These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Is my secret safe with you?
It's not fashionable for a cynical, potty-mouthed Gal like me to admit, but I completely LOVE Julie Andrews. She's pretty, she's clever, she's energetic (just ask the nuns who tried to solve a problem like Maria), she has those incomparable pipes and she's so very, very good. I finished the heinous project I brought home from work and did yet another load of laundry. Now I'm going to reward myself by just sitting here, watching the Sound of Music and admiring how Julie manages to personify all that is good in the world. But please don't tell anyone how desperately corny I can be.
I would never call it corny. She's Julie Andrews for cryin out loud.
ReplyDeleteI am mesmerized by her performance in both S.O.M. and Mary Poppins.
I just love Julie Andrews.
Hope you enjoyed your treat!

She's one of my very favorites too! And it's NOT corny!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm corny then too, eh? ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's not corny at all - I love her in The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins! Her accent is just lovely!
BookMama's Mama here - Guess there are more "corny" people in the world than you thought, huh? I've probably watched SOM twice a year since it came out -- and that's not counting "partial" viewings!! It's nice to know that some things still hold their charm.
ReplyDeleteGO CUBS !!!
Sound of Music, one of my FAVORITE CHEESY MOVIES EVER
ReplyDeleteI love musicals, and this is one of my favorites.
