I had so much in my head before!
1. Last night I watched "Jerry Maguire" again. I know, I know. It's like a torture device, and yet I pull it out frequently enough to wonder if I should be keeping the sharp objects out of my reach.
Yes, I cried and cried at the end. Big crocodile tears and everything. But this time it had nothing to do with the pain of forced/failed relationships or the cynicism that always appears when movies end too perfectly. No, this time it was the pure beauty of sincerity. And I'm not saying this to wax philosophic; it just hit me that in the beginning of the movie, you have this guy who leads a fake life, complete with fake friends and fake tools of happiness. Then he loses it and ends up finding true sincerity. So, so much better.
In my life I would rather have sincerity than all the money and shallow cronies in the world.
2. I think the boys are planning to go out tonight. Sans moi. Oooo. I feel a chick movie marathon coming on.
3. This may sound silly, but I'm kinda excited about it -- a couple of weeks ago I set this weight goal for myself, to be reached by the time we leave for Texas. And I reached it, with our departure date still two weeks away. So yay, now I can wear my almost-white, incredibly old jeans from high school. Not to be confused with the shirt I'm wearing today, which apparently screams "please stare openly and freely at my breasts."
4. Grad school = game on. We're working out the specifics next week, but I've gotten the unofficial commitment. Oh, education, how I have missed thee.
5. Wait, there was more before. My head is leaking.
