Follow-up to Insomniac Rambling #1 (and a partial list of some of my fav films)

Well whattya know? Maybe I do actually need less sleep than I thought. After only making it 4 hours in dreamland the night before, I had a super productive and creative day. Maybe it's time to start charting how well I do on X hours of sleep. It would be super cool if I could end up like the Diane Keaton character in Something's Gotta Give. I'd love to be a best-selling artist like Erica Barry. Every time I sit and flip-flop between sobbing and hearty laughter like she did in that one scene, I hope that means that I'm super creative and not super nutso!

So it's time. . . To discuss movies of course!!! (otherwise this will be a totally useless post). I'll try to narrow down the hundreds of my favorites to like my top 10. Maybe top 20. It would be easier to do it by category. Hmmm -- that's actually a great idea. To follow the "theme", I guess this post will be a list of my all-time favorite Romantic Comedies:

OK. I have to stop. Time waits for no man and I've got to get to work! So there you have it (I guess): My top 20 favorites. It's jut that I know I'm totally forgetting at least one, so I should have made it my top 25. eek!

I would love, love, love to hear what other's favorites are. One of these days I might bore you with a more detailed reasoning as to why some of those are my favorites. And you'll notice that The Ref may end up on more than one list.

Toodleloo for now

Insomniac Rambling #1

Why did my body wake me up at 4:30 a.m. today??? It can't be because it was well rested since I haven't had a good night's sleep in over a week. Or can it? Do I somehow not know that I actually need less sleep than I think I do??? Say it ain't so Sam. Is that from a movie? Probably sorta kinda but not really. I'm sure I took a little from this movie line or that movie line and confused the two and made up something similar but not quite. Yeah, sounds like me. OK. Where was I?

Oh yeah. Rambling on about nothing. As usual.

So. For the last hour I've checked facebook and searched high and low online at places like eBay and Craigslist and even Amazon to try and find a bigger zoom lens for my new camera. Geez Louise but things are expensive. I so wish I had access to more money. Don't really want to work for more money, I'd just really like some wealthy person to just offer it to me! I'd gladly take it and announce to the whole world what a generous person this person was. Anyone? I'll even blog about it here, and tens of people would read about it, so it would be like totally expensive and worthless advertising. Anyone??? ;)

What would I do with that money you ask? Oh my, how much time do we have. I have so many wants/needs/dreams that it might take a few hours. I'll try and put down a partial list though, since I'm sure everyone is waiting with baited breath to find out.

-Bigger zoom lens for my camera. Weren't you reading a minute ago???

-Digital video camera, as I've broken my old one. My kids are still teens and I have years and years more of videotaping yet to do.

-A nice color printer and a ton of paper/envelopes so I could finally get my greeting card business off the ground. How many years have I been trying to get this thing going??? Too many. My how time flies

-Tithing. I would definitely pay tithing. I need all the blessings I can get from the Super Awesome Father up there in Heaven.

-Mini-Vacation for me and a few other divorced moms that I feel lucky enough to count as friends. M and H and C really, really, no I mean, REALLY need a getaway. This mom stuff was a lot harder than we imagined!!!

and yeah. I could go on and on and on and on, but I think it might actually be more beneficial for me to get my hefty arse off this chair and go do some laundry or dusting or photo-editing with all this free time I've been gifted by waking up 3 hours too early. Thanks body. Thanks a million.
