West Side Story

Last night I got a call from my mom, stating that one our favorite movies was on, "West Side Story". I love this movie, even though Natalie Wood is not really doing the vocals. I think that it is the ultimate love story. My mom  and I even went to go see it on the big screen a couple of summers ago, it was just as wonderful on the big screen as on my TV. I know all of the songs, word for word (but can not remember to pick up bread from the store). I think that it so timeless. I was so exited when recently Le Target' (Target), had the DVD on sale for $5.00. I can now watch it over and over without waiting for it to come on cable.  As I watched it, I found myself couch dancing and singing all of the songs. There are several songs from the movie that I really enjoy. Below are just a few of them....



I had though at one time of having this song somewhere in my wedding, but I didn't. I think it is just beautiful.


There are two versions of this song in the movie. The first version just has Toni and Maria singing, but this has the whole cast singing parts of the movie.


This is the best performance of Rita Moreno. When I first saw this as a kid I said, " Hey that is the lady from The Electric Company" (I am really dating myself). She won a Tony for this movie.

I am glad my mom called...it made for a fun relaxing evening. Are there any movies that you like or have seen hundreds of times and watch like it is the first time? Happy Hump Day!!!

It's funny you mention Electric Company. My fiance has a six year old and we were just watching old school EC this past weekend...a very young looking Morgan Freeman was on there too.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Wife +Sick Hubby =Medical Degree

I posted  last week about my husband being sick. Even though he is feeling better, he went to his doctor to make sure everything was OK. His doctor in-turn referred him to a specialist, to make sure as well. When I asked him what was the specialist going to do, he said " I do not know. Probably just check me out."  That did not sit well with me, so I decided that I needed to attend the appointment with him. We attended the appointment. He signed in at the front desk and the receptionist asked for the paperwork sent. He of course looked at me......especially since I was the one who fill out the paperwork. I am not sure why I filled out his paperwork, probably because he asked me to, but I never have him fill out my medical paperwork. I digress. We were escorted back to the exam room. The nurse was really nice. As she began to ask for some of the medical information, I found myself answering more of the questions than he was. Maybe I should have been quiet. The doctor eventua...
