Happy endings

Tonight my oldest and I watched a chick flick when her siblings were in bed.

We laughed, cringed and even felt like we needed to cover our eyes once or twice.

In the end though,

my daughter headed to bed before the movie finished....

It was pretty late.

Me, I had to stay until the end.

For what a long ago friend, used to call a "Suz" happy ending.

Yes,

I'm a dreamer...

Ever hopeful.

I want the hero or heroine to choose correctly,

to do the right thing,

I want the problem worked out

and I want the Prince to be waiting for her....

Sigh,

who doesn't like a feel good movie?

Two thumbs up for The Devil Wears Prada.

Movie time!

I love movies!


I enjoy everything about them!

I like the way the world slips away in a darkened theater as the screen comes alive and how I willingly step into another world.


I like happy movies, scary movies and even kids' movies!


I especially like movies where the characters never give up despite having difficult circumstances.
(I guess you could say I'm a sucker for a happy ending!)


Although I enjoy going to see a new picture on the "big screen", I have to admit that watching movies at home can be just as enjoyable. (And, I suspect, for many of us with children, more likely to happen frequently!)


(I bet you can tell where I'm headed with this one...)


Today I am suggesting that you pop some popcorn and let everyone choose a movie!

Make it a marathon event and watch everyone's choice or vote and pick just one.

Regardless of what you choose, enjoy the comfort a favorite movie can bring. Seeing a hero or heroine save the day (or escape from giant spiders), brings everyone together! There is a certain comfort in knowing that good triumphs over evil, Nemo finds his way home or that, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians! (1964...a truly camp experience... don't blame me... I found it for a dollar! I bet you probably could too!)

Dig through your old movies or find a new one! if you are really lucky maybe you can head to the theater!

Have fun and don't forget the popcorn!
