you've got mail.

Nora Ephron passed away on Tuesday. What a genius woman. Sleepless in Seattle, Julie & Julia, and of course, my favorite, You've Got Mail. I can think of no better way to honor her than with a movie night.

And with that, I now sit the floor, staring at Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, creating a beautiful story. 

And maybe I'm quoting almost every line along with them.

Never mind the fact that I have to be up in five hours. There are more important things to be done.

Question: why haven't I seen When Harry Met Sally?? I feel like that might be a sin...and something to change in the next week of my life.

Also, sometimes my mom makes a face that reminds me of Meg Ryan. Maybe that's why I like this movie. That, or its charming story line and dialogue. Either way.

My head is starting to get fuzzy...

Sometimes you have a bad day.

Sometimes Mondays just suck. Eloquent, I know. But it's true.
So. Sometimes you gotta fix that.
So you text your best friend, who helps you justify every emotion and frustration you felt throughout the day and offers to bring you candy.

Then you drive around and listen to Daniel Powter. That's right, "Bad Day." Going for a cliche, folks.
Then you read this talk. And then watch this video. And maybe you cry your eyes out and it's fine.
Then you watch Friends and then you go to sleep. 
Because "a good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything."
And that is how it's done.
