Sunshine

Alright, look.

Yes, I tend to find deep, ridiculous amounts of meaning in the most mundane, everyday things. It drives people crazy. I realize this.

I especially take great joy in being a movie freak. I don't get a whole lot of time to watch movies, and in fact, the last movie I watched in its entirety was "Eragon" when it came out on DVD.

HOWEVER - last night, my husband decided we needed to have a movie night. "Of course," I said, "as long as I can write the newsletter while we watch it."

He had DVR'd "Little Miss Sunshine," and you need to know that I had absolutely no pre-determined expectations about this movie. None whatsoever.

The newsletter did not get written until long after the movie was over.

I laughed so long and so hard that my belly and my face are equally sore.

I have NEVER in my entire life seen a movie like this before. I really want to say something deep and meaningful about how it touched me - made me a better person - blah, blah, blah. None of those words even come close.

If you have NOT seen this movie, you must. I insist.

I feel like a better person for having seen it.
