And you are?

"I'd say, you have to find what you want and then figure out how you're going to get there."

"Those are two very difficult things."

How Do You Know?

Yes, I watched the flop of a romantic comedy last night with Tera and Bekah.

"I didn't even get half of the movie," said Bekah laughing about the whole bizarre theater experience.

We showed up about ten minutes late, which may have been crucial in order that we understand the movie.

On screen there was a lawyer (or someone) who had lost his job due to his father's scandalous acts (what the father did, we're not sure). So the guy is pretty low in life. But the main character we follow is Lisa, (I think that's her name?) who is a 31-year-old ex-USA softball player trying to figure out which of the two guys she'd rather have, or whether either is right for her. The other guy, her boyfriend, is a super-jock baseball player who throws out dating realm words like "monogamy" and who writes her a deeply felt apology note after she left him the first time: "I went nuts when you left. I broke a lamp" (that part was funny).

Off screen we spotted a couple testing the waters in PDA. They were diagonally to the left, a spot where no one would see them (yep. nope. we saw them). When Reese Witherspoon cried for two minutes with toothpaste all over her lips (I know) the adolescent couple (we determined they were about 16) guaranteed our entertianment. "Oh my! He is really going at it" we whispered to each other. Then fifteen minutes into the movie they were still going, then twenty minutes, then thirty, forty, and so on until the movie was finished. Thank goodness the arm rests move. For their sake. We assumed their story: both their families were home and they couldn't get the privacy they wanted. So they spent $15 (hopefully he paid) to "watch" a movie. There are so many other options. Just saying.

We left the theater laughing. Laughing. Laughing, then when we were on the curb a man in some vehicle yelled at us to stop laughing.

After a rough week in so many ways, it was good to have Bekah and Tera to be ridiculous with.

And maybe it was the character Lisa (?) in the movie. Her great dilemma. What she said about how the girls who just want to be married and to settle down after their softball careers are lying. They don't know what they want.

And this psychiatrist guy tells her to "figure out what she wants, and then work to get there."

Maybe the writer of the movie had a good idea there. "Figure out something." So I may be making goals today and implementing--get ready for it--a plan. That's a big step for me.
