As my family tries not to be on the computer on Sunday, I thought I had better do Day # 2 and #3 today.
Day #2 Favorite Movie.
Hmmmm. I'm actually not much of a movie fan, I always prefer to read books. But I do enjoy 'Wizard of Oz'! ;D
I've always liked this movie, since I was little. Not sure why I like it so much though.... ;)For those readers who know me and my family well, you are already acquainted with what we call "movie speak". For those who don't know us so well.... I learn best by hearing things, and many of my siblings are the same way. This trait can be really good, but it also means that we can see a movie once and be able to say quote after quote from it! :D Emily, dad and I once had a whole conversation while on the way to town, saying lines from different movies! It was hilarious.
Mom once challenged us to see how long we could go without saying a single movie line. I'm sorry to say we got about 10 seconds out, when a certain sibling mischievously quoted: "It's not that it shouldn't be done; it can't be done!" (Quote from 'National treasure). If I remember correctly, that got us all going like a flock of seagulls.... It's in the genes, what can I say? ;D
Day #3 Favorite book. Okay, I draw the line at answering this one! I have far too many favorites. I am a huge bookworm who thinks it terribly cruel of the public library to make 25 the maximum number of books you can check out. I will admit that I have ripped three heavy duty book bags from too many books (one was made of duckcloth too!), and for my birthday, my family gave my one of those plastic crates on wheels that you would find at 'Staples'! I love rolling that thing around in the library!
Alas, for our poor librarians.... They see us coming and they immediately go and get our stacks of books that we have put on hold. When new librarians come, they are told by the more experienced librarians that if anyone with the last name of M**** (Our last name), comes to the desk, to give them ALL of the books that belong to that family. They watch incredulously as we dump our books into the bin and fill it completely.... Very patiently check out the huge stacks that we pile on their desk to check out.... And still love being our librarians! Someone should give them a medal or something.... ;)

Hey, where's days #4, #5, #6 and #7? Seriously, if I didn't know you better, I'd say you were falling down on the job, Caity ;)
I love going to the library and checking on the book rack, only to find the entire top shelf is for your family :D Then, if you are so unfortunate as to be by yourself, trying to carry two or three bags full of books out to the car is a test of endurance (but of course you manage it, knowing that every librarian is watching, "is she going to make it...").
I'll never figure out why the Wizard of Oz is one of your favorite movies ;)
Oh I'm sure I only like the Wizard of Oz to drive you nuts. ;D But then you like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. [shudder]. So we're even. ;)

I laughed so hard at "It's not that it shouldn't be done; it can't be done!" :D :D
The Wizard of Oz is one of mine and my mom's favorites too! I still get choked up at some scenes.
Now i'm a little suspicious when I see books that I want and they're all checked out! :P :LoL:
[ahem]What ever makes you think that I would check out all your books!? ;D LOL.
