Ok, so big dreams of blog world. Huge, wonderful weekend last weekend. Cannot wait to share and then: Sickness sets in. I came home from a blessed weekend, a weekend that is truly blogworthy and then I got sick. All of the family has had what I would term a mild cold. Frustrating for them, but manageable. I thought mine, would naturally follow the pattern. Not so much. This feels like a black plague hovering over me. So, tonight as I am snuggled in my bed, with my sweet dogs and my heated blanket, the only thoughts I can form are pretty mindless. I watched Miss America tonight while flipping back to Sleepless In Seattle during commercials, because if seeing SIS one time is nice, seeing it 3,456,722 times is even better.
Let me explain, I have been watching pageants my whole life. Now, I will say, much of that time was for the comic relief because the cheese dripped so well. Remember the state costumes? Priceless. Then a few years ago, the pageants became so PC and professionally done, that much of the joy was removed, yet I still watch. It is a compulsion.
Let me further say that I grew up in and around people in Hollywood and the movie and TV biz. (Another post for another time) What is pertinent to this post is that I love movies of all kinds (except gross). If I love a movie, I can watch it over and over again, and if I catch it on TV, I can usually get drawn in no matter the point at which I find it. So, here are some of my faves: Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, Pretty Woman, Die Hard and Die Harder, The Patriot, Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhoood, Return to Me, Miss Congeniality, The Fugitive, Air Force One and The Wedding Singer. This is just a start. So, do you do that too, and if so, what are some of your favorites? Or, are you a watch and move on person?

Oh, and remember Love Affair..........that was a good one too! I remember you telling me about it when I was going on about An Affair To Remember. They're both great movies. Whenever I catch one of them on tv I have to watch it. "Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories.........." :)
When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, White Christmas, Holiday Inn, Ever After, Bringing Up Baby, Grease, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer...I'm sure there are more. :)
