Final Answer - Movie MeMe

You guys did awesome and like I said - looks like Netter watches almost as many movies as me!

Okay, I respect your position. I don't understand it, but I respect it. A lot of famous people hated publicity: Albert Schweitzer. Franco... Albert Schweitzer. Electric Horseman
That thing had better fly, or you can kiss your chances of losing your virginity goodbye. October Sky/Netter
I shoulda remembered the rocks. Braveheart/Netter
And then one time I ate some rotten berries. Man, there were some strong gases seepin' outta my butt that day! Shrek/Netter
I taught some of the stupidest children God ever put on the face of this earth and all of them could read well enough to find a name on a tombstone. Driving Miss Daisy/Netter
Hey, we're flexible. Pearl Harbor didn't work out so we got you with tape decks.Die Hard/Netter
Just because you own half the town doesn't mean that you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it! Wizard of Oz/Netter
I always believed that fear belonged to other people. Weaker people. It never touched me. And then it did. And when it touches you, you know... that it's been there all along. Waiting beneath the surfaces of everything you loved. The Brave One
If god did not exist it would be necessary to invent him. Easy Rider, although my best friend of forever, Vicki pointed out that this is actually a quote from Voltaire - she always was smarter than me!
That's the one good thing about Paris: there's a lot of girls willing to take their clothes off. Titanic/Netter

Saturday & Sunday

2008-03-31T07:13:00.002-04:00

Busy, Busy... I spent most of the weekend clearing clutter from the computer room which is to become my craft room exclusively.

I did take time out to survey the two "spare" rooms we have since my 21 yr old DD is moving back home for the summer. Not sure where we'll put her "stuff" but I'm sure we'll figure it out.

We watched No Country for Old Men - lots of violence and a very bad man. From and acting, directing perspective, it was a good movie.

Watched Atonement on Sunday - loved it and believe it or not, DH like it as well.

Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
Post them on your blog for everyone to guess.
Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
No cheating!

Here goes (Warning - some of these are pretty hard):

2008-03-14T07:28:00.000-04:00

The title got your attention didn't it? I thought this was hilarious!

3.13.2008

2008-03-13T07:15:00.004-04:00

My knitting group had a yarn & etc swap last night. I "unloaded" quite a bit of yarn, needles and all of the crochet books that were taking up space. I picked up some cotton yarn, some mohair and only a magazine!

(This picture is from last year's yarn swap because I forgot to take a picture last night)

3.12.2008

2008-03-13T07:12:00.000-04:00

not sure what it is now but it melted before he could finish

DH doesn't do snowmen he does this...

2008-03-10T07:35:00.005-04:00

DH started a snow lion yesterday and hopes to complete it today before it starts to melt - you can see that it is starting to be recognizable in the third picture - I'll post updates when he's done.

Started this yesterday

2008-03-09T14:24:00.002-04:00

Lillian Tank Top from Delicious Stitches http://deliciousstitches.blogspot.com/2007/05/lillian-tank-top.html

Enough already!

2008-03-08T10:26:00.000-05:00

snow depth as of 10:30 am - looks like about 6 inches and we are getting a bit of a break in the action - expecting another 4 to 8 inches by midnight

So this looks like fun....

2008-03-07T08:26:00.002-05:00

100% chance of snow for the next two days and what looks like (if I added correctly) 8 to 16 inches of snow - looks like I won't be going out to see 10,000 BC tomorrow!

So much for yesterdays list

2008-03-06T09:29:00.006-05:00

This was yesterday's list:

Go to work
Go home
Feed animals
Tacos
Watch movie (Rendition)
Go to bed

This is what actually happened:

Go to work
Go home
Feed animals
Gym - DH got off work early and wanted to go to gym (togetherness)
- I am SO sore -
Tacos
Fall asleep on couch at 0800 (so I didn't get to watch the movie)
Get up off the couch at 0930 and go to bed

Wednesday's list

2008-03-05T13:27:00.002-05:00

Go to work
Go home
Feed animals
Tacos
Watch movie (Rendition)
Go to bed

Wednesday may not be very exciting but it is predictable. But Thursday is coming and you know what that means - Lost!

DH and I were talking the other day and he said "have you noticed now that football season is over, how our lives run from Thursday to Wednesday?" I said "what do you mean?" "Well", says he, "we watch Lost on Thursday and then we can't wait for the week to be over so we can watch it again".

He's right - it's a good show
