Pischina: diary of a grown woman

2004-01-25 - 12:32 p.m.

I just got back from Aptos and it was one of the most beautiful days there I have ever seen. It rained hard Friday evening and Saturday morning, and it was cold yesterday, but today it was just all blue sky and sunshine.

But I had to leave it because our washing machine broke and I had to take our laundry to the laundromat. It wasn't that bad though, I'm already done and at home with the blankets hung up outside and the rest of the clothes in the drier.

We saw Big Fish yesterday. Oh Gosh. Go see it. Most of the movie was just a real fun sweet story, but Oh My God the second the son started telling the story of his father's death I started BAWLING. Great heaving sobs. I kept waiting for Scott to look over at me because he loves teasing me about my little crying things but he never did. That's because he was crying too. He finally looked over at me when the credits started rolling but I was beyond being ashamed of my tears at that point, and he was crying too, and we just needed a second to recover. So I put my head on his shoulder while I finished crying, and he was quietly crying too. Then we wiped our eyes and left the theater to go have some hot chocolate.

It wasn't a depressing movie like 21 Grams or Mystic River, it was one of those happy/sad crying things. If you didn't shed a tear by the end of the movie you just aren't human, I mean that. So anyway, Happy Movie, Go see it.

And now, unless you want to hear more I Love Scott Forever, I decided to borrow a quiz from Catie, and you can borrow it from me too if you like.

Instructions:

1. Copy this whole list into your journal.

2. Bold the things that you have in common with me.

3. Whatever you don't bold, replace with things about you. I didn't pay attention to this direction at first, so take note, ALL 100 are about me, the bold ones I have in common with Catie, you bold what you have in common with me then make up new things about YOU for the rest.

Please add a note if you do it so that I can come read it!

Edit: Well this really sucks, I forgot that for some reason bold tags don't work in this layout. Well, all 100 things are about me, but you won't know what I have in common with Catie without checking her page. Anyway, you can still use it in your own page too. Oh well.
