Movie Therapy

I've been watching a lot of movies lately...ALOT!!! Some I've bought...some I rented...some I had seen before and bought anyway...some I bought and still haven't seen...it's been good "therapy" as Jessica put it. Maybe...it takes my mind off things...and really good movies are always good for the soul...and I think of really good movies kind of like books...you can learn something...even if it's only about yourself. :)

1. Blood Diamond...saw it in the theatre, but LOVE this one...watch it!!!

2. Bobby...rented it...really liked it.

3. Rumor Has It...I love Shirley Mcclain in anything! I cried my eyes out. Of course I did watch it right after the next one.d

4. World Trade Center...everyone has their own sad story dealing with 9/11, and I definitely have my own demons from that day...week...I thought it was a great movie.

5. Volver...started off thinking it was kind of weird...Spanish humor is different from American humor, but by the end I was loving it (subtitles).

6. Half Nelson...another great movie...little bit of a let down on the ending.

7. Come Early Morning...great, great movie about finding out who you really are. Cried at this one, too.

8. Running with Scissors...eh...

9. Off the Map...a little slow...but liked it a lot. It was really cute.

10. Dreamland...coming of age story...slow...but good.

11. Empire of the Sun...I love war movies, and this one is an all time classic.

12. The White Countess...another war movie...slow, not so good...but love Ralph Fiennes.

13. Beowolf and Grendle...I don't care what it was about it had Gerard Butler and his Scottish accent in it!!!

14. Children of Men...loved it in the theatre, and the second time, too. Plus my boyfriend Clive Owen is in it.

15. The Horse Whisperer...my girlfriend is in this one when she was little...Scarlett Johannson...all time classic...cried.

I know there's more, but can't remember right now...The ones I haven't watched yet are Pursuit of Happyness...the first season of Party of Five...and some others...dang...my memory sucks right now!!!

Works going ok. The days go by fast. Gabby is good. Getting taller every minute!

Seriously, your spelling is atrocious in this post. You're getting a dictionary for your 30th birthday! "Happyness"??????

Love movie therapy! I'm watching "Love's Abiding Joy" tonight and I have a few others on my list. Another one I liked is "Raising Victor Vargas". You should rent that one. I'll try to come up with some other suggestions.

Love ya!

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
