Thanks everybody. I can't imagine I'm that interesting but I'm gonna live in my dilusional world of awesome-sauce for today. So whoo! *you can totally picture me doing this>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>*
Thank you guys.
It's spring time in Italy, so says my television, and that is where I want to be as the cold weather has begun to settle in around these parts. I can't promise this won't come up again: I HATE COLD.
But This post isn't about literature love. It is about my childhood love I have carried since I was very small. It was a movie I watched every time I went to my grandparents house--something I looked forward to every time we made the drive, popping in those 2 VHS videos. Made me love musicals, theater, etc.
This movie gives me chills, makes me cry, warms my heart, and makes me smile every time I see it, hear the songs, or see the actors.
And it is now a 45 year old movie! So Happy Birthday to The Sound of Music!
Julie Andrews is a hero of mine. I cried for her in 1997 when she had the surgery that would end her wide range of singing. I love and hold very dear her movies and the memories she is associated with in my life.
I missed the first time the whole 7 children, Julie Andrews, and Christopher Plummer came together again since the movie was filmed on Oprah but someone put the videos online, and so I was able to enjoy every second of that show. I am happy to take a Funny Friday off to post them for you all.
And because I am incapable of leaving you funny-less: This is probably the funniest thing I have seen all week. "Bieber!"
Just in case you wanted it, HERE you can buy your very own Harry Potter Snuggie. That's right. HP SNUGGIE. Wow.
Happy weekend, all!
Okay, I want that snuggie. ASAP. It WILL be mine. :)

ReplyDeleteI totally forgot they were having a Sound of Music reunion on Oprah! I heard about it and got all excited, but then forgot! Thanks for posting the videos!! I LOVED sound of music- I watched it every time it came on Sunday nights with the Wonderful World of Disney family movie nights. That and Mary Poppins- I dvr'd them last time they were on tv. I really should just buy the dvd's. CONGRATS on 100 followers- and we do love reading your blog- it's totaly awesome-sauce!!
ReplyDeleteAww, I love Sound of Music! I always stop it once they go on their honeymoon, because the Nazi plot always stresses me out :) And congrats on reaching 100 followers! You should buy an HP Snuggie to celebrate :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations with the 100!
ReplyDeleteI just reached 66. That's kind of scary isn't it, if you think about the number of the beast and stuff like that ... anyway, it's my favorite number >:)
Cold As Heaven

ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Harry Potter to come out, either. *sigh*

ReplyDeleteCongrats. Harry Potter did the same thing for me. It made me realize that you can write a good book for kids and still have adults like it.
ReplyDeleteWell done on reaching 100!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing quite like a comfort movie that you can go back to over and over.
