I shall never go hungry again.
It seems like a silly item to have on my 40×40 list (what with there being only 40 items and all you’d think I could come up with something a tad grander), but nonetheless, this past weekend I set out to watch Gone With The Wind from overture to end.
I took the dog on an extra long walk, had the curtains drawn, the lights down, pillows and blankets fluffed, and snacks at the ready. I was going to do this and do it right.
Then 15 minutes into the movie I realized I had seen it before.
I vaguely remember my sister having a Gone With The Wind “moment” in middle-school (this was probably before the Dirty Dancing moment but after the Steel Magnolias moment), so I must have watched it then. But I went ahead and watch it again. Mainly for the snacks. Oh, the snacks!
“Fiddle dee-dee” sweet tea with a splash of bourbon.
Sweet Potato Fries with spicy creole seasoning.
“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a ham” biscuits with sharp cheddar and mustard butter.
Butter Pecan ice cream.
Have you seen Gone With The Wind? Have you read it? To make my 40×40 more legit, I’ve decided to read a little Margaret Mitchell next. And probably have more fiddle-dee-dee sweat tea.
I don’t get what the big to-do is about Ashley.
Rhett is much hunkier.
Did you know that Vivien Leigh was British? BRITISH?!
Should have listened to her mother.

I have never seen Gone With The Wind! You just might have convinced me to watch it!

The snacks speak for themselves.

Between the shrimp, and those ham sandwiches and fries, I am stopping by your place when I’m in the southwest.

Between Megs and I, you’d be one well-fed visitor.

I haven’t seen it in YEARS, but I went through an obsession with it in the 5th grade and dressed up as Scarlet for Halloween. Because that’s a normal 5th grade thing to do.

Must. See. Pictures.

I lurve Gone With the Wind – it’s so insanely over the top. Every time someone asks me to do something I don’t understand, my response is always “But I don’t know nothing about birthing no babies!!” Yup, I’m classy like that…..

I have to admit, I wanted to strangle Prissy by the intermission.

Girl, I am NAMED for GWTW!! (The book mind you, not the movie, as my mother would say, I would say, does it really make a difference??
Bonnie Blue Butler was a spoiled smart ass little shit. Ashley Wilkes was a puss & mealy-mouthed ole Melanie was no better. And Scarlett should’ve hung onto Rhett when she had the opportunity.
Can you tell my mama raised me to be a Scarlett and I’m raising my baby to be one too. Can’t stand to be around mealy-mouthed women! (Or women who don’t know what mealy-mouthed is referring to!)
PS. Did you know in the book, Scarlett has several children, not just Bonnie Blue Butler?

Girl, I’m named after a soap opera character (who gives birth to a son who is possessed by a demon, nonetheless). Our mothers really did peg us, didn’t they?

all classics, thank you.
