Marci's Desert Island Movies

Hali tagged me to list the 10 movies I would have with me, were I stuck on a desert island. How the world could I ever choose just 10???

1. Life As a House
I LOVE Kevin Kline, he's by far one of my favorite actors and of course he's amazing in this movie

2. Blades of Glory
Pretty sure I have never laughed so hard in my entire life!

3. Count of Monte Cristo
It has everything! Romance, revenge, action, drama! What else could you ask for??

4. Hercules (Disney version)
"Remember how a few years ago, every other boy was named Jason and the girls were all named Britney?"

5. Into the Wild
It brings out my bohemian side.

6. Rent
"Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes!"

7. Charlie Bartlett
I don't remember much about this movie, but I remember I loved it.

8. Mean Girls
HAHAHAHAHA!!!

9. The Fugitive
Harrison Ford is my hero. I have idolized him since I first saw him crack a whip.

10. Elf
I think that if my husband had enough sugar in his system, he would act exactly like Buddy the Elf. And I'm also convinced that Will Ferrell and I are long lost best friends.

I realize this wasn't a test, but I still feel as though I have failed...weird. Anyway, whom ever would like to participate in this fun little tag...GO!!

Our New Baby!!

This is our new baby girl Pippy! Pip for short. She's a Fancy Dwarf Hampster and she is so blasted cute! She loves to take naps on us. Welcome to the family!

An Anniversary

January 12th marked the one year anniversary of when Gary and I first met. We had our first date, accompanied by Neil and Felicia, at Koyo, followed by some hot springs in Park City. Cops were involved and I got deathly ill from the extremes of hot and cold, but it was of course the best date ever. We wanted to recreate it with our friends once again, but the night didn't go quite as planned. Koyo was closed...something about being Japanese... so we went to the Olive Garden which was almost as good. And we got free desserts due to lack of hustle on the chef's part.

I love Gary! He's the best person I know and I love his guts!

It's Puzzling

Last Sunday Gary and I went to visit my family and my Granny Blanche for the evening. When we got to Grandma's she had been working on a 1000 peice puzzle of Winnie the Pooh that she got for Christmas. Gary and I love puzzles so we sat down for a few hours and went to work! My grandma was so happy because it was a VERY difficult puzzle and "her eyes aren't as good as ours." We only got about half way done before we had to drive home. Then last night, we drove up again for my brother's brithday and made a stop at Grandma's. She told us that she had only put in about 8 more peices the whole week, so again, Gary and I hunkered down to finish the puzzle.
My mom joined us as we neared the end.
Blanche was so dang excited when we finished it. We let her put in the last 2 peices...which took about 10 minutes.

And don't you be thinking that she isn't going to mod-podge this puzzle, custom frame it and give it to me and Gary to hang in our first child's bedroom. We love our grandma...silly as she is!As a side note, girls run in my family, so my grandma ADORES any man that is in her life, and Gary seems to be one of the best things to ever happen to her in a while. During the whole puzzle process, every time Gary would find where a peice went, my Grandma would praise him up and down, while my accomplishments went ignored. I finally had to demand that she notice my doings as well...which she did for a little bit until Gary found where another peice went!
