Julie & Julie

Just watched that movie... not something I was interested in at all. But it was Megan's birthday and she picked the movie. In case you haven't seen the previews it's about Julia Childs and a chick named Julie that makes all the recipes in Julia's cookbook in a year and blogs about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjvJHsJD8ic

First of all, I just want to say, surprisingly great movie. I was on the verge of tears the whole time. But it wasn't sad. You just get to see these two women (both real by the way, based on two true stories) living great lives.

Julia is just completely freaking joyful. She talked about leaping out of bed while she was going to this cooking class and I turned 5 shades of green with envy. She has a great marriage. She lives this awesome life, seeming to embrace every moment until her 90's.

Julie just became the person she'd been trying to become... in a year. Also, had a great marriage.

I am very happy in my life. I have a great marriage. Fantastic kids. Nice job. Awesome church. Lovely house. Really, truly blessed in every way. Yet, I do no leap out of bed. I have not figured myself out, been trying way longer than a year. I don't think there is anyway possible I could blog everyday for a year and hold ANYONE'S interest.

I am actually only "blogging" tonight because I have been thinking about starting to keep a journal. Only I seem to have developed this one "old woman hand" that hurts when I do various things (like straighten my hair, squeeze out shampoo, open soda bottles, normal stuff that I should be able to do) and I think writing something this long would hurt said "old woman hand". Also, I am pretty sure nobody reads this. So seems to be the perfect place to break down my thoughts. lol.

Ok, it's a start. See ya tomorrow.
