SNC weekend

The much anticipated Sex and the City movie came out on May 30 and after much discussion and planning a few girlfriends and I finally got our "eggs in a row" and had a fun-filled girl's weekend. Ok you might have just corrected me with the whole "eggs in a row" comment, but those who know me best know that I actually meant just what I said. I tend to have my own sayings that are slightly (and sometimes not so slightly) different variations to the common phrases we all use. They are called Ericaisms. That can be a whole other post on another day.
Back to the topic at hand. So what did I think about the movie?......My professional review, I liked it. Didn't love it. But I think that is because I had such high expectations. I mean how were they going to finish it any better than they had already done. This got me thinking. Funny how some of the great moments in life can be a let down, just because they are so worked up in your head beforehand... you know like a vacation you've planned for awhile, a New Year's Eve party, graduations, even your wedding day (or so I've heard).

Most of the really GREAT times in life are the unexpected moments...the bliss you do not plan. So I've decided I am going to go against my nature and do less planning in my life. I'll let you know how that goes.

It was great though to see 3 of my favorite people: Lauren, Staci and Mandi! (better known as Carrie, Samantha and Miranda...I'm Charlotte..duh?)


Until Next Time....Blog On!

You know... I felt the same way - the first time I went. I was so hyped up, and I wasn't let-down by any means, but I wasn't blown away. THEN I saw it the second time - LOVED IT! Maybe you should come down to Chucktown and watch it again... with me! :)

There must be an "Ericaisms" post very soon. You "rolled over a new leaf" that weekend, remember?
p.s. I think you have your character comparisons all wrong. We're all Carrie, according to our quizzes...
