What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
I felt the same way about Dirty Dancing. I had no desire to see it when it first came out because it was all everyone was talking about and I actually got kind of tired of hearing about it. I didn't see it until I was in my 20's and then I realized why people liked it so much. I am not surprised it is still considered a classic today.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid I did not like A Christmas Story or Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. As an adult, I really listened to the subtleties with the humor (especially with the wonderful narrator, Jean Shepherd in A Christmas Story) and appreciated it so much more. Christmas Vacation is always good for a laugh and being the hockey fan I am, years ago I bought me and the hubs Griswold hockey jerseys and we'd go to the games with our little moose cups at Christmastime.
