So I walk upstairs to go get the phone to call Hubby because, well, I’m a paranoid kinda gal and hate being home alone. Plus weird things were happening - the toilet seat being up, the bird being out of the cage, I dunno… I’m kinda half asleep so they seemed creepy to me anyway.
Aaaaanyway… I walk upstairs to get the phone. While noticing said bird being out of her cage, I discover what at first looked like rain coming down onto the porch. Nope, welcome to the first snowfall of this winter. It’s only the beginning of November! Shouldn’t it wait at least another month?
I remember in school, just praying to have a white Christmas because there was no snowfall for half of winter break! So um, where’d it come from? Can we make it go back? Maybe stay up there for another, oh, 50 years?
Please?
We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet… I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things… all of it, all of the time, every day. You’re saying ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness’.
–Shall We Dance
Married life is wonderful. We’re not really that different from when we were “just” dating, but there’s the added… comfort. It’s like we’re past the point of being “shy” and having to impress each other, and we’re comfortable with being ourselves.
And then there’s the support factor. I know that I have a wonderful marriage (yes, even this early on!) because I have a wonderful husband. He is behind me 100% of the time. Being prone to panic attacks like I am, I would have expected him to blow up by now. But last night, in the middle of a crying fit, he just hugged me and acted silly until I was hysterical - not sure if I was laughing or crying. Eventually it turned into laughing and kissing and watching TV, with my worries gone.
I don’t know how he does it. I feel like I’ve got to be the luckiest woman in the world. I stay at home all day playing games, while he works all day or all night, and there’s nothing we can really do about that. He provides for me, he cares for me, and he understands me. I could really not ask for anything more from him.
This sums up my role in WoW pretty well.
You know, the kind that only talks to you when they have serious personal drama. You’re like their psychiatrist, only you don’t get paid.
This friend didn’t bother to congratulate me on the wedding (right after it happened) - rather they just went right into the drama they were having. They only say hello *maybe* once a month, and I don’t dare say it first, because no matter what you try and talk about, it’s always the same thing.
I’m probably guilty of this once in a while - I know my American friends in Canada would agree, since I panic more about immigration than anything else. But still, I had to write *something* about it before my head exploded.
That is all.
Hostel
Three backpackers head to a Slovakian city that promises to meet their hedonistic expectations, with no idea of the hell that awaits them.
This movie was so gory that I missed half of it due to my face being buried in a pillow. It was beyond terrifying for me, but I’m a big baby and can’t watch sick and twisted movies. If you’re expecting gore, then go ahead. If you want a movie that will have you checking your ankles before you stand up, enjoy. Otherwise, if you’re like me, don’t watch it.
Cars
Cars is the saga of Lightning McQueen, a hot-shot animated stock-car. In route to a big race, the cocky McQueen gets waylaid in Radiator Springs, where he finds the true meaning of friendship and family.
This movies was amazing. I loved it! Then again, I’m a sucker for anything Pixar, so don’t take my word for it - wait until it comes out and buy it. Don’t rent it, just buy it. You’ll like it, I swear.
Just Like Heaven
A lonely landscape architect falls for the spirit of beautiful woman who used to live in his new apartment.
This movie had me “aww”-ing the whole time. It was funny, and it was sweet. A chick-flick, of course, but still worth seeing.
