Was searching blogs this morning- you know- going to a blog, clicking on a blog listed on that web site, going to another blog, clicking on another blog, when I came to a blog called dioramarama. Copied this list from her blog- which is from AFI- their list of 100 best movies.

OK, so I'm not toally up on their movies. Maybe I should write my own list- top 100 movies I love. If we get a snow day tomorrow and I don't get any more ambition than I have now- scrapped all afternoon and did laundry, but no cleaning out my 2 cabinets I need to put things in, no finishing my quilt...still hope to get more book read but feel like I might be getting sick too. I ache everywhere-ugh. Thought my great walk on a ncie afternoon would really perk me up, but no, it didn't.
