Friday Five-Favorite Movies

By 14 Comments

Today’s Friday Five is favorite movies! It was super hard to narrow my list down to only five, so here are my top five (at least for today!). I’m going to count them down backwards for ya!

5. Hope Floats

I absolutely love Sandra Bullock. She has been my favorite actress since Hope Floats came out. I really love this movie

4. Legally Blonde
Love love love Reese Witherspoon! She is another favorite of mine! I was blonde until I was 22, and this movie definitely made me proud to be blonde!

3. Cinderella

This has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. I love fairy tales and princesses, and I have watched this over and over, and I never get tired of it!

2. Under the Tuscan Sun
2. This movie makes me want to move to Italy and live in the country! Diane Lane and Sandra Oh are fantastic. It’s also got some great quotes!

“Regrets are a waste of time. They’re the past crippling you in the present.”

“Never lose your childish innocence. It’s the most important thing.”

“It is unhealthy to eat alone.”

1. Miss Congeniality

I know this may seem like an odd choice for a favorite movie, but I love it! Sandra Bullock is so amazing and so funny! It also has some fantastic quotes, and I’m pretty sure I can quote the whole movie.

The view from my balcony
Today is my second day off this week because of the Oklahoma “significant winter storm”. As difficult as it can be to be stuck in the house for a few days, it is also nice to have an excuse to slow down life and just hang out! Here are a few reasons why I’m loving Winter Blast 2010!

I love ANY excuse to wrap up in a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate!

Sandra Bullock movie marathons!


Getting lost in one of the many books in the basket beside my bed, waiting to be read.

And I LOOOOVE snuggling with this cute little thing!
He loves having me home for a day or two, but then starts getting into trouble.

Here is one more pic for ya! This of the tree right in front of my apartment. The branches are covered with ice. We are extremely lucky that the ice wasn’t too bad here and we have not lost power (yet!). I hope everyone out there is being safe and staying warm!
