"And I just loved you."

I'm watching "Sweet Home Alabama."  I haven't seen this movie in ages.
It's pretty good.  Like most movies today, it has some things in it that are totally unnecessary to the plot that could be taken out and that would make the movie a little cleaner - but other than that, it's pretty good.  Watching it again brings back all the memories of when I watched it the first time, and that's the longest story of my life.

Okay, maybe not THE longest, but a pretty long one anyway.

I took today off, even though it's Friday.  I didn't really get a day off this week since I had volunteer orientation at the hospital Monday and Tuesday morning, and Wednesday afternoon, and I feel like I've been on the run for a good amount of time now.  I needed a day where I could say, "Alright.  What do I want to do now?"  And after I do that, I can do the next thing that I want to do.  No plans.  No expectations.  Just...open.  Put some gas in the car and just do whatever.

That might be selfish, but I haven't gotten to do it for a while, and I won't get to do it for another while, so today was the day.  I cleaned some, drove out to Dale (woo!  Mini road trip.  I loved it), went to Starbucks and read my book (Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy), went to Walmart and got some new flip-flops (the last two pair I've bought have been the wrong size) and some new earrings (studs - I can't wear dangly ones when I volunteer at the hospital), and then came home and had lunch and started watching the movie.

Who else knows what will happen today.  Maybe I'll write some more later.  :)
