My Fair Lady

So late last night, after I soaked in the tub for a while (had a rough pt day) I decided to pop in my DVD of My Fair Lady. It, by far, is the best musical in the world, right beside of Singing in the Rain.

There are several reasons that this movie is my go to feel good movie. When I was a little girl, my Nana (Dads Mom) lived almost 2 hours away, and my sister and I would get to go stay with her every once in a while, and it was always the best times, we would bawl like babies when we would go and leave. The wonderfulness (I'm making this a word if it isn't one already) that happened at her house I will never forget. We would dress up to the nines in costume jewelry and dresses and have outlandish turbans and things, ya know typical girly girl stuff. We (my sister and I) would put on fashion shows for her in the living room. She would throw together these amazing tea parties, nobody in the planet made a better tea party than my Nana...nobody! :-) So while we were having tea in the living room we would watch old movies and things and just hang out, one of these movies was My Fair Lady.

There are so many life lessons and cute little tidbits in that movie. I don't get to see my Nana as often a I like still to this day, but I think about her a lot. Especially when I see this movie, or some of the others that we watched like Daddy Long Legs or The Last Unicorn. Those are the memories that I will cherish forever, and one day I hope to be as amazing and a good role model as she was.

Moving onward and upward to the recipe for today! Yay!
