FFA-Movie Actress to Play My Life

By -
For the Friday Free for All this week we were to chose which actress should play us in the movie of our life. All I have to say is, that would be one movie that I probably wouldn't pay to see. So here it goes.

Jodie Foster I have been told I look like her. She's cute and a great actress. I could see her playing my life up until the time I got married, but she doesn't seem like the right kind of person to play the motherly type. But let's be honest, I'm not really the motherly type myself.

Glen Close


I like Glen Close. She's elegant, and could pass for the mother of three. She's a great actress. Loved her in "The Natural", and who could forget her brilliant appearance as Cruela DeVil?


Meryl Streep

I've also been told I look like Meryl Streep. She also is fantastic, especially in "The Devil Wears Prada". Wait a minute, am I detecting a theme here? Well, if you ask my children, someone who can play the part of a "devil" type character would be very prepared to play the part of me.

I definitely say Jodie Foster. Not only does she look like you, but I think she's a great actress. I could totally see her doing the loving mother bit. The other two just seem too old to play you.

Agree with Jami....too old. (Unless we just predict what's to come in your life for the sake of artistic license. Then, I'd definitely vote for Glenn Close.)

But I think Jodi Foster would be perfect!

I LOVE your picks. I mean each one of them have an Academy Award under their belt. I think they would have the acting chops to play AJ. So fun to think about.

And yes, you are the motherly type. Look at what a wonderful mom you are to your darling kiddos. We all just learn as we go and it's one hard road most of the time! I'm sure I could pass for a Devil once in a while as well!

I would have to say Jodi Foster just because she isn't OLD! The other 2 are fabulous actresses however????? I am 100% sure a movie of my life would be pretty darn lame....only my mother would pay to see it! haa haa

I think Jodie Foster! I watched Damages (starring Glenn Close) last summer and she was terrifying!

Jodie Foster. Or maybe Meryl Streep. I think she's a brilliant actress. She'd do you justice!

Catch Up, Part 2

These events aren't in chronological order. They're just in the order of the way the pictures uploaded to the post. House & Yard: After four years of living in this house, we've finally gotten around to finishing the yard. We built this house, so we had to start from scratch. We were doing a little at a time. Every year when we'd get our taxes back, we'd do something big on the yard. This year we decided to bite the bullet and just get the rest finished, and I am so glad we did. We had grass in the back, but that was it. No fence, no playground, no trampoline, no borders, no patio. Here's what the back of the house looked like before: We knew we always wanted a deck, so we finally had our neighbor build us one. When it was almost finished, our boys didn't like to go out on the deck because their feet got too hot (it's west facing). So we decided to have our neighbor add a roof to the deck. We are so glad we did. He did an awesome job and it looks gr...

The last time we got our family pictures taken was over three years ago when Sammy was a baby. Needless to say, we were overdue. Haley Warner took our pics, and I think they turned out darling. I'm just sad she's no longer taking family pictures after this year. Here's a sneak peek at how they turned out. To view all of them, you can visit our smugmug site :

Christmas Stockings

For most of the month of November I've been working on making Christmas stockings for my family. Over the years I've bought a $2 stocking here a $5 stocking there for each member of our family in hopes that one year I'd find the perfect stockings to decorate our house with at Christmas time. Well, I found them, thanks to Sharon's blog. She actually wrote about them last year, but being in England I didn't think about it. I found them again this year at this site . They are beautiful and exactly what I've been looking for. I was a little frustrated, however, at the cost of these gorgeous stockings and their holders. Here's a picture of my dream Christmas mantle from the website. Aren't the stockings and holders perfect? That's what I thought, until I saw the cost. I wasn't about to spend $38 a piece on stockings and $58 a piece on holders. I've got five people in my family so far. That's about $500 when you add tax and shipping. Nee...
