I'm in love.


I know I haven't mentioned it here, but if you've spent much time with me in the last month, you'll know that my new favorite all-time movie is Dan in Real Life.

And Friday when I got home from work, the soundtrack I had ordered from the movie was on my doorstep.

I cannot tell you how much I love it.

Okay, maybe I can.

I love it. A lot.

If you liked the movie, do yourself a favor and get yourself a copy of this happy, happy music.

Asia told me this afternoon that if he wasn't married to me, he would never listen to music.

Which I took as a compliment - because that means I'm exposing him to good stuff.

Melodies. Harmonies. Lyrics.

I LOVE music.

Love how it can transform my mood and put words to my unspoken heart.

It pulls me out of myself just a bit.

That's why I can hardly worship right now without tears flowing endlessly down my cheeks - the combination of beautiful music and lyrics directed toward my Savior are so poignant to the broken heart that inhabits my chest... it forces huge heaving sobs up from beneath the daily distractions.

So some music is a little too strong for me right now...

But the Dan in Real Life soundtrack?

It's perfect.

How can anyone cry through a song named Ruthie Pigface?

Good stuff.

    Agreed. Loved, loved, loved this one. The actress is one of my all time favorites. She was excellent in Chocolat as well, another favorite of mine. Did this movie make you think of us at the beach in about 10 years with all our kids and their kids? It did me.

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
