Oh! I like Depp in PIRATES, as well. And I like both the old and new Sabrina (though I own the new and watch it often).
I forgot the "What's for dinner?" "I don't know" thing. Good one.

Cindy, such good taste you have in books and movies! Why, whoever raised you?!
And I agree on all your points about your husband. He's a catch.

Cindy: Thanks for clarifying that. I was a little worried.
Sally: Yeah, it's good that we have our priorities straight, isn't it? About the paperboy: He's in a short scene on Christmas morning. He throws a paper, loses his balance, and falls off his bike. It's just a really funny pratfall, but it's so short that it's easy to miss.
Oh, and I heard from Mark. He won't be playing along with us because that dratted Michael Snyder already nabbed him. (Hi, Mike, it's okay, I don't hold grudges very long.)
Welcome, peace_be_wit_u! Of course you can steal "my" idea!
Thanks for stopping by, Susan, and I hope you'll be back often. I just looked at the pics on your blog. Very nice!
Now, the California coast on a motorcycle... that would be FUN.
