The Wuggie

This is for real.  So go out and buy one, haha.

This quote is from an article that I think helps put things in perspective:

“It's pretty funny, really. People do seem more willing to buy these ridiculous blankets with arms than they are to pay for music these days. I think that's the point.”

Check out the article for a making-of video if you are interested.

Another weekend here and gone.  And what do I have to show for it?

Finalized the contract for my bridesmaids dresses

Cheered my Cowboys into another win!

Made Pad Thai, mashed sweet potatoes and apple cider with my Main Squeeze.

Malachi bought me a bunch of beautiful flowers!

Went to see Couples Retreat (and wishing I could be in Bora Bora right now).

Made some yummy fresh salsa.

Bought candy for trick-or-treaters.

Ate lots of candy because we don't get any trick-or-treaters.

Let Malachi practice Acupuncture on me!

Bought a couple of work shirts (something I never do, because who wants to buy clothes to wear in a hospital?)

Spent lots of time with my adorable puppies.

Chillaxed the whole weekend :)  And wonder why weekends have to be so short.

5-2!!

The 'Boys sure are looking better all of a sudden.  Something clicked and I'm liking it!  It's like they were each taking turns making touchdowns today.  Austin, Hurd, Williams, Barber, Crayton... Ya!!!!

I could have danced, danced, danced! All Night!

I love me a good musical.  It's true.  And probably not too much of a suprise.  Here is my list, in a rough ascending order from least to most. 

Disclaimer: Now, I didnt spend alot of time on this, so I may have missed a few, and some of them I didnt know where to put on the list so they just kind of got thrown in.

Starting with 3 soundtracks of NON-musicals:

--------------------

3.  Amelie

Who doesn't love that happy little music?

2. French Kiss

Just because.

1.  Garden State

This soundtrack will always bring me back to my first year of PT school.

Now, moving on to actual musicals!!!

15. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Because it is plumb ridiculous.

14.  Robin Hood

This doesnt get watched by me as much as it deserves to.

13. My Fair Lady

Annoying and charmind all at the same time.

12.  Enchanted

I love it.  A movie that can make fun of Disney classics and still have a classic appeal of its own.

11. Wizard of Oz

I think I've seen every version of this known to man.  Even the insane Michael Jackson one.

10.  Hairspray

I actually don't care that much for the movie.  Nor the entire soundtrack.  But there are parts of both that I like.  Why is it #11 then?  Because the songs that I like from this movie, I listen to more than those of the movies above.

9. The Little Mermaid

I don't think I could technically call myself a girl if this one wasn't on the list.

8.  Beauty and the Beast

My favorite Disney/Musical/Cartoon!

7.  Chicago

Sure, a little risque.  But well done.  And I love the last song/dance.  Well...I love all the songs/dances!

6.  Grease

Greased Lightenin'!!  Now I'm gonna have trouble getting that out of my head for the rest of the day.

5. The Sound of Music

I was just singing this to myself in the car on the way into work on friday.

4. Moulin Rouge

Ewan McGregor's voice.  Call me a fan.

3. Mamma Mia

I actually don't like the movie at all.  And I think Pierce Brosnan ruins every song he participates in.  And the fact that it made #3 on my list shows you how much I love listening to the soundtrack in spite of that!

2.  Newsies

I love this movie and its music and its dancing so much.  When I was little i would put the soundtrack in and have all my toy animals out on the floor and they would put on a Newsies concert.  I think I had the movie memorized.

1.  Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

If any of you are suprised, then you need to enroll in Lyndsey101.

Off the screen, onto my favorite broadway soundtracks.  There is only one (that isnt a movie as well which would have been listed above), yet it is my favorite over all the others listed in this post...

Wicked!

I wish wish wish this would be made into a movie so that I wouldnt have to shell out 35+ dollars if I ever want to see it again.  :(

If you made it this far into my post, then you probably have a musical or two that you like yourself, what are your favorites?

4-2

I still love Tony Romo (and he did some great things in the game today), but is it so wrong to love Miles Austin too?

Go Cowboys!
