The 1st of September

So what happened on this day in my life? What inspired me? What do I appreciate? For the first day of this project, it sure was a boring day. I was so tired. It's been a long week of not a lot of sleep. 5 am sure comes early. When I got home this morning at 8 am, I checked my email, updated my blog and then got my pillow from off my bed. I threw it on the couch and then threw myself on the couch. Naptime!

I haven't had a nap all week. It felt good. It was one of those long luxurious naps. Sure, a waste of time, I know. But it was needed so I could continue to function. So today am I thankful for naps.

Tonight we rented a movie: Elizabethtown, starring Orlando Bloom and Kirstin Dunst. I wanted to see it for the obvious reason-- Orlando Bloom-- and also because it was filmed in the town where my daughter lives. It was a very odd, disjointed movie. But it spoke to me. There were a lot of quotes from this movie that I loved.

Some were just funny--
"I'm going to miss your lips. And everything attached to them."

"It's hotter than the hinges of hell. But at least we have stars!"

Some were inspiring--
"If it wasn't this... it'd be something else."

"I was still waiting for everything to start, and now it's over."

"Sadness is easier because its surrender."

And my favorite, maybe it's because I think it sort of describes me:
"I'm impossible to forget, but I'm hard to remember."
