Fab Five for August

Since the month is almost over, I figured I should do this month's fab five before I forget. Here you go:
Fav Candy: My old standard is a Snickers bar, and has been forever. Have you seen the new M&M's though? They are chocolate, so of course they sound yummy, but they have different flavors and are in a sparkly box. I was going to try them until I saw the price - $4.29!!! Can you believe it? They may be good, but I don't think they could be that good.
Fav Olympic Event (still sad that they are over!): To watch would definitely be gymnastics. For some reason the three years of tumbling I took as a kid makes me feel like an old pro when I watch. I also love watching synchronized swimming but they rarely show the whole thing in prime time. If I was actually in the Olympics though, my event would be the 100 meter backstroke. That would probably be my best chance at a medal. Yeah, it could happen.
Fav Movie: This is incredibly hard to pick, but I am going to have to go with Emma. I love the romance of that time, although if I lived in it I would get tired of the corsets I am sure.
Fav Bible Verse: I think the passage that I always come back to is Philippians 4:4-7. For someone who is anxious alot this is a comfort.
Fav Book: I was thinking about this because I actually read a book last night, and reminded myself why I don't read. I can't pick up a book and start it unless I have the time to finish it, I hate putting it down and saving it for later. Part of it is probably because we live in a world filled with commercial interruptions, where it is okay to take a break because you won't miss out on anything. With books, it is all right there waiting for you. And yes, in suspenseful books I am one of those people who read the end. Usually I get to the middle, wonder if the characters I like will survive, then glance (just a quick glance mind you) to see if their names are in the end so that I know whether or not they live. Last night I read The Shack, and cried through almost the whole thing so this morning I woke up with a headache. Word to the wise, don't read it right before going to bed or you will wake up with puffy eyes! Anyway, as far as a favorite book it is hard to choose, but I am going to go with the Little House on the Prairie series. They are classics for me, and even though they are children's books I have probably read them a million times. I also love Anne of Green Gables.
Hope you enjoyed this month's list!
