Fifteen Movies

The rules: List fifteen of your most influential MOVIES without thinking too much about them.

1.) Lethal Weapon ( the first time I laid eyes on Mel...)
2.) Wizard of Oz ( isn't it everyones? )


3.) Psycho (the first horror movie I ever watched. I was in my sister's apartment and I was like 9 or 10 years old. Scared the fricken crap outta me)

4.) A Nightmare on Elm Street (the first horror movie that I ever saw after Psycho that started the obsession with horror movies)
5.) A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors (the movie Taryn is named after)
6.) Edward Sissorhands (the movie Jason & I went to on our first date... if you could call it a date)
7.) The Wraith (I'm not sure why I chose this movie. I just love it)
8.) E.T. (again... who wasn't? But I did see it in the theater with my stepmom, one of my favorite childhood memories!)
9.) Clan of the Cave Bear (got me hook on the Earth Children's series)
10.) Girl, Interrupted (I fell in love with Angelina Jolie in this movie)
11.) Grease (again.. if you aren't, you aren't human)
12.) Bambi (it's Bambi! I love Bambi.)

13.) Who's That Girl (yeah, that Madonna movie. She had a cougar. I named my cat, Murray, after it)
14.) Alive (thats the movie Jason, Missy & I watched at our house while I was in labor with Taryn)
15.) Oliver & Company (it was the first Disney movie we bought after Taryn was born. She called it "the kitty movie". Ironically years later she insisted on a kitten we acquired to be named Oliver. She didn't really understand why she wanted him named that so bad.... )

They bloomed... they really, really bloomed!

Kimber's Conspiracy Plan Ain't Gonna Work

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by
Kimber, the number 3000 and the color grape ape.


1. Are your ears dirty?
Yeah, so what? I have a wax problem and unless you are going to stick your tongue in my ear, why do you care?

2. Would you rather be stung by a scorpion or bit by a snake? (Don't say either...no one wants to be in pain, that's the point. Pick one.)
Either? Kimber, you dork. Can I be bit by Jake, our snake? He's bitten me before and it didn't really hurt.

3. Do loud noises make you snappish? (i.e. A loud restaurant, screaming child next to you, booming stereo from a neighbor's house?)
I'm still trying to figure out exaclty what "snappish" means. Unexpected loud fricken booms might scare the hell out of me, I guess.
Funny fact - when I was growing up loud noises would NOT wake my dad up. You could sing & dance and play the banjo in his room and he'd keep snoring away... but if you would whisper in his ear he would jump out of his skin!

4. PETA- thoughts on this org.?
I think they go overboard. Have you heard the news lately? They are pissed off that Obama killed a fly? What the hell else was he supposed to do?

5. Would you rather be the discoverer of the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot? (Imagination!)
Bigfoot, because apparently I'm related to him according to my husband. He's just jealous I have more hair than him. Who cares if I have hair on my toes? It keeps them warm. Jealousy, I tell ya... JEALOUSY!!!

6. When in a public toilet and it's not flushed: do you flush & use or move on to a clean one?
Move on. I make the demons go back in and flush, why would I flush a complete strangers crap?

7. Neighbors are having a noisy, party bonfire, what do you do?
Get pissed off that I wasn't fricken invited! How rude .

8. Do you play Monopoly? If so which version of the game?
I hate Monopoly. But I did buy the Disney version just because it was Disney.

9. Are you a remote hog?
Yeah right. Half the time in this house you can't find it.

10. Do you like the smell of paint?
Ha ha! I was painting Demon #2's room a couple years back... started with the primer. I finally had to get out of there because I was feeling light headed.. went out in the garage where the husband was and he busted out laughing at me - I was high as a kite!

It was comical after the fact.

11. My questions obviously suck this week. {I've had a bad week.}
So do you think Kimber should have...
~smoked pot before doing these questions? Nah... just paint Krissy's bedroom!
~drank liquid courage? if it's blackberry brandy, will you share?
~begged Berleen to do them (she's better at them anyhow)? what the hell is this crap? A conspiracy to get me to do the fricken questions every week? Think again woman!
~just piss off! I could have done better! Yeah, just piss off.

Senior Pics - she's all grown up!

My goddaughter stopped by today. I'm taking her senior pics for her this summer. It makes me feel older than dirt though... she was born the year after I graduated high school.... and here she is graduating next year!

We were brainstorming ideas for backgrounds, props and all that fun stuff. I am so excited to do this because she is the prettiest thing to ever walk this planet...

See? I wasn't making that crap up... she is fricken adorable. One of the pics she wants is her in an old rusty pickup (is she related to me or what? LOL)... I can't wait to do that one! Not to mention the fun I'll have with playing with the pictures later!!

I'm still thinking of different - unique - ideas for her pictures. (so is she) Anyone have any ideas?

600th post & Mel

This is my 600th post. Are we thrilled? I'm really not.....

Anyway. A friend of mine posted a picture of Mel in IC's picture of the day thread today... and one yesterday & today in the same type of thread over at VintageSledders.com.
He didn't know... or forgot... that I was "a Mel fan". I politely informed him that I am not just a fan - I am his future wife and that, yes, the husband knew about this.
How could he forgot about my love for Mel? Seriously? He isn't much a friend I guess to forget such a valuable piece of information about me. That would be like everyone forgetting Jodi & Elvis.

But I guess I've forgiven him because he did post this picture of Mel with a kitty. It is now my desktop background.

Oh... and sorry, I suppose if you aren't a member at IC yet you can't see that thread I was talking about. I guess you'll just have to join then.

I just dont' understand why you haven't yet.

Happy Monday & Happy 600th post to me.
