RO F LMBO

hah! sorry, dude.

I actually JUST finished reading PS, I Love You.  I really liked it.  I found her story to be very interesting.  I liked that she's one of five children, because I'm one of five children and you don't really see many stories about large families.  It was hysterical to see the similarities between the Kennedy siblings and my own! 
One of my coworkers and I LOVE the movie and she is reading the book currently as well and she and I are planning a trip to Ireland because of all that!

@becksue - I'm finding myself more and more into the idea of traveling through Ireland. This book definitely helped. Also, knowing Daithi (do you know him here on Xanga? He lives in Cork and posts on Ireland regularly) helps. I've also been reading Maeve Binchy's books, most of which take place in Dublin.

 I need to re-watch the PS I Love You movie now that I've heard the book. My father-in-law had a brain tumor in the prime of his career...he was newly made a General and was expected to go on and earn more stars. My husband was in college. I watched the movie with my MIL and with Steve's aunt, the sister of his dad. My MIL was SO MOVED by the movie, and opened up to me more than ever about what it was like to face losing her husband with two young sons still in high school and Steve not graduated from college yet. Her husband survived, but he lost chunks of his personality and his quick mind...he was apparently a real mover and shaker and was scary-intelligent. He still has his same sense of humor, which I love. But, to me, he has a lot of autistic type characteristics nowadays like getting stuck on a topic of conversation.

If you haven't read Maeve Binchy, I highly recommend her books, though I wouldn't necessarily go back to her early books (I haven't read them, so I can't recommend them, but some friends said they're not as gripping as her newer books) like Circle of Friends. I'd more recommend Evening Class or Nights of Rain and Stars as a starting point.

@Made2sing4Jesus - Oh, and thanks for the rec

@alterEGGO - Yeah, sometimes it ruins my flow.

@alterEGGO - Fine! Just plugging away at my job, looking forward to the job being done but not the lack of paychecks, and getting ready for the writers conference this weekend. How about you?

haha funny post :)
Thank you for the comment, made me see things in a better way. Yes unfortunately maybe things won't work out the way my heart wants them to but I will always have the memories, I guess sometimes that's more than enough and I should consider myself lucky to even have these kinds of memories.

@BigToePeople - ROFL! 

@UnworthyofHisgrace - No, I haven't seen it yet. Let me go to your site...
