A movie so bad, so full of terrible cliches, it just comes right back around again until you realize that one of the stars of this weird thing is actually TRUMAN CAPOTE! Any mystery lover who has not seen this absolutely must! And do as I do while watching movies--make air popped popcorn, douse generously with butter, and keep the salt shaker handy next to the wine glass to keep topping up the p-corn. <br />Other favorites, yes to the hot dogs and the Devil Dogs. Although back in high school decades ago we called them Desert Dogs--those things are dry as dust! And Twizzlers! So fake tasting, just like plastic, and so much better when they are a bit stale and tough. And Fresca--love me a bottle of tastes-like-nothing-on-earth soda.

Guess they reminded me of my childhood. I love TV more than movies, even though a lot of the shows aren't considered that great. Watch all the NCIS's and watched all the CSI's. Actually most mystery shows. Funny how they are rebooting all those old shows that they cancelled years ago.

I always spill mustard on my clothes at ball games so I wear dark color clothes.<br /><br />Since I am such an Anglophile, I love many things English / Scottish. I'm not sure if Ireland is included in Anglo stuff? I love Welsh and Irish things too. I have this Irish Cable sweater that I have had since high school.

Those little stuffed animals are just so adorable. I used to tease the kids and say that the Beanie Babies were their inheritance. I have parted with many of the "babies," giving some to the granddaughters and buying more for them. I've been put on a short leash now by my daughter in that department. Many of the grands' Beanies have ended up at a woman's shelter for the kids there, and that is lovely.(My daughter does try to make some practical use of them, as she is a most practical person, unlike her quirky mother.) I still buy a few Beanies for myself, most recently a goat. I mean, come on, I love goats, and a Beanie Baby goat? Who could resist? Oh, and I still have my Halloween and Christmas Beanies that I put out with the decorations over the years. <br /><br />As Beth F. mentioned above, I'm a big fan of Kraft macaroni and cheese. With all the fancy mac and cheeses out there, I still love the original Kraft from a box. And, I admit that I love white bread, although I usually try to eat something a little healthier. When it comes to making a grilled cheese though, white bread is my favorite. Hotdogs are still yummy to me, with mustard and catsup, although I don't often let myself have one. I do have a problem with my husband being back home and loving hotdogs, as they are now in the fridge to tempt me. So far, I've only allowed myself one occasionally. <br /><br />I'll have to think on the movies category a bit more. All I can come up with now is that I love all the Shrek movies, including the one made for holidays. I never tire of the music used in them.
