Cute Old Couples

I get such a warm fuzzy feeling when I see a little old couple walking down the street hand in hand. They just look like soul mates :) These days its so easy to get disillusioned with marriage especially with divorce rates rocketing. Its sometimes good to be reminded that marriages can still work 30/40 or even 50 years down the line! More power to those who commit there life to another person.

I had a sad moment though the other day as I was standing in the queue for Starbucks (which was incidentally snaking out the door grr!). I noticed a little old couple sat opposite each other on a table. The husband was staring out the window and the wife was staring into space. In the good 10 minutes I was there neither made eye contact or spoke a word to one another. You see it in restaurants too - a middle aged couple have made time from there hectic schedules to go out for an evening together but then find that now the kids have upped & left they have nothing in common anymore (maybe I'm over analysing or reading too much into that situation!). Its sad to think though that they have nothing to say to one another. I guess this presents the other side of the story & its so easy to see how the passion & love can fade with time :(

I hope I end up like the cute old couple & not a lonely old spinster with only my house full of cats for company!

Andrew in my pocket

I just wish I could bundle up Andrew Lloyd Webber & carry him around with me in my pocket wherever I go. He would put a permanent smile on my face as he is just the cutest little gremlin of a man that i have ever seen. His mannerisms are hilarious & when he gets that little twinkle in his eye. . .

Magical Movie Moments

If life was like the movies wouldn't everything be so much simpler?! Here are some movie moments I think every girl shud b entitled 2:

> Spontaneous outburst of song & dance:- if every1 knew all the words & all the choreography then we cud all have a perfect musical moment whenever we wanted.

> Kissing in the rain:- against all odds you've finally got your man. Then, as you go in 4 that perfect movie kiss the heavens open. Just think 4 Weddings & a Funeral or the Notebook

> Theme tune (shudnt every1 hav 1!!):- you've just walked out on your sleazy cheating ex-boyfriend/boss in true Bridget Jones style to the music of your very own theme tune. After that kind of an exit how cud u not go on to find a Mr Darcy look-a-like

> The shampoo ad moment:- you're sauntering down the street in a pair of killer heels. You flick your hair like sumthing out of the L'Oreal adverts ('because I'm worth it'). Every1 stops 2 stare and a passing cyclist rides into a lamp post (Not sure this is from a movie, but it just shud be!)

> Last dance:- the heroine is feeling sorry for herself and her hero has no doubt made a mess of things. Suddenly, the band strikes up that final song and the girl is swept off her feet as all is forgiven. For this moment we onli hav 2 look to the that timeless classic that is Dirty Dancing - "No one puts Baby in a corner!"
