5. The Notebook—This movie didn’t make me fall in love with love but it did give me the hots for Ryan Gosling (a whole other story). The Notebook also gave my husband the idea that we are going to die at the same time, holding hands and laying next to one another in an old folks’ home. I’m convinced he’s wrong because we brown people like to keep our elderly at home. So I think the two of us will most likely die together in one of our children’s spare bedrooms…or maybe a trailer out in back. Favorite sappy quote: That’s my sweetheart in there. Wherever she is, that’s where my home is.
