WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT MOVIES? WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE AND WHY?

I bet I don't even have to answer this one for my friends... Everyone knows my favorite movie is WIZARD OF OZ. It was the first movie I ever remember seeing and just falling in love with it, enough that I have managed to watch it every year when it came on TV. Now that cable and satellite show it so often I haven't made a point to watch it every time it is on TV. We own 3 copies of it 1 on vhs and 2 copies on dvd. I do however watch it at least once a year sometimes more.
I have many wizard of oz knick knacks. I even own Dept 56 wizard of oz scenes. My favorite characters are the Scarecrow and Tinman. I never really liked the lion. He seemed too wimpy for me.
Another one of my favorite movies is SOUND OF MUSIC. I love the music.
The one movie I enjoy is The King and I. But not for the reason most people think. One year it was on TV and my daughter and I watched it. It was the first time I had ever seen the whole movie, I had always only seen parts of the movie. Melissa watched the movie intently when the king died at the end Melissa told me that she was mad at me. I asked her why and in her little 3 yr old words said "You made me like a sad movie" I laughed at that because one thing you have to know about my daughter is that she will watch tv 24 hrs 7 days a week if she didnt have to work or sleep. I like many different types of movies. I like to go to a theatre to watch movies for the popcorn, I am not sure what it is about movie popcorn...YUMMY

Almost the end of January ....time for a new post

Well I have procrastinated enough. It is time to start keeping caught up on the blog.
So question of week is??????? WHAT DO YOU DREAM ABOUT BECOMING IN THE FUTURE?
Well this might have been a good question for me when I was younger? I had always wanted to work with children, I feel like this is because as a child I had to grow up fast. So what do I do now? I work everyday with beautiful children as a pre-k teacher. I love my job most of the time. Well let's rephrase that I love the children it is the adults that I like most of the time. I have the privilege of teaching the 4 & 5 year olds, getting them ready to attend kindergarten.
But I have worked with children from the age of 6 weeks to 12 year olds. So I guess the question can be "What do I dream about becoming now that I have accomplished my original plan?" Well I guess now I would like to be a grandmother, but I am willing to wait until my daughter is ready to have a child and be able to support a child. So if I can't be a grandma for awhile I would like to just be happier with what I have now.

Welcome to the New Year 2011

I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. We did here at the old homefront in Iowa.

We spend our days trying to deceide what we want to accomplish in the new year. I am no different than anyone else in that respect. Everyone wishes each other a happy New year. Having a happy new year depends on us as human being.
I just would like 2011 to be smoother one.
I dont usually make New Year resolutions mainly because I don't do them. Yes I have resolve to lose weight, exercise more, well................ I did lose some weight but gained it all back I am sure, I tried exercising more but.... I have thought alot about what would make me happy and I have come to the conclusion that not making resolutions and setting myself up for failure would be one thing.

We received lots of homemade goodies from friends and families of the children I teach during the week. Needless to say I am SUGARED OUT, since I don't usually eat alot of sweets. This has caused me not to feel well these last few days or so. I know that I can give up sugar (or at least most of it). So this goal will be easier for me to achieve. I am going to cut back on sugar intake.
One other thing that I have deceided to try for this year is to believe in myself and my talents more. (stop second guessing if what I am doing is good enough for others) Just be happy...


I have deceided that I want to read the scriptures on a regular basis and to study them and know the stories that are in them.
I got to go to the temple in Provo and do the temple work for my mother. I would like to attend the temple more. Try to balance my activities with what I have to do with what I want to do. For instance I have to work but that is not all I have to do. I need to do primary things but not all the time. Do more of what I like to do, scrapbooking, reading, listening to music, watch some movies I have but havent watched yet,spend time with my friends (yes I do have some of them).
I will resume answering personal history questions on the next post.
