10 Favorite Movies to Quote

Ooooh, this one is hard, too. TV shows? Piece of cake. Songs? Easy enough.

1. Ferris Bueller's Day Off--"Bueller...Bueller."
2. The Princess Bride--"Hello. My name is Indigo Montoya. You kill my father. Prepare to die." and "As you wish."
3. Gone With the Wind--"Tomorrow is another day," "As God as my witness," "Frankly, my dear..."
4. Forrest Gump--"I was running," "Please, God, make me a bird so I can fly far. Far, far away."
5. Dirty Dancing--"Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
6. Airplane!--"Shirley..."
7. Lord of the Rings--"My precious."
8. Star Wars--"Luuke..."
9. The most recent movie I've seen, whatever that happens to be, since it's most fresh in my mind.
10. That's it...I got nothin' for #10. I guess I'm just so original that I come up with all new material. Or something. Or, if you know of a movie I inadvertently quote, feel free to tell me.

Airplane! Of course! There are SO many funny quotes from that movie!

This one was hard for me, too.

Yeah, I think it was hard because I tried to think of things that I actually use in conversation. You know, just weave in there. There are tons of good quotes, some of which I've written down to remember. I just don't use them. Next week's should be good, too. And did you see, Bubba's Sis, that we're listed as Players (not Playas) on the 10 on Tuesday site? We're cool.

I'm with Bubba's Sis regarding Airplane. I always use the "Don't call me 'Shirley'" line!

I can't believe I forgot "don't call me Shirley" on my list. Classic. I had a similarly difficult time coming up with quotes I use, but in looking at others' lists I was reminded of so many others!

It's too bad that the AFI top 100 movies show was on last night. We could all have remembered more quotes from that.

For instance:

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!" 'Network'

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
