I'm trying to find my way out this January funk I've been in. I've still been quite weepy and emotional the past few weeks but at least, at least we are nearly halfway done with the final separation.
And, on a good note, my mom is coming on Thursday to come hang out with me for the whole weekend, yay! I haven't seen her since Christmas so I'm looking forward to some mother/daughter time.
Last night I took my kiddos to see Chipwrecked on base. I've never been to the base theater (well, except for last Saturday when we showed up an hour and a half early for Happy Feet 2). The movie was eh....okay. I liked the first two better. I love Jason Lee who plays Dave Seville though. I'm glad he stuck it out for the third installment.
Earlier in the day, I watched an incredible movie which might have been my favorite movie of the last year. It was called "Midnight in Paris" and it stars Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams.
In the movie, Wilson plays Gil Pender, a popular screenwriter engaged to McAdams character. They are vacationing in France when Gil starts lamenting about the current time frame he lives in. Then one night, he decides to walk home and at midnight he is transported back into the 1920's in Paris where he rubs elbows with Gertrude Stein, T.S. Eliot, Salvador Dali, Ernest Hemingway, Picasso, Cole Porter, Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald. Truly some of the greatest artists/writers/musicians of our time!
I loved the movie for two reasons. One, I can certainly empathize with Gil Pender's character and wanting to live in a different time, or feeling like you weren't born in the right time. Two, I love that he has to confront his reality and change his situation proactively instead of just sitting on the sidelines of his life. I was inspired by this. It made me think a lot about my life and where it's been lately.
Anyway, that's my latest update. Working on it, working through it!
