until i figure out my picture problem here are some movies

'the moon is blue'.
david niven was so great in it.
i even liked william holden.
 i've never said that before.

'now, voyager'.  i liked it. chick flick.  definitely a chick flick.
betty davis, paul henried, claude raines...
need i say more?
good acting can do anything with a script weak or strong.

'the man who came to dinner'.  i really liked bette davis
but i couldn't get past the main character.  he was a situation manipulator.
i hate manipulaters.
i'm not sorry i watched it.  i probably wouldn't watch it again.

'Christmas in connecticut'.  love this movie.  maybe i just love barbara stanwyck.
either way, after i watched it i pushed the blue keep button instead of the red delete button.
then my dvr gave me the evil eye

'bachelor mother'.  bo and i started watching it and really liked it but the busy
season got to us and we haven't finished it yet.
i've never seen david niven in a movie this young.  it's great.
i've seen the 'bundle of joy' remake with debbie reynolds and eddie fisher
but my vote goes to ginger and niven.  i'm sensing the blue keep button here.

'the mouse that roared'.  peter sellers.
it was weird.  i like weird movies but i wouldn't watch it again.

'that funny feeling'.  sandra dee and bobby darin.  i came in late on this one
but it was cute.  it was a lot of fun to look at the 1965 set.

'i remember mama'.  irene dunne.
i can't not watch it when it's on.  i have to.  i feel compelled.
the same way i can't not cry when she scrubs the floor to sneak into the children's ward
at the hospital to sing a lullaby.

'downton abbey'.  love hugh bonneville and maggie smith. and everyone.
how does bbc collect so much talent into one movie.
i managed to get bo to watch the old episodes with me to get ready for the new season.
and he likes it! i think he does anyway.
not recommended for kids or adolescents.
(it's not 'r' rated but it's not jane austen either.)

i must say happy new year.  i don't really have resolutions.  just personal resolutions i've been trying to work on in general.  like:
-conquering my sleep problem
-bettering my personal witness.  all my unsaved friends think i'm crazy and only live by 'rules'.  i hope that the joy i have in Christ will shine through more and see the absolute joy in the crazy.  just like the hymn says "there is joy in serving Jesus.." also to keep striving to be not of the world so a difference can be seen in me.
-devoting more time to reading:  i think i'm going to start nixing tv on thursday evenings to devote to reading and scrabble (i love scrabble).  i still haven't finished p.g. wodehouse and i just ordered some old copies of mary poppins. i have so many old movies on my dvr they've conquered my afternoon hour of peace.
-getting curtains for the dining room.
-finding something that will grow in my front yard instead of moss (grass is included in that)
-keep loving my baby girl to pieces
-try to see my friends more
-increase my vocabulary (upping my reading should contribute to that)
