Playing Favorites


Anyone that knows me very well, knows that I have a soundtrack addiction. I also love greatest hits and compilations but soundtracks are my first love. I remember my first like it was yesterday, it was American Graffiti on 8 track. Next came my Grease album, followed by my Footloose cassette. An obsession was born. There is no stopping me now. Oh to own an Ipod and be able to have all of them in one place. The following is a list of my top 5 favorites. I don't think it's a coincidence that these are some of my favorite movies. What's your favorite?
1) Mona Lisa Smiles
2) You've Got Mail
3) One Fine Day
4) Sleepless in Seattle
5) Hope Floats

I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you that posted to my plea for fashion help. I'm checking out all of your suggestions. I am truly touched by the outpouring of bloglove I received yesterday and every day for that matter. You are all so supportive and encouraging and you mean so much to me. I never thought when I started this blog that it would change my life in so many ways. I never could have predicted the friendships that I would form from it or the happiness & satisfaction that I would gain from it, as well as from all of your blogs out there that I absolutely treasure. You are all amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for stopping by to read my ramblings and for taking a moment of your valuable time to leave me the sweetest comments!

  1. Ahh, Hope floats. That is good stuff.

    I am a Bon Jovi freak, so at the moment it is all Bon Jovi, all the time. LOL

  2. I know...

    Soundtracks are wonderful, my favourites are:
    You've got mail
    City of angles
    Hope floates

    Started at an early age (12-13)
    Top Gun
    The Lost Boys
    Footloose
    Dirty Dancing and many more

    I think it's because a soundtrack mirrors a mood... No matter what kind of day you are having, there is a soundtrack for it....

    wonderful

    Take care

  5. Thanks for the visit and comment left on my blog. You asked where I get my signature jewelry. I've found some of it on Ebay and some were gifts from friends. Some I inherited from my grandmother. My favorite piece my teenager found at a thrift store for me. Some gorgeous Sleeping Beauty turquoise earrings valued at $100 that he found for $10!! Must have trained that boy right! :) :) Good luck with your journey into finding your own personal style. Be careful...you may find yourself with a new addiction on your hands. LOL!

    hugs,

    Charity

  7. I'm addicted to soundtracks, too!

    I have too many to list, but One Fine Day and Hope Floats are two of my favorites, too. I also love How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days and My Best Friend's Wedding.

    I'm thinking about buying the soundtrack to Because I Said So - I love World Spins Madly On by The Weepies.

  10. Soundtracks are my very favorite too. I love Stealing Beauty along with a bunch of others mentioned. I don't think I have Hope Floats (how did that escape me?!) so that will have to go on my list.

    Jen, I see you live in Indiana. We're moving there from NJ. In fact, we're flying out this Saturday to look at houses. Do you like it there? I've never been so I'm a little nervous but I only hear good things about it. My husband will be transferred to Lawrence, outside of Indy.

    Love your blog. Take care.

    Feel free to email me at jenjen1220@yahoo.com. I'd be happy to help you in anyway that I can. I will tell you that I moved to the Indy area from Miami and I couldn't be happier. It is an amazing place to raise a family. Jen

  17. That's so funny.. I have all of them except Hope Floats. If you love Mona Lisa Smile, you must get De-Lovely! Kevin Kline is wonderful in the movie and sings a bit on the soundtrack too. It's all Cole Porter's music. You'll love it! Happy Weekend!

  34. Hi Jen,

    I found your blog while visiting Amy's at InspireCo. and have been enjoying it all morning. I'm another soundtrack nut, especially Rogers and Hammerstein musicals and Gone With the Wind of course. Have you seen "The Devil Wears Prada" with Meryl Streep? The opening song is called Suddenly I See by K.T. Tunstall and it's my current favorite song - the whole soundtrack is great as was the movie. BTW, nice to make your aquaintence ~

  35. Thanks for the soundtrack suggestions. I love those movies too and I think I will check out a couple that I haven't heard before. Also, I know what you mean about the blog love. It's so good!!
