Something Quick and Fun

I decided that I was going to take weekends to catch up on my e-mail and blog reading, rather than spending time writing blog posts. But as I was catching up on my reading, I found this four things meme over at LadyBug Crossing, and decided to do it today. I guess I just can't stand not to write at all, but at least I can do something fun and quick.

Four Films I Could Watch Over and Over:
It's a Wonderful Life (my favorite movie ever, ever, ever)
Ghostbusters
Star Wars
Duck Soup

Four Favorite TV Shows:
House
Heroes
Survivor
Amazing Race

Four Favorite Foods:
Gelato or gourmet ice cream
Nutella
Chocolate
Really good bread

Four Websites I Visit Every Day:
Google (Gmail, Reader and Adsense)
A secret locked blog
Sitemeter
My favorite blogs, but there are more than four...

Four Places I Would Love To Be:
Home, home, home and home -- oh wait, there must be someplace else...
The beach. Any beach -- cold, warm, sunny, rainy, whatever -- if it has waves and salt water that's where I want to be.
Any of my favorite restaurants.
A book store or library.

Four Favorite Colors:
Green
Blue
Purple
Deep, rich red

Four Names I Love But Wouldn’t/Couldn’t Use for a Kid:
Leyla (we almost named our daughter this, but found a name we liked even better)
Illyria (this was in our top 10 for our girl -- I like the "L" sound, can you tell?)
Auden (for a boy -- we thought other kids would punch our son on the playground with a name like Auden)
Grey (for a boy -- I really like this name, but my husband and I used to joke that because he is black and I am white our kids would be grey, so it seemed a little too silly)

Four People to Tag:
The first four people who read this and need a quick and easy post of their own!

    Ooo very interesting. Thanks for squeezing that one in. I'm always torn between reading and writing!

    I wanted to use the name Harvey [after Harvey and the White Rabbit] but apparently Harvey has all kinds of unpleasant connection out here and so we'd have been cursing our child. They all seem to have a melodious theme though, those preferred names of yours.

    Cheers

    I love the real names I gave my children and am so sad I'm being all anonymous and can't share them on the blog. Maybe I'll use one of those favored backup names for each...

    I'm going to do this meme when I get home from work. I'll spend my work morning thinking of this meme and ignoring everything I'm supposed to be doing :)

    Shit--I think I owe you some other damn tag. Now I even forgot what that one was -- something about books or something.....
    I'm gonna say I'll do it and hopefully I actually will -- Raised by Wolves.

    Love you,
    Scout
