I love a good story. Period. Therefore I’m a big fan of movies of all kinds. Although there are tons of movies I really enjoyed, there are only a few that I can watch repeatedly without getting bored. It doesn’t necessarily mean they are the best movies, it just means that they possess some quality that make me want to watch them over and over again, like great songs I can’t stop singing along to or characters so unusual they entrance me. Movies like:

1. The Color Purple

2. Echanted

3. Star Trek

4. Moulin Rouge

5. Dangerous Beauty

6. School Daze

7. Memento

8. To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything

9. Hercules

10. 50 First Dates

11. Punch Drunk Love

12. The Matrix

13. Beauty and the Beast

I’m learning that living with a 2 year-old, a 5 year-old and a man of any age makes for some very, um “special” conversation:

1. “Why do I have to go to school again? I just went yesterday.”
2. “Stop dangling that at your brother, it’s inappropriate!”
3. “Eww, I see your booty and it’s naked!”
4. “But you can’t do work every day, Momma! That’s not fair.”
5. “When I grow up, I want a husband and a wife!”
6. “Well if you have your booty out, I have no choice but to slap it.”
7. “If it hurts for the baby to come out of her stomach, then why did she put it in there?”
8. “When I grow up, I’m going to be a doctor and look at people’s booty all day.”
9. “You’re fired.”
10. “Your booty’s fired, Mommy.”
11. “Daddy, you really shouldn’t kiss Mommy so much. That’s just gross!”
12. “I’m not going to tell you again to keep your hands out of my shirt. Next time you’re getting put on time-out.”
13. (And this knock-knock joke:)

- “Knock knock.”
- “Who’s there?”
- “Booty.”
- “Booty who?”
- “Booty booty booty booty booty! Ha ha!”

Yup, there’s a strange fascination with booty in my house. And at least one of those booty sentences wasn’t actually spoken by a child … *side eyes my husband*

Life is a riot – live it and love it!

I present to you one of my idols. The beautiful, talented, sultry Eartha Kitt.

Why was this woman so fabulous? How much more of her fabulous (outside of her Catwoman role) did I miss? And oh my god the pigtails with that song – she reminds me of someone I know …

(Thanks, Wilfredo!)
