Tagged for movie quotes

So Mathman http://www.mathman6293.blogspot.com tagged me with a movie quotes meme.

1. Here are quotes from 15 of my favourite movies.
2. See if you can name the films from whence they were lifted. [“From whence.” Don’t you just love it?]
3. No googling or IMDBing; I'm trusting you on this.
4. I'll post the film names as they’re correctly identified


1. Did you ever think to marry just for fun?

2. I wouldn't pray just for a old man that's dead, 'cause he's all right. If I was to pray, I'd pray for folks that's alive and don't know which way to turn.

3. I’ve never been to the opera.

4. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so.

5. If I can't find a reindeer, I'll make one instead

6. Wow, you're fast. I'm glad I caught up to you. I waited 5 hours for you. Why is your coat so big? So, good news - I saw a dog today. Have you seen a dog? You probably have. How was school? Was it fun? Did you get a lot of homework? Huh? Do you have any friends? Do you have a best friend? Does he have a big coat, too?

7. Oh, wake up, Norma, you'd be killing yourself to an empty house. The audience left twenty years ago.

8. It's such a nice sounding word for what it means: a fortunate accident.

9. Halt. You treasonous tramp. Conspiring with the enemy at sea is MUTINY.

10. I've been on a diet every day since I was nineteen, which basically means I've been hungry for a decade.

11. How are they going to deliver a bowling alley here tonight?

12. Jean Louise. Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing

13. Dear Diary, my teen-angst bullshit now has a body count.

14. Listen, it's after 7:00. Don't waste good lip gloss.

15. I forgot the other boy. Oh, what's his name. Oh, well, God bless What's-his-name


Consider yourself tagged:

Dawnia
Tammy
Rachel

I didn't

get drunk because I have the cutest baby boy in the world and we took him to the park to play.


Stupid question of the day:

Neophite teacher to me:

Do you have any makeup because I forgot to put any on this morning?



Have you seen me? Never, no never wear makeup.

Good Day

It started out with Mr. Pissy McPissser Pants being pissy because he goes to bed too late.

Then there are cops every where at my school this morning (bomb threat/shootout rumor).

Then in 2nd block there is a crack whore for a substitute (I am not kidding you here).

Then the Citizenship teacher is teaching Watergate(!?!?!?!?!) and says that the identity of 'Deep Throat' (the Watergate informant) is still unknown because they all swore to keep it secret until he died. Mark Felt came out in 2005 and admitted that it was he and it was confirmed by Woodward and Bernstein. I thought he had died but cannot confirm that. But hey, I am not a Social Studies teacher. The citizenship teacher should not be a social studies teacher either.

Then the crack whore substitue decided that she would no longer follow the lesson plan for the day and showed a movie instead.

Then in another English class a kid told me "Bite me."

I am getting drunk tonight.

Dinner

At the last minute we went to dinner with Rachel and Marshall and their two very grown up children. We, as usual, had a great time. But I forgot to tell them at the end of the evening that I love them, so: LOVE YOU GUYS!

Clowns

Have I mentioned that I hate clowns? Let me rephrase that: I am terrified of clowns. They absolutely freak me out. Who is with me on this one? I have always hated them, but then I read Stephen King's "It" and never recovered.

98.9

First thing this morning and then later 99.1. I have no idea.

Mundane, but good

I am off this week, which means I get to spend lots of time with Max. We had his 1st birthday party on Sunday.



What a cutie. Max and I left his daddy to nap today and we went shopping. I ran into an old friend at Target. It was nice catching up. She had not seen Max since about August, so she was impressed with what a big boy he is. We then went to Greenlife Grocery to buy some soap. We are trying to do as little chemicals as possible, so we got some Dr. Bronner's (gotta love that stuff) peppermint and some Dr. Bronner's baby. I also got some bar patchouli. I love that smell. I was reminded how much the other night when Dawnia and Travis came over and I buried my nose in his neck when I hugged him. I used it tonight when I showered and I keep sniffing my arms. Yummy!
Dawnia and Travis at the cookout.


Tim is upstairs watching "The Godfather." Little insight into my psyche: Way, way, way too violent for me.

Max had a fever of 102.3 earlier, which of course freaked me out. I called the pediatrician and they said to give Tylenol and check it every four hours or so and if it got up to 103 t0 call the on call doctor. He has never had a fever that high. Anyway about an hour after the Tylenol it went down to 99.9, so hopefully he is okay. I am going to sleep in his room tonight, just in case.

Mommy and Max, March, 2007


Like I said, mundane, but good.

Friends

Tonight when we got home and I was putting Max to bed, he smelled like the various people who had held him throughout the evening: Tammy, Rachel, Marshall, Kevin, Travis, Dawnia, Sheila, his daddy. An overwhelming sense of love washed over me. (For those who did not hold him too: Charles and Matt)! Nothing like it guys. Love you all. Can't wait until next time!

Steam Cleaner

Did I tell you I got my steam cleaner? I made Tim use it last weekend. Our carpet was really gross. I hate to think about it. Now I wish we had hardwood. Never happy.

Book quiz

You're Watership Down!

by Richard Adams

Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're
actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their
assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they
build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd
be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.


Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

Well, at least I can laugh at myself. Ha! See?

Sorry

I am so sorry. I get scared and panicky. I worry about you so much. What you do is so important to our lives that when I think that you (or some outside force) is jeopardizing that I freak out. I said things I did not mean. I did not say things I should have. I love you. I miss you. Forgive me.

Shoulders getting broader by the minute

What is it about me that people tell me their deepest, darkest secrets? I am not complaining. Everybody needs to tell their secrets to someone, I just wonder why they pick me.

Finish this sentence

It's time that we get back to.............

I have broad shoulders

Everybody climb aboard. Room for every story. Advice given only if requested.

Three days

I get a three day weekend!
I get a three day weekend!
I get a three day weekend!

I am going to spend it with Max!
I am going to spend it with Max!
I am going to spend it with Max!

I really wish I could be a stay at home mom.
At least one of us gets to stay home, but still I wish it could be me.

What the hell happened to the SNOW?

As is typical in the South, the snow did not make it until morning. Tonight we might get some more although it is Friday and seems like a waste of a good weekend. The really exciting news is that we may get some Tuesday and of course may be out of school. We have Monday off, so with a snow day on Tuesday that would make a glorious 4 day weekend for me!!!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

To hell with all you nay sayers. There must be at least half and inch out there. If it survives until morning there will be no school! Ha! I love living in the south. Snow days are like the Sabbath, no commerce, no work, no nothing.

Steam Cleaner

By the way, Melva kept expecting Emmy Lou to roll out her new steam cleaner out on to stage, but it did not happen.

The Bigg's big night on the town

So Elroy and Melva Bigg went to a concert Friday night without Little Bigg. The seats were too small in the auditorium, but Melva did not have to shovel her food down like normal when Little Bigg is with them . Melva was tipsy after just half a glass of wine, despite her rising BMI, and both Elroy and Melva were panting slightly after the 4 block walk to the theater. At least Elroy's gas was of the silent and non-smelly ilk and Melva had an empty seat beside her. Elroy and Melva were glad to have gotten out, but Melva vowed not to leave Little again when Mini Small's husband, Tiny was not home. Mini and Tiny Small have a young son also, Itty Bitty Small, and while both cute boys, neither wanted to go to bed at a proper hour. So the Bigg's did not get home until, gulp, almost 11:15 at which time Melva immediately collapsed into bed and did not get up until morning.
