The next best thing to being clever is being able to quote some one who is. - Mary Pettibone Poole

Some of my favorite book or movie quotes:

"Fiction-a true story of what never happened."

"No mere human can stand in a fire and not be consumed."

"We all have our reasons for loving things the way we do..."

"Get the stink knocked off ya."

"Boy, she had a face on her like a bucket of worms."

"Fortune smiles at some and laughs at others."

"Life, it makes sense when viewed backwards. Too bad we have to live it forward."

"I didn't go thru 3rd grade for nothing, worse 9 years of my life."

"If there's a God, he plays favorites and I'm not one of them."

"Enough binky and pigtails for the day."

"I've got trophies to win, I've got medals to claim, I've got titles to keep, And miles to go before I sleep."

"How do I know where I'm going until I know where I came from?"

"Who you set out to be is not always who you become."

"I think diamonds posess magical qualities."

A Mother's Influence

There is little I like more than a good, old fashioned, romantic "chick flick". And I think it's rubbing off on my DS15. Last night, he wrote his very first song. To the tune of "House of the Rising Sun", he sang, "There is a girl named Katie, they call her RoseBud...." It is chock full of puppy love and humor, dare I say this Katie is one very lucky girl? Maybe I can upload him singing it. It's adorable.

Speed

The cops had someone pulled over this morning as I was leaving the driveway. I live in a school zone and dang, we wish these people would slow down. 25 mph folks! Set your cruise control.

The libray was closed. I dropped the books in the after hours box. Am trying to keep track of the number of books I read this year. 20 days it took me to finish my first book of the year, The Reading Group by Elizabeth Noble. It was good, all the fluff and girly stuff I enjoy but it just seemed to take the longest time to read. I've got to speed it up, can't possibly read 300 books by year's end at this rate. The next book I opened, Cocktails for Three by Madeline Wickham, felt familiar, omg, have already read this one. That's what I get for picking books by their covers. I so like a pretty cover and this one had yummy cocktails on the front. So am going to try to read Backstage with Julia: My Years with Julia Child by Nancy Verde Barr. It has a pretty Tiffany blue striped cover.

Breakfast.

McDonalds in Brighton: drive thru. One plain English Muffin toasted with Grape Jam and a medium Orange Drink. Delicious.
