Anyone who has read this blog for awhile or knows me outside of the BLOG-O-SPHERE knows that I am broken when it comes to certain movies.

I have chronicled my problems with the movie RENT. That I can watch it over, and over, and over, and over again endlessly until anyone in the immediate area wants to throw the TV out of the window.

Well, um, there is another movie that I have this problem with. Ok… (deep breath…) I have this problem with the movie BECAUSE OF WINN DIXIE. ( Humor me, pleeeeease?)

Well, India Opal wants to make a list of 10 things about her mama…

I am going to make a list of 10 things about my big Brother G-Tiddy:

1. He is really damn funny. I mean…. roll on the floor, crack your own-self up funny. One of the funniest people I know. Period. Hands down.
2. He has great stories to tell. He can make anything a story and entertain you like no one’s business.
3. He is very talented…. athletically… artistically…musically… plays a mean game of golf and a mean guitar. There isn’t anything he can’t do.
4. He has this music catalouge in his head. I think it runs in our family… but he has it more than me.
5. He would give you the shirt off of his back. A lot of people say they would….I have actually seen and been the recipient if this ( drove 5+ hours to pick me up at school b/c he didn’t want to see me spend a holiday break there).
6. He loves his family for who we are…. flawed and well meaning as we all are.
7. His is an inspiration to me…. always has been.
8. His family loves him very much.
9. He is an all around kind, decent person. I mean that in the best possible way. He has many friends, and for many years, because he knows how to be a good friend.
10. It is HIS BIRTHDAY today!!!

Go wish my big brother a happy day today!!!! Tell him his little sister sent you!!!

Happy Birthday G!!!! Wish we could be with you to help blow out the candles….all 29 of them!
