Current summer song obsession (be prepared to get hooked):
Went to see Peter Pan this week at the Performing Arts Center here in town; it was much more fun because a friend and I took her five year old. Experiencing things through the eyes of a child is refreshing and fun. It is honestly joyful! Here's a funny quote that made me laugh while we were at dinner with these friends and their five year old this week: "Renee, do you have children?" (which by the way, a five year old saying children instead of kids is kinda funny just in itself. My children will speak just as well...I hope!) I replied that I did not yet have children. She looked at me very confused and just said, "Then why do you have a husband?" Hummm good question! Then she said, "Well do you want children?" I said someday. And she looked very concerned and said, "Well, you can only have them one at a time. Don't wait too long! Then you'll be old!" And there you have it.
Today I spent my Saturday at a yard sale with my Life Group playing with babies, drinking coffee, seeing a few students from this past year, and rocking on the porch swing with a friend. Not a terrible way to spend a morning! When I came home I ate cookies, napped, and watched You've Got Mail and The Wedding Planner back to back. I've been on quite the movie kick lately! I especially like the old movies, well when I say old I can also include the 90s in there :) Every Saturday growing up I would watch super old musicals on PBS (because that's what you do when you don't have satellite TV growing up and you're waiting for Lawrence Welk to come on....that's embarrassing...only old people like Lawrence Welk haha but I LOVED that show) Anyway, all that to say that old tv shows and movies really make me happy. Here's a few of my favorites from the 90s movie marathon this weekend:
The Wedding Planner
Mary: I thought I could control everything, and I can't. Did you ever like somebody, but the timing was off? Way off? You feel things you should not be feeling? I'm not making any sense.
Massimo: You make much sense. You long for him the way I long for you. You need to learn patience. Love can't always be perfect. Love is just love.
Mary: My mom used to say that.
Massimo: Your mother was a very wise woman.

Steve: Why you only eating the brown ones?
Mary: Because someone once said they have less artificial coloring because chocolate's already brown. And it kind of stayed with me.
Steve: You kind of stayed with me.
You've Got Mail
Joe: You know, sometimes I wonder...
Kathleen: What?
Joe: Well... if I hadn't been Fox Books and you hadn't been The Shop Around the Corner, and you and I had just, well, met...
Kathleen: I know.
Joe: Yeah. I would have asked for your number, and I wouldn't have been able to wait twenty-four hours before calling you and saying, "Hey, how about... oh, how about some coffee or, you know, drinks or dinner or a movie... for as long as we both shall live?"
Kathleen: Joe...
Joe: And you and I would have never been at war. And the only thing we'd fight about would be which video to rent on a Saturday night.
Kathleen: Well, who fights about that?
Joe: Well, some people. Not us.
Kathleen: We would never.
Joe: If only.
-------------------------------------------------------
Joe: Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.

(ps: a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils sounds perfect, yeah? I mean, hellloooo, charming haha)
Happy Summer everyone!
