10. Classic Movies: Because who doesn't fall in love with the dreamy Bing Crosby or Cary Grant? And who doesn't want to re-live the elegance? Dare I mention that men were brought up with more manners than today? What lady doesn't appreciate a guy with good manners?! I always thought I was born in the wrong time period... There's almost too much I can say about this!
Oh, Bing, how I would let you serenade me with your songs! Let me be your dance partner!
Cary Grant... You are such the gentleman in The Bishop's Wife. You are a fantastic model for gentlemen these days!
Maureen O'Sullivan in Tarzan opposite Johnny Wiessmuller, and also Pride and Prejudice.
Others worth mentioning: Catherine Hepburn (Bringing up Baby, The African Queen), Audrey Hepburn (Breakfast at Tiffanys), John Wayne (Old West Movies, True Grit), Marilyn Monroe (Some Like it Hot, Niagara), Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca), Gene Kelly (An American in Paris), Yul Brynner (The King and I, Anastasia) Deborah Kerr (An Affair to Remember), Henry Fonda, Maureen O'Hara (Miracle on 34th St) Judy Garland, Jane Powell, Clark Gable.
You get the picture! I could go on, but I think I've made my point on this one!
9. Books: Anyone that knows me, knows I always have a book somewhere with me, or at least in my car! Some good Titles and Authors: Christine Feehan's The Dark Series
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter
Jane Austen
Charles Dickens
J.M. Barrie
James Patterson
8. Harry Potter: Because this is good enough to get it's own category. If it's anything HP related, I'm probably already on top of it!
I'd probably be put in Hufflepuff! That's what I'm in also on my account in Pottermore!
7. Wicked: The Musical: Because this is such a great performance and story line for any age group. It sends a really great message to everyone. I really can appreciate it because I used to be super scared of the Wicked Witch of the West until I read this story. It really is nice to have a story like this root for someone we think to be a horrible person, but in actuality, she is doing nothing but trying to do the right thing.
6. The Little Things in Life: The small things that people don't notice every day. Like waking up and going downstairs after a bad dream, and letting the puppy out and have him dance around you while you get his breakfast ready. Or waking up to the kitty curled up in a ball right next to you cuddling with your legs. Walking outside and smelling manure: where would your produce come from without productive small farms? It's all a part of a bigger process that people tend to forget. I love living in a small town, farming community in the middle of no where. The gifts you find from yourself when you empty out the dryer: the money you forgot to take out of your pocket. Every part of your life makes you who you are, small and big. And generally, the small things tend to have the biggest impact on your life, whether you realize it or not.
5. My Family: Because where on earth would I be without their love and guidance? As annoying and loud mouthed Polish people can be, they're the ones I would pick any given day of the week because they're my loud mouthed, annoying family. (And Grandma Barbara!) I wouldn't have it any other way. To think, this picture doesn't even have a quarter of the family in it. I love them all with all of my heart. I couldn't imagine my life without them.
4. My House: Because, well, I'm starting to renovate, and it's becoming a huge project! Tearing down wallpaper, finding old wallpaper, wondering what the house was like in the early 1900's, liking that wallpaper more than the top layer of wallpaper. Everything is a project, just making the house more of a home and into something Alex and I can love even more.
3. Pinterest: This site has every awesome idea imaginable! There is so much I'd love to be able to do, but there's not enough time in my schedule! My boards are pretty well filled with over 300 pins overall... I'd definitely call that an obsession...
2. My Animals: I think this one's just a given! They are my kids, and keep me smiling through the worst days, keep me on my toes when I'm on my days off, cuddlers when I'm watching a movie or reading a book, or like right now using me as a pillow!
1. Traveling and Exploring: If I had no money worries, I'd be a globe trotter and checking out all the wonders of the world! Before I die, I want to go to: England, Ireland, Poland, Japan, Australia. And learn Italian and some French. I'd love to go back to Italy. Maybe buy a villa, and disappear from life on this side of the world.... One can dream, right?
Make sure there's a pool and I'm set!
