I've decided that it is time to post a list on movies. Today, I'm going to list movies that are great, but will most likely cause you to reach for the kleenex box a few times. Here they are...movies that I love, but have also made me cry.
1. We Are Marshall.
2. P.S. I Love You
3. Remember the Titans
4. My Girl
5. Bridge to Terabithia (holy moly....I bawled like a baby while watching this one)
6. Steele Magnolias
7. The Bucket List
8. The Family Stone
What movies have made you cry lately?

Airplane Woes
Are your airplane woes worse than mine?
1. The day after I was dumped by my boyfriend, I was stuck on an airplane next to a crazy lady for about 4 hours. I then missed my connecting flight, lost my luggage and had to stay in a hotel. I then dropped my necklace in the toilet and used soap that burned the skin on my face. I also fell off of a bus which left a nasty bruise for weeks to come.
2. I was stuck on the Atlanta runway for 6 hours with no food.
3. I've been stuck on runways because the airplane ran out of water.
4. My luggage was lost on my trip to Europe..luckily it was retrieved later.
5. I went through a streak where my luggage and I were always searched. Crying college students must seem suspicious?

So That's What That Means?!
This is a blog about words and phrases that I have messed up as a child and as an adult. We've all done it...I just happen to be advertising my naivete (or deafness in some cases) on my blog.
1. The other day I was talking to my fiancee' and I said "A.K.A.-AS known as." He laughed at me...apparently, I've lived 26 years without knowing that A.K.A. really stands for "also known as."
2. I used to love the song Wonderwall by Oasis. Especially, when the band sang "Anna Ferah, You're my wonderwall." I think I was about 22 before I figured out that they were really saying "and after all, you're my wonderwall."
3. When I was a child, my dad was going on a business trip to CA. I wanted to go with him and begged him to take me along. He replied "There's going to be lots of vendors for adults there. I don't know if they allow children at those conventions." I said, "Well, dad, you can go on the floors with the adult vending machines and I'll stay in the hotel." He thought that was pretty funny.
4. My friend's husband happened to be explaining car parts to his wife and I one day. I was really confused and asked "What does the torkenburger do?" They both said "The what?" I replied, "You know...the torkenburger...I don't get it." They immediately started laughing at me and explained that it was called a torque converter.

Ways to Feel Safe After Spying a Cockroach in Your Home (What Works and What Doesn't).
What doesn't work:
1. Run to the other room and scream. (this is the first technique that I chose to use)
2. Call your significant other and tell them that they need to call the exterminator immediately.
3. Leave the house for couple hours and hope that they magically disappear.
4. Blame the south for your anguish because it has so many wretchedly huge bugs.
What does work:
1. Buy roach killer and fervently spray your entire house inside and out.
2. Carry the roach killer with you everywhere.
3. Put the roach killer spray next to your bed while your sleeping. (Yes, I actually did that)
4. Don't listen to your fiancee' when he tells you the roach killer won't work.
5. Pretend that roaches do not exist.

Can We Go Back to the 1800's?
Have you ever wondered why some things are in style right now, where as a few hundred years ago the complete opposite was the latest trend? Here is a list of things I wish would be cool again.
1. White, PALE, skin. I've been tanning for my wedding. Nobody can even tell. Yet, I still tan away so I don't have that dreaded pale look in all of my pictures.
2. Chubbiness. Again, life would be so much easier if it were considered beautiful to be chubby.
3. Bonnets. Okay, I'm kidding on this one. I am so glad I do NOT have to wear a bonnet.
Here are a list of styles that I am glad we do not incorporate in this day and age.
1. Men wearing tight, tight pants or skirts.
2. Bonnets.
3. Girdles.

Zubaz
Apparently no one in the South knows what Zubaz are. I'm here to explain zubaz to all those unfortunate enough to live life without the knowledge of this horrible fad.
According to Wikipedia,
1. Zubaz were a popular type of weightlifting pant worn in the early 90's.
2. The were popular for many reasons. Maybe because they came with an elastic waist band that allowed for greater "flexibility and movement" AND crazy colored zebra prints. (This pattern must have allowed you to look cool despite the fact you were wearing elastic banded pants?)
3. The pants were an "in your face type of clothing."
4. The Arena football league had Zubaz design some of their uniform pants.
5. Zubaz was a MN based company that sold "$100 million dollars in 1991 alone."
Now, for the real questions about Zubaz:
1. Why would anyone want to wear them? The answer to this is elusive to me.
2. Why are people STILL wearing them? Again, I have no answer for this question.
3. Where do people still get Zubaz? I do have an answer for this one! Visit
http://www.zubaz.com
4. How do we get people to STOP wearing Zubaz? If you have the answer to this question, please post it!

I Need the Perfect....
So here is a list of items that I want to be perfected in my life. So here goes...maybe you can give me some suggestions.
I Need the Perfect:
1. Hair Tie. I feel like they don't make hair ties like they used to. I've tried the Goody StayPut Hair tyes...but I don't like the rubbery feeling. I like the feel of regular stretchy ones, but they seem to be stretched to their max after only wearing them once.
2. Mascara. I want mascara that makes my lashes look longer with NO clumps. I also need it to be waterproof. I feel like my mascara always ends up in a dark ring under my eyes by the end of the day. Not pretty.
3. Blow dryer. I like my hair dryers to dry my hair lickety-split. I would also like it if they made hairdryers with a cool option that actually worked.
4. Pair of jeans. The kind that don't stretch out after wearing them once, but don't look as though they are painted on either.
5. Shampoo and Conditioner. I've tried everything...I don't feel like my hair looks as healthy as it did when I was a teen. Does that just mean I'm getting old?
6. Pair of scrubs. I'm required to wear white scrubs for school. I have one pair that have flared legs, but if I wear them at the right place on my hips, they turn into instant floods. Not pretty.
