. She is classic, timeless beauty and she's a type 1 diabetic. That is obviously near and dear to my heart.
4. Golden Girls- Okay so I've gone from good ole wholesome family values shows to this. LOL. I LOVE the four dirty old women! This show is amazing and I LOVE it! I love the horrible sets, music and amazing 80's bling and gaudy dresses with shoulder pads. Such a great show!
5. Full House- What a great show! Again, it is insanely cheesy and so unrealistic...but it's just good TV. I grew up on this so it's a classic and I can watch it over and over!
Okay, now for my second Top Five. Marti's Top 5 Things I Hate About What I Love:
1. I LOVE fall, but I hate that it gets early so dark. I want to go outside and enjoy the amazing weather and walk and exercise, but it's DARK!
2. I LOVE fall, but I hate that it stays dark so late in the morning! It is SO hard to get up in the morning when it's still dark and I know it will be dark when I get home.
3. I LOVE living in Nixa. It's, to me, the perfect place to live. It's a small close knit community with quick access to Branson and Springfield. I HATE that there is no direct access to highways. You either take 14 or CC to Ozark and Highway 65 (hilly curvy two lane roads) or you take 160/Campbell in to Springfield. If you have ever driven that road...you know the traffic is a nightmare. I miss living in Ozark when I literally was a stones throw from 65 and just a few miles beyond that to 60.
4. Again, I LOVE fall, but I hate fall allergies! Mine are worse in fall than any time of year.
5. I love my friends, but I hate that so many of them live so stinkin' far away!!!

Top 5 + a few
Today I feel the need to list my favorite Top 5 Springfield only eating establishments. If I ever leave this area, I would miss these places...and probably lose weight!
1. Pineapple Whip- Heaven on a cone for $2 from Memorial Day to Labor Day every year! I actually prefer the grape or strawberry kiwi over the pineapple.
2. The Traveling Taco- The BEST taco ever created...and it travels in a trailer but usually camps out on the corner of Fremont and Sunshine by Kaleidascope. Perfectly seasoned chicken breast with homemade spicy salsa, creamy sour cream, lettuce and tons of perfectly shredded white cheese. *salivate*
3. Simply Yo Frozen Yogurt- If you think you love Orange Leaf, it's simply because you haven't had Simply Yo! It's fresh and it's REAL, not powdered like Orange Leaf. Cherry Limeade is my personal favorite, and I will be sad when they take it away (it's their summer flavor).
4. Mexican Villa- There ain't nothin' Mexican about it! (haha). I think it should be named Springfield Villa. Give me a burrito enchilada style with a side of queso dip and chips. *DROOL*
5. Springfield Style Cashew Chicken- You know I know that Leong's created it, but it's not my favorite. I prefer either Hong Kong Inn (the Ozark location is the best) or Shanghai Inn in Nixa. Hong Kong Inn has the best crab rang goon but can sometimes be dry on the chicken. Yen Ching in Ozark doesn't have the best cashew chicken, but they do have hte best chicken friend rice and they are the ONLY place where I like the egg rolls. Springfield is the mecca of Chinese food places!
HEre are a few runner ups: Finnegan's Wake (fish & chips!), Maria's (fried tacos!), La Fiesta (the one in Ozark is the best), Rosie Jo's (give me some fried pickles please!), Cedars (okay this should probably be in the top 5 but I ran out)- I LOVE LOVE LOVE Cedars. It's the only place where you can get true home cooked Southern food, a good atmosphere (especially now that Springfield is smoke free) and only spend $5!, Today's Donuts in Nixa- I can never eat a Krispy Kreme without thinking of these! SO much like the good ole Houchins in Sikeston before Mr. Bob retired.
If anyone wonders why I have a weight problem, this probably just answered your question!
