Ah blogging is highly therapeutic.
Tonight, I just had a lovely girls' night with some ladies from church. We watched As You Like It. It's the best Kenneth Branagh movie since he divorced Emma Thompson. The videography and score were amazing. The acting was pretty good too. However, it was fairly long, and by the credits, I was ready to bow out and go to bed.
Watching the movie makes me want to have a Joanna and Jill here! I would have loved dissecting the film with them as they quote random Shakespeare lines to me. It's hard having them so far away. I would like to share in their joys and their trials more. Then, sometimes, I could kidnap them and take them to Disney princess cartoons like when we were younger.
Now that times are changing, perhaps I should steal two nieces and take them to a Disney princess cartoon. :-)
In the meantime, I'm still hoping for my happy ending. Unfortunately, life isn't as neat and tidy as princess cartoons or the conclusions of Shakespeare's comedies. Happily-ever-afters apparently rely upon feasible budgets, work schedules, and to-do lists. Well, I guess that's life.
