[peanutmuse]

It's still pretty boring around here, so here's a random GTKY...

Favorite movie?

House/condo/apartment/live with relatives?

Favorite adult beverage?

[goldenlove3]

Pets? I have a Golden Retriever who will be turning 6 next month. She's in my avatar

Favorite book? I don't read much unfortunately

Favorite movie? I don't know if it's my absolute favorite but I LOVE Robin Hood- Men in Tights. I've probably seen it 100 times and could watch it 100 more without getting sick of it.

House/condo/apartment/live with relatives? We have a house

Favorite adult beverage? I became spoiled with local craft beer but if I'm drinking to get drunk... Vodka Tonic with lime. It's been so long since alcohol!

[LizInFL]

Pets: We have a 5 y.o. fox red lab. She's practically middle-aged but still has puppy-levels of energy. (Must be nice...!) She mostly ignores DS unless there is the chance of intercepting a snack. Her favorite past-time is chasing tennis balls.

Favorite book: Coming Home by Rosamund Pilcher...I re-read it annually. I love to read and usually have a book going.

Favorite movie: tough one...Ferris Bueller's Day Off is up there.

We just bought our house last year after moving around quite a bit since we got married (DH is military). Lots of projects but I love it.

Favorite adult beverage: prosecco or a margarita

[peanutmuse]

Pets? 3 cats, Betty, LuLu & Elvis

Favorite book? The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood

Favorite movie? It used to be The Shawshank Redemption. Not sure anymore, because now it just depresses me.

House/condo/apartment/live with relatives? We own a house in our city right now, moving to a new house in the 'burbs in a few weeks

Favorite adult beverage? Another vote for prosecco here. Or tequila drinks with citrus and jalapeno infusions.

Pets? 2 English Bulldogs (1 male, 1 female), a male American bulldog, and two female long hair mini dachshunds. The puppy is the sister to our 3.5 year old mini ween who happens to be the real Sophie Grace.

Favorite book? Good question. I really have to go back and think about this. I don't sleep well and end up reading on my kindle up to a few hours every night. I've read some fantastic (and some pretty crappy) books over the past few years.

Favorite movie? Usually anything that has the maturity level of a 12 year old boy.

House/condo/apartment/live with relatives? We have a house on 16 acres. After a long day of work it's really nice driving up the driveway and seeing what we've worked our butts off for all these years, but if I'm honest I miss our teeny condo we had when we first moved in together. Life was so much simpler and everything was an adventure.

Favorite adult beverage? Depends on the season. Right now I'd kill for a Hendrick's gin with diet Sprite.

[sophiegrace]

goldenlove3 OMG Robin Hood- Men in Tights!!! I could watch that over and over again. I think that was one of the VHS' that "broke" growing up. My poor mom.

LizInFL sounds like you've seen a lot of places! Any that were your favorite?

peanutmuse love the Handmaid's Tale. How's moving prep going? Are you ready to get it over with?

[LizInFL]

sophiegrace Now that you've mentioned gin, I'm craving a G&T Yes, we have traveled and seen quite a bit, particularly my H--he has literally been all over the world (6/7 continents). Favorite place? Italy was pretty amazing. I also visited him during a year-long stint he did in Bahrain, which was really neat. It's not necessarily someplace I'd want to go again and again (isolated and HOT) but it was interesting to experience a culture so different from ours. And I brought home a beautiful Oriental rug

I'll look forward to exchanging book titles with you; I just finished one by JoJo Moyes, have you read anything by her?

[hangry]

peanutmuse Ditto on Shawshank. Used to be one of my favorites, not so much anymore. There are still great quotes from that movie though. Also, are you Canadian? I feel like all Canadians love their Margaret Atwood.

[hangry]

Pets? None, don't flame me

Favorite book? Used to be A Prayer for Owen Meany, then Pride and Predjudice, then Veronika Decides to Die, I don't now. Maybe The Language of Flowers?

Favorite movie? A League of their Own, The Kings Speech

House/condo/apartment/live with relatives? In a small house in a city with H and my son

Favorite adult beverage? Red Wine

hangry, I am not. However, Canada is just a stone's throw across Lake Ontario from me. I could be across the border in an hour and some change.

IT'S SACRILEGE! Jokes aside, I think it's a cash grab. I don't know how many times Melissa McCarthy can play that same character, you know? I won't spend money on it. If it happens to be on cable someday, I'll take a look I guess.

I have to agree with you about both the movie and Melissa McCarthy. I like her, but I feel like she's stuck in that type of role now and she could do better.
