You've Got Mail

It's not the best movie ever, but it holds a lot of sentiment for me. As my dog and I watched it tonight, these are a few of the things I felt sentimental about:

+ Cardigans. This movie is what sparked my love for them.

+ Short hair. Meg Ryan was a long-time inspiration for my stylists and I.

+ Living in a city.

+ The dream of having a job that I love to go to every day, and that I can walk to while drinking coffee and enjoying the weather, whatever the weather may be. By the river would be even better.

+ Daisies. They're my mom's favorite.

+ Handkerchiefs. I think I'll make some, at least for the girls.

+ The sound of a computer keyboard being typed on. I do love it.

+ Pride and Prejudice.

It also reminded me that I had a dream the other night that I was using dial up (I think I even chose to use dial up) while everyone else in the room was using whatever else it is that the kids use nowadays.

This Weekend

So far, I've had lots of laughter, hugs (which doesn't happen often enough, and I love the ones that I don't even see coming), knitting, Christmas lights in our living room, good music, and lots of good friends. And it's only Saturday night. There's no reason to believe tomorrow won't be lovely too.

Note to self: don't let your quiet paranoia get in the way of just enjoying these things for what they are - gifts.
