A Meme for St. Valentine’s Day

Thanks to Jean for the tag.

What are your favorite top ten romantic movies?
Oh sheesh. TEN?!? I’m not so good at this – and I’ve been thinking about these answers for three days! Yeah, so I’m not such a movie buff… So I’m reallllllly stretching it… (they’re in alpha order, of course)

1. Affair to Remember
2. Aladdin
3. Life is Beautiful
4. The Love Letter
5. Sleepless in Seattle
6. The Sound of Music
7. White Christmas
8. You’ve Got Mail

(Sorry, I’m stumped. I come up two short, after digging through our shelf of movies!)

What are your top five favorite romantic books (fiction or non-fiction)?
And again, I feel like I’m stretching it, though I do read; romance just isn’t a genre I’ve visited lately. So…if I’m being a little non-traditional here, well, it’s because I’m digging…digging…digging… AND I’m defining romance a little differently, I admit it. But a few of these books gave me hope where I did not know I needed hope.

1. The Five People You Meet in Heaven, by Mitch Albom
2. Good News about Sex and Marriage, by Christopher West
3. Love and Responsibility, by Karol Wojtyla
4. Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen
5. Theology of the Body, by John Paul II

If money were no object, where (on earth) would you like to spend your Valentine’s Day and how would you spend it? In other words, what is your idea of a perfect Valentine’s Day date?
Today! What are the odds that I would spend my birthday AND Valentine’s Day with my husband, when they are both on Wednesdays? Today we are trapped in our house, with snow emergencies all around us, blizzard warnings to the north and ice storms to the south and bad roads everywhere, and I can’t think of anything better, because we’re TOGETHER…all day (You see, though my answers above are unsatisfactory and stretching it a bit, I am a hopeless romantic!) Can I picture a better setting? Well, maybe. But why worry ’bout that when I have a pot of coffee and a day of snuggling on the couch before me?

I’m not sure who’s done this and who hasn’t, but I’m going to tag three lucky people, along with anyone else who wants to play (just leave me a link in the comments):
Adoro, Laura, and Michelle
