I LOVE A GOOD MOVIE

My friend Bonnie had a tribute to her five fav's, and I thought it might be fun to see what everyone else's top 5 favorite movies are. Here are mine:

1. Pride and Prejudice (the A&E six video or two DVD version - about 5 hours and pretty much Jane Austen word for word, with Colin Firth, thank-you-very-much).

2. Sabrina, the "new" one with Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond (the old one with Audrey Hepburn is also classic, as well as everything else she has been in).

3. French Kiss, with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline. Or maybe I should have put this second. I don't know why, but I have always loved it.

4. Same thing with Only You, Robert Downey Jr. and Marisa Tomei. Always loved it.

5. So I Married an Axe Murderer. An "original" Mike Myers. Enough said.

And a few that deserve a shout out:

Under the Tuscan Sun, Diane Lane and Sandra Oh.
Anything Audrey Hepburn.
Anything Harry Potter.

OK, I HAD to add this...

I asked Mark if he could tell me what my five favorite movies are. He said, "Friends disc one, Friends disc two, Friends disc three..." He bought me the series two Christmases ago, and that theme song resonates from our house almost daily (I usually listen/watch while I clean). So I guess that's his way of saying, "Yes, I am sick of Friends..." Just for the record, though, he was able to tell me my 5 favorite movies with very little prompting.

Quotable Quotes

The other day Boston and I were at the church for a little singing play group. He must have been getting sick of it, because half way into it, he runs across the room, drags over the diaper bag, hands me the strap, and says, "Come on, mom. Let's get outta here!"

Today I go to get in my car and open the door for Boston to climb in. He runs over to Mark's car and says, "No, mommy! I wanna my daddy's car!"

After asking Boston if he wants a cheeseburger... "No! I not cheeseburger! I nuggets!" We go through this everyday, as he usually wants nuggets or a hot dog, no matter what I'm offering.

Getting Boston ready for bed... Me: "Boston, do you want to wear your Mickey Mouse pants?" Boston: (squealing) "Yes! Hot Dog, Hot Pants!"

Today Mark is eating a grapefruit, and Boston (thinking it's an orange) wants some. Mark puts a small piece into Boston's open mouth... Boston looks at Mark with a look of deepest digust, spits it out, does a full-body shudder, and says, "Ucky, be-be! Ucky, be-be!"

The other day Boston tells Nikki, "Mama, I wanna nugget!" He later tells me, "Mama! Mama! I wanna coke!" Lovely.

Me: Boston, what does a doggie say? Boston: Arf, arf, Pluto!

The other day, Boston was watching Mickey Mouse (as always) and I told him we were going bye-bye. He turns to the TV and says, "OK, bye-bye, see ya, Dedo (Pluto), Daisy, Mmmm Mouse!" This kid is so dang cute!

This afternoon I asked Boston if he wanted some fruit snacks. He got a huge grin on his face, said, "Yeah!", followed me to the kitchen, and when I handed him the pack, he exclaimed, "Ooooooh, deg-nuh (thank you)!" Too cute.

Mark talking about how much he has been taking care of Boston (and thus changing diapers) the past month... "I'm getting so good! I changed a really stinky one the other day, and I only gagged once! I was proud of myself!"

Mark singing to Boston, who is fussy with gas, "I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt, and send it down the drain!"
