sparkle

had a great day today.  church in the morning, followed by lunch with my little family, then movie with my girlfriend.  Some christians might find this scandalous but I actually like 'sex and the city', it's hilarious and sometimes surprisingly relevant to this girl's life.  And I get to escape into a life of fashion that I have no idea about...seriously the clothes they wear on that programme are nearly always beautiful.  Carrie's home wardrobe was enough to make me feel like I need to upgrade...and that was her scaled down :)

Plus i saw my 1st episode last year...and then watched every series ever made for the next few months on foxtel which showed episodes every night.  When my brother died I needed to laugh and the 1st episode I saw made me laugh so loud I had to watch more.  Of course, I fast forwarded the many sex scenes, thanks to my IQ box which let me watch recordings.

So that was the movie I saw today.  Apparently not great reviews.  But if you're fan it's still great fun and leaves you feeling like celebrating everything girlie...I want the green dress, nightie probably for Carrie, that she wears in the final scene :)

So she was worried her marriage was losing it's 'sparkle' and it made me think just how important that was in a marriage. I've been with my man for 20yrs and I can honestly say that my marriage has lost some of it's sparkle...and if you've seen the movie you will know I'm not talking about sex.  And I want more sparkle because to spend 50 years with one person is going to take more than just sharing every day life together of kids, meals, work, chores etc.  I love my husband but sparkle ...that's like something only lovers can share.
