So I had these great asperations to be more consistant with my blogging. But I recently went through a major life change. I got fired. And it wasn't that tramatic losing the job itself. The trama really comes from the realization that my life right now is nothing like I want it to be. I have no savings and of course my car decided to break down again and make me pay another $700 to get it fixed. So it's time to get a new car. I got a temporary job at a warehouse shipping fabulous shoes to various places. Another reminder that the life I want is very very far away. And the job is exhausting ten hour shifts in a hot warehouse where my feet ache after being up on concrete all day. I better lose weight from this job. And I pray to God every moment I can that another temp job in an office will rescue me from this job. Because I know I'll be miserable if I have to stay in this job. And did I mention that I have to work Sundays which I hate because I miss church? And they won't let me change the shift so I can get Sundays off. Sigh...definately not the life I want.
Which is why I love to escape with TV and movies. Like right now, I'm watching The Holiday. A christmas movie technically yes, but it doesn't focus on the season so I guess it's fine in March. I love the idea that two women switch lives and travel to another part of the world to find themselves. I'd kill to do that. Especially if I get to meet a sweet, sensitive, gorgeous guy like Jude Law or even a cute, funny, charming,talented guy like Jack Black.
I also discovered The Carrie Diaries. I never watched Sex and the City until they got on TBS, but I got the whole series and watched it and the movies. I love the second movie especially. The whole escapism with fabulous costume changes may be cheesy and not Oscar winning drama but it made me dream of looking as fab as Carrie Bradshaw does in that movie. I even bought fabric and patterns to make my own version of the dress Carrie wore to meet Adian. And a thrift store wedding dress to recreate the outfit Carrie wore in the market.
And as I said I recently found the Carrie Diaries. Who knew I could escape into the eighties? I mean I was born in 1984 when Carrie was sixteen. But I find myself relating with a young Carrie Bradshaw. So close to the life she wants yet so far away. Maybe it's not a coincidence that this new series has started right when I need it most. When I need a new escape and an old role model to keep dreaming for the life I want. And did I mention that the Holiday went off and I'm now watching Failure to Launch with Sarah Jessica Parker? Coincidence? I think not.
