Favorite Disney movie?

ReplyDeleteFlorida
peanuts. Big handfuls of them. And what's funny is Madalyn despises them. My fav ice cream is Tin Roof. And it has chocolate covered peanuts in it. And so she eats my ice cream. And I find little piles of peanuts around the house. Lovely.
John Deere Mom will cringe...but it's just one. I even blogged about it - my Brighton backpack purse. I love it. And when it dies, I'll mourn.
Met Michael in a bar. And CindySue was my college room mate at UGA.
I subscribe to one. It's called Bookmarks - and it has great reviews of books I would have never heard of. We get several for homeschooling - but those are more for Katie.
neither. I like things plain.
Ooo. Why did I ask this. It's sooo hard to pick one. Animated I think I would choose Mulan. Non-animated Enchanted. Pixar: Toy Story.
Pen if it's gel ink. I don't like ball point pens. If that's my only option, I'd like a very sharp pencil.
Another why did I pick a difficult one?! I really liked my intro to Philosophy class. And a Russian History Class. Or my Medieval History class where I gave an oral presentation on the medieval views on sex. Or I suppose my intro to Anthropology class that made me change my major. Ack...there's too many to pick...
My birthday is April 21st, 1977.
ReplyDeleteI was born in Texas.
Plain
Maybe three purses, but lots of tote bags and backpacks.
I met my husband in 6th grade.
I don't subscribe to any magazines right now, but in the past I have gotten National Geographic and Scientific American and People.
ketchup
Shrek? Was that Disney?
pens with clickers
Most interesting class in college was medical terminology or a Texas history class...or maybe the linguistics class...or maybe the 17th century british literature class...there were so many fascinating classes!!
Happy Birthday, Kat!!! I had no idea it was today. Did you do anything special to celebrate?

About 5, I think. But I only usually use one - a backpack purse. I like to have my hands free.

Thanks for all the birthday greetings!
ReplyDeleteRhea--We are sort of celebrating today by going snorkeling. Then when we get home I want to go see Mama Mia. And Shrek is soooo not Disney :-) But I love how they make fun of Disney. I didn't know you met your husband in 6th grade! How cool.
IM--If you don't use a purse - how do you carry around your stuff? A backpack? No stuff?
Shannon--Thanks so much for the birthday greetings! I loved my geology classes in college. In fact next year for science with Katie we are going to do geology with DVDs from The Teaching Company.
Karen--We have much in common! I need my hands free too - hence the back pack purse. And my shoulders will never keep a purse up. I can't believe my mind blanked on Pirates being a Disney movie...
Yertle-I'll be coming by to check it out...
Tressa--So, you collect purses? :-) And that college course sounds interesting! Were you a Poly Sci major?
Debbie--I know...there are too many Disney movies to pick. I was thinking animated when I wrote the question. And then when I went to answer I thought of all the other possibilites.
Gwyneth--I haven't seen Ratatouille. It's in my queue - but keeps getting pushed to the bottom as we are watching more movies. But I need to move it to the top!
Um...cough-cough...ahem...
ReplyDeleteLet's remind everyone who got their birthday wishes in 12 minutes early. Just sayin'.

Sleeping Beauty hands down. Always has been and always will be!
Pen.
In high school, I loved my 20th Century Music Class. The teacher was way cool and my final project was a history of the band Pink Floyd. It was awesome!
Oops--forgot one--always a pen. I despise pencils. They are boring. And ordinary. And have to be sharpened. What's fun about that?
ReplyDeleteHappy Bday!!!! Hope it's a super terrific day in paradise for you :-D
ReplyDeleteI'm a Dec. baby. And I'm, cough cough, older than most of your visitors...

ReplyDeleteAngie--What is Down East? And what started your love affair with Maine?
Susan--I'm the oldest so far - of those who said years. How was Ben Stein as a teacher? I loved that game show he did "Win Ben Stein's money." Wasn't Jimmy Kimmel his sidekick?
Evelyn--Thanks! And it's nice to know that I am not the only adult who likes things plain...
Joye--You don't have to have kids to see Disney Movies! I remember going with Cindy to see Lion King in the theatre way before kids. And I think Little Mermaid came out when we were in college. I had poo-pooed it...thinking that she gave up everything for a man...but I went and loved it...
YAY! It's Kat's big day! Happy birthday to you!

Idaho---I never did get out of this place :)!
Peanuts somehow make everything seem slightly healthy....
Only one! I always buy one fabulous one, then wear it out before I buy another. I hate the idea of transferring all my stuff!
Met (ex-)spouse at college---lived across the street. Met my best friend when we were on dance team together.
Just about ever decorating and design mag. out there---Cottage LIving is my current fave. (they're all for my business!), and also Family Fun. Someone got me a gift subscription to US Weekly that I thought was dumb---and now I actually read it (or at least look at the pictures :)!) I'll read anything!
I like stuff plain. No ketchup and mustard only in dressings and marinades!
Pen--blue ink.
Humanities---I loved learning about the history of the world! Also, my clogging class!
I don't carry anything, just my cell which fits in my pocket. I don't wear makeup and I usually don't brush my hair, so I don't need to carry anything. Plus, I use only cash and thatfits in my pocket also. Happy Birthday!!
