Life Lessons


The past few weeks have been hard to say the least. Readjusting to life off the mountain while being confronted with some pretty tough issues has been quite a challenge. I saw a movie this weekend (with my friend Britt who I love!) that I had been dying to see and finally had the chance. The movie was "The Waitress" and for anyone who truly knows me - I am a huge Keri Russell fan (she's Felicity to me). The movie was hilarious - great characters (Kristy you would love it). The movie has some pretty heavy issues (an abusive and creepy husband, getting pregnant with an abusive creepy husbands baby, having an affair with an equally creepy doctor, having no money and no life, etc.) all the while dreaming of a better life making pies. I guess you just have to see it. It spoke volumes to me and the rather dysfunctional life I am living at the moment. Leave it to Felicity!
Pray for me - my back is really bad right now and I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow.

You know how to fix your back, right? Come back up to the healing mountain air at Pondo! Hope the next couple of weeks are better than the last couple. Sorry I missed sushi.

Thanks for the shout out, Jo! I have heard great things about "The Waitress" from my English professor friends--you're not pregrant with a creepy guy's baby are you?! J/K!!! So sorry about your returning back pain--and so soon after your surgery. Is it a new pain in a new place, or is it the same old pain revealing itself again? I guess it really doesn't matter if it hurts, huh? I'm sorry! Smooch. . .there, I kissed your boo-boo. Love you much!--Kristy
