Say Anything

I saw this at Such a Pretty Face and like her, I liked the idea of getting recommendations. So please recommend to me:

1. A movie
2. A book
3. A musical artist, song or album

AND

Ask me three questions, anything you want to know. I, of course, reserve the right to ignore any questions I don't really want to answer.

AND

Copy and paste this into your blog, if you have one.

1. What is your favorite childhood memory?
2. If you won an all expenses paid, one week vacation to any one destination in the world, where would you go and why?
3. What is the accomplishment that you are most proud of?

Thanks! I HAVE to check that movie out! It sounds great. And I wonder why I haven't seen that book before?
1. I had a pretty great childhood owing to the fact that I had a great family, lived next door to my grandparents and my great-grandmother's houses, and lived out in the country on a farm. I was in heaven being able to go from house to house and be spoiled at every stop. My Gran made popsicles out of Kool-Aid in recycled Vienna Sausage cans and would let us eat them on her big back porch. We had ALL kinds of animals to play with. It was just me and my brother and the occasional cousin in the summers, but we were never bored and we spent a lot of time outside. Once a year we would have big family reunions there and those were always looked forward to. I can't say that any memories stand out as favorites, maybe because there are so many of them that are good.

2. I'd go to England, specifically London. It would take months for me to explore Great Britain as I want to, but I'd like to start with London. Why? It's always fascinated me, it's a beautiful place, and I'd like to see the places my ancestors saw.

3. I always hate that question. I can either cop out and say "my children" and those are not an accomplishment, or I can lie. I really don't have anything accomplished that I am proud of. Sure, I graduated high school. FIFTEEN years ago. What have I done since then? Nothing much of note. So, I guess my answer is there isn't one. Sorry.
