Mary Poppins Redone

You know that opening scene in Mary Poppins where they've put an ad in the paper for a nanny and all these women are lined up at their door waiting? Well, I have a feeling that someday I will come home to find that my mom has put an ad in the paper for me and instead of nannies in frumpy frocks I'll find business men in tailored tuxes and cowboys in denim dungarees. Not that I wouldn't mind for a couple of minutes meeting all those guys, but that's not the way you do it. My mom can't get it through her head that when God wants it to happen, it will. Let me give you an example of the daily struggle I go through with her: I went on one date months ago and made the mistake of letting my mom meet this guy. He was handsome, nice, successful, but their was no chemistry. However, my mom STILL talks about him, MONTHS later, and she has a way of sneaking him into every conversation: "Mom, what time is dinner?" -- "YOu know E., What's his name has the most beautiful eyes, when are you going to call him?" This conversation happens on a weekly basis! Sheesh.

Another friend bit the dust. Her wedding was beautiful, (short! Yeah!) and her husband is great, but with every wedding down, you think, "am i behind on the game?" so then you mentally go through all the single friends left, just to make you feel better that you're not the only one. What's really surreal is when friends start having MULTIPLE children. And I'm not talking started having kids in high school, no, friends who went through college and got married and started having kids. I have more than 1 friend in that situation. crazy.

the devil wears prada was enjoyable. Not an oscar winner, but i liked it. I would totally recommend it for the afternoon matinee or the student discount night. Adrien Grenier is HOT!

that's all, go italy!
