Deborah Lauren

My husband, movies, a great book, road trips, good wine (New Castle or Guinness wouldn't hurt either), anything vintage, pin-ups, treasure hunting (I can't pass up a good antique fair), shoe shopping, my cat, cherries, working out -- I can't get enough of my friends and family -- and spending time with my daughter is priceless.

I'd like to meet:

I had to put some thought into this one and many of the people I came up with are dead and none are too profound. Here are a few: Lucille Ball, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe, Alfred Hitchcock, Grace Kelly, Jack and Jackie Kennedy, Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne (for you dad).

Here are some others: My Grandfather, my future children, my husband's father, my best friend's future ex-husband, George W. Bush so I can ask "What the hell?"; Stephen King and Dean Koontz, Linda Howard and Julie Garwood so that I can thank them for countless hours of joy - there's nothing like getting lost in a great book.

Music:

Everything from Doris Day to Green Day with a little Willie Nelson in between! Except for Rap, I love any kind of music.

Movies:

Don't even know where to start! MOB MOVIES (gotta have my Bobby), Romantic Comedies, Classics... Here are some specific must haves: Godfather 1 and 2; Goodfellas; Casino; Lethal Weapon; Unforgiven; The Big Lebowski; The Searchers; Practical Magic; Halloween (anything scary will do); The Quiet Man; Under the Tuscan Sun; Princess Bride; Something's Gotta Give; Chocolat; Star Wars (4-6); Raiders of the Lost Ark; all Alfred Hitchcock and most John Ford; Casablanca; Life is Beautiful; Stranger than Fiction; Pirates of the Caribbean; Lord of the Rings Trilogy; Pride and Prejudice; The Saint; Pillow Talk (I love Doris Day); The Untouchables; The Wizard of Oz.... and no movie list is complete without Ms. Audrey Hepburn whose films include Roman Holiday, Sabrina, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Charade.
The most wonderful movie that has touched my life - Gone with the Wind

Television:

I'm loyal to the Dodgers and Los Angeles Lakers but have a special place in my heart for the Denver Broncos (they're my boys!!)And, of course, I can't forget TV from long ago so here's to I Love Lucy and Bewitched.

Moon Catchin' Net

I've made me a moon catchin' net,
And I'm goin' huntin' tonight,
I'll run along swingin' it over my head,
And grab for that big ball of light.

So tomorrow just look at the sky,
And if there's no moon you can bet
I've found what I sought and I finally caught
The moon in my moon catchin' net.

But if the moon's still shinin' there,
Look close underneath and you'll get
A clear look at me in the sky swingin' free
With a star in my moon catchin' net.
