Where's The Sparkle?

Life has been hectic and I've been neglecting my blog. Despite drowning in laundry and a work to-do list a mile long, I am determined to get back into the swing of things. I love blogging because it helps me to remember the little moments that I would otherwise forget, and it reminds me to have a sense of humour in some of life's less-than-funny moments.

A few weeks ago I was able to sneak away for a night out with a friend. We went to see Sex and the City 2, here in Cochrane.  I'm not a die hard fan of the series (I just watched the first movie a week earlier), but I'll admit this one had me chuckling. Carrie Bradshaw has finally settled down with Big, and throughout the movie she's focused on her relationship, has it gone stale? Are they old and boring? Had marriage caused them to lose their sparkle?

It was a typical chick flick, had a few laughs, some romantic moments. I enjoyed myself, after all, a lot of it is true. Mortgage, kids, you do lose some of the romance and excitement that was there when you were just dating (at least I think there was romance and excitement...its been awhile). But we're not that bad. We still make each other laugh, we do on occassion dress up and go out. We haven't lost our sparkle. 

Then I get a text message. I kid you not, this is how it went:

james: im hungry
stacey: Good for you
james: all i need now is you holding my right hand, and a burger in my left!!!

Really, how much more romantic could we get? Eat your heart out Carrie!
