Lists…I have lists of my favorite everything: songs to drive to, colors to wear, television characters, Italian restaurants, places I want to visit, months of the year; so, I figured, why not keep those lists here. I guess, in case I need a reference someday?
Movies (my gut tells me to start with this category)
- Heaven Can Wait (1978)
- Love Actually
- Home Alone
- Die Hard
- The Sure Thing
Everything else, rotates depending on the day, but are also my favorites: Overboard; Valley Girl; Secondhand Lions; The Butterfly Effect; Marvel’s The Avengers; Cars; Life as a House; Sixteen Candles; The Breakfast Club; Planes, Trains and Automobiles; 13 Going on 30; Adventures in Babysitting; Back to the Future; The Cutting Edge; Grease; Housesitter; Independence Day; Romancing the Stone; Making the Grade; Night of the Comet; The Other Guys; Real Genius; The Replacements; Sliding Doors; Summer School; Three Men and a Baby; Never Been Kissed; The Holiday; Under Siege; Halloween; Corvette Summer; April Fool’s Day; Can’t Buy Me Love; While You Were Sleeping; North by Northwest.
Least favorite: Rapid Grannies, Graveyard Shift
Colors
The generic answer:
- Blue
- Green
- Black
- Pink
- Red
The detailed answer (without the color black):
- Just before sunset, twilight blue, when the first star makes an appearance
- Light grayish blue like – ice blue, if you will, with a silver shimmer to it
- Kelly green (bright and happy)
- Ice pink (like ice blue, has a silver shimmer)
- From rich red with a bluer tint to it to deep red (not maroon, but with a touch of cranberry), like if you were going to paint your dining room red
Least favorite: Yellow, Brown and I still have a hang up with Navy Blue (use to cry as a kid when I wore navy blue clothes because the blue clashed with my brown eyes – I wanted blue eyes like Cheryl Ladd to go with my blonde hair. The only celebrity I knew with blonde hair and brown eyes was Pia Zadora and I didn’t want to be her)
Days
Favorite: Friday – I was born on a Friday, I love it when Friday falls on the 13th, and most importantly, Friday has the hope for the weekend ahead. The clock hasn’t started counting down and the anticipation of what is ahead fills my mind with excitement. Friday is like Christmas Eve or the drive to the airport before taking off on vacation. The possibilities are endless!
Least favorite: Sunday night/Monday morning – back to the drawing board.
Animals
My favorite land animal is a fox. Maybe because they are so sly and elusive that I’ve never really gotten to see one too close, but boy do they look adorable. Maybe because they come out at my favorite time of day – twilight. Maybe because they have an “x” in their spelling. Whatever the reason, I wish I could have a baby fox for a day. My favorite sea animal is the seahorse. I don’t really know exactly why, but when I think about them, I can only think of how cool they are. I love them so much that when (strangely because many of them are endangered) Jack’s Aquarium and Pets were selling them, I didn’t want to buy one because I knew I wouldn’t be able to take it if one died in my care. Truly, I love most animals. Zorses are so beautiful, but you don’t see them around too often. Rabbits are the cutest, snuggliest little guys. And, you can’t deny that dogs are many times better companions than other humans. I don’t think I have any least favorite animals, so I’ll leave it at that for now.
