When you put something like this in my email inbox, do you think your website could....I don't know....WORK!!! That way maybe I would participate in your lovely little sale. However, if I cannot SELECT the item, chances are I will not BUY the item. Get me?
Welcome to New America, Day 3! I trust you are sleeping well.
Hmmmmm. First of all, I try to be nice on here - really I do - but people, what do I have to do to get you to watch Friday Night Lights??? Do I need to bake you cupcakes? It premiered on NBC last Friday night.
It just looks like a show about football....it's so much more. Coach and Tammi Taylor are the most realistic, loving couple on TV in forever...if ever. I want to be just like her when I grow up.
Please, Please watch this show. Better yet, go rent the first and second season to catch up and Tivo tomorrow's show. You will be hooked. I'm picky about my tv. I don't watch a lot of trash (ok, Rock of Love Bus and Confessions of a Teen Idol) but not the rest of that crap. I don't ask much. Do it for me...
There will be a pop quiz on Saturday....I'm watching you.
Happy New Year! Operation Organization started with a bang last week. Here's what I've accomplished so far:
*Re-organized pantry *Re-organized K's Creativity Closet *Cleaned out other closet in kitchen *Cleaned out/organized laundry room
* Pulled muscle in back.
(Although not on the list, sadly true. Today I can hardly lift my left leg to get in the passenger side of the car. *Sigh*)
I know it doesn't sound like much, but MUCH was accomplished.
Also, diet started last Monday. Have not cheated yet. Goal: to lose 25 pounds or get back to my wedding weight - same thing. Here's the mantra I've come up with to help me: "Every day you cheat, you are one day farther from your goal". So far, so good.
I'm working on a list of things I still have to clean out and/or organize. I will be posting them here as motivation. I also have a few reupholstering ideas up my sleeve that I will post befores/afters of. Ta! for now. I'm going to lie on the heating pad. Surely Lovey has some muscle relaxers floating around here somewhere.....
The part where he puts the antlers on the poor little dog, Max, is by far, my favorite. Here's the part right after:
A Charlie Brown Christmas The holidays aren't the holidays without Charlie Brown. My absolute favorite is Linus's soliloquy on Charlie Brown's "Doesn't anyone know what Christmas is all about!?!?" Here it is:
The Little Drummer Boy
It's been FOREVER since I've actually seen this, but this clip contains the best part. Even though Baa-Baa getting run over by the Roman chariot traumatized me:
Home for the Holidays
Technically, a Thanksgiving movie, but I'm counting it Christmas as well! This entire movie cracks me up. It starts Holly Hunter, the brilliant Robert Downey, Jr., Charles Durning, Ann Bancroft and so many other familiar faces. Who hasn't had the clueless holiday that made you wonder if you were adopted? (I know I'm not. "You act too much like your Daddy". Right, Mama?) :)
The Family Stone
I will watch this in December, July, September - every time it is on. I included the trailer since there isn't a particular scene that stands out - except the end where I cry my eyes out regardless. If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it for you.
Elf
Will Ferrell in tights pretty much says it all. I love this clip because Zooey Deschanel has a beautiful voice (and she reminds me of my neighbor, Ki).
This is my favorite clip. How could it not be?
Love, Actuallly
Wow, have watched this over and over and over. About fifteen stories are intertwined in this British movie. Each one is brilliant. You'd have to see the movie to understand this clip, but it is beautiful.
It's A Wonderful Life
THE CHRISTMAS MOVIE. Jimmy Stewart? Perfection. Donna Reed? Perfection. I can recite many scenes for you if you want - or not. Yeah, I'm that geeky. At the 5 1/2 minute mark of this clip is my favorite scene. Young George and Young Mary are in the soda shop when Mary says, "George Bailey, I'll love you 'til the day I die". Love it!
Then later, a grown up George and Mary. Look at the tension between them! Wow! Did I mention I love this movie?
Auntie Mame
The Rosalind Russell version, NOT the Lucille Ball musical version. OK, I can for real recite this entire movie for you. I cannot express how much I love Each and Every Scene of this Film. It is so ahead of its time. It's sarcastic, forward-thinking and just plain hilarious. That and I always wanted to recreate her blue living room.
Here's a later scene. So great!
There is one more thing I usually watch this time of year......work with me, people. Work with me. It's Eddie Izzard Dressed to Kill.
I normally watch this when I'm putting the Christmas tree up. Weird, yes. But, that's me.
So there's a little bit of my Christmas playlist. Get thee to a Blockbuster of Netflix IMMEDIATELY!
And in case I don't see you before, I'll take this chance to wish you a
