Another meme! Rachel gave me the idea - when you're without any ideas for a blog, do a meme. Here we go:
1. A movie you were surprised you liked: "To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar." Besides having a weird title, this movie is about a trio of drag queens. So it doesn't, at first blush, look like anything I'd want to watch. But thanks to my good friend Tom, I DID watch and then loved it. It's clearly about so much more than drag queens, and it's filled with one-liners that come in SO handy. Like, "Approval neither desired nor required." Or, "I think tomorrow is a Say Something hat day."
2. A song that makes you emotional: "This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush. I haven't found anything else by her that I like, but this one hits pretty close to home.
3. One thing you have always loved: Having my back scratched. Sorry if that's too personal. It's just so relaxing.
4. Something you collect: Mugs from Walt Disney World. Face it, everything ELSE there is too expensive! My collection is hidden in a cupboard, but is available for display on private tours. Call to schedule an appointment.
5. The concert you wish you'd been at: The Concert in Central Park with Simon and Garfunkel. I was absolutely meant to be there. Unfortunately, I wouldn't have appreciated even if my parents had brought me because I was two years old at the time. Thank goodness for video recordings.
6. A place you never need to visit: Latin America. And Antarctica. Just watch: Dan and I will serve a mission in Latin America somewhere when we're a doddering old couple.
7. A person you miss: My friend Sky. He lives in N.Y. and we almost never see each other, and while we email and talk on the phone, it's just not the same thing. He hates Muskegon and I can't just leave for N.Y. tomorrow, so this will probably go on for a while.
I'm not going to tag anyone, but I'd love to see everybody's responses to these questions.

I so agree with the To Wong Foo. Who knew. It is sort of like Steel Magnolias. Wasn't that a Tom favorite too? As for back stratching I think you owe me a few and will be requesting those on my upcoming visit. Collecting for me is T-shirts. Next time I drive up I am bringing them all and we are making a quilt. I will have to think about the others.
1. I don't think I've gone to a movie that I didn't expect to like.
2. Most hymns and patriotic songs
3. I like my back scratched too!
4. Childrens Literature
5. Harry Connick performing at Red Rocks in CO (It was right around my due date so we couldn't get tickets!)
6. Any Middle Eastern country
7. My aunt Tami- we are not good at keeping in touch when we don't live nearby. Very very sad!
Oh BTW, you just got tagged on my blog. Sorry! :)
I am officially changing my answer to the "places not to visit" question.
I DO want to see Macchu Piccu someday, even if I don't spell that right, but I absolutely never need to be in the Middle East. Maybe Egypt, if it were safer, to see the antiquities there.
Oh Beth, I LOVED Latin America. Going there was one of the biggest adventures I've ever been on. Sigh...memories. One of my goals is to go back and really pay more attention to the ancient ruins. Incredible.
