Before This River Becomes An Ocean

I know, I know, sorry about yesterday. I am not sure why I was so down. I definitely was looking fantastic, I had gone to bed much earlier than I have for the past five years, the sun was shining, and I was able to accomplish a myriad of tasks at the office. I don’t know why I let the one missing peg in my life affect me so much. Shouldn’t I just be happy with the 100+ other good and fulfilling things in my life?

Yesterday I had two dinner invitations and Jenny and I ended up at Amy’s house for some delicious food. The first day I met Amy, she taught me how to make Fry Bread and we seem to take every opportunity we can to eat more.

Jenny and I rounded out our evening with another $5.00 movie. Not having cable, Jenny and I have filled most of our evenings watching old forgotten movies or various episodes of TV we have on DVD, but the other night, Jenny and I ventured to the 2 for $10 bin at Wal-Mart and picked out movies that seemed okay.

Not expecting much, we sat down Monday night to our first straight to DVD movie choice. We were greeted by a true mess of a movie. A story about a girl who wants to be a book editor, however, the movie never quite wrapped up that storyline, or in fact, any storyline it began. Dating an older man, issues with her father, her insane new boss, her desire to advance in her career, her father’s out in left field sickness and just as quick death, her boyfriend that recently returned from Europe, her creepy, purvey brother, her ability to make amazing grilled cheese sandwiches, the negotiations with the rockstar author, nothing seemed to make it to full resolution, just small snippets of a story here and there.

Jenny and I quickly came to realize why this movie was in the $5.00 bin. But I did wonder how and who thought that would be a good movie to make. Please just promise me if I ever make a movie, please buy all of the copies before it gets to the $5.00 movie vat. As we pick though all of those movies in search of something half viewable, I always feel bad for those people who put so much of themselves into making a horrible movie.

That is about it for today. Just counting the long minutes until lunch.

Thanks for all of your continued support

As Always,
