P.S. It’s Great

I’ve been keeping a low profile this weekend, mainly because of my new grandson and also because my nerves have had enough. I decided to go rent a movie and that alone made me want to invest in some diet pills because, quite frankly, I’m just way too fat. My sister and I were having a girl’s night out (which included the oh-so risque 5 cups of coffee, a trip to the 24-hour mart, and a movie rental) and it ended up being both depressing and giggly (I have no other word for how my sister, aged 32, and I, aged 34, were acting last night).

I was watching “P.S. I Love You”, which is a fantastic movie, and every single woman in it was stick thin. Hillary Swank, who did a phenomenal job of portraying the grief-stricken widow trying to get her life back, actually inspired me to throw away perfectly good popcorn. How can I ever compete with those abs? I don’t have enough time in my day to work on mine. It was slightly disheartening. Kathy Bates saved my sorry sense of self-confidence because she is both pleasingly plump and gorgeous. She played Hillary’s mama and stole every scene she was in.

My sister and I both agreed that we need to go to Ireland for some “site” seeing. “Site” being code for “Yummy Dudes”. Gerard Butler (who is actually from Scotland) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (neither from Scotland nor Ireland) really made us melt. Of course, I have loved Harry Connick, Jr. forever and he was in it, so there was plenty of eye candy.

The story was nice too, I suppose. The idea that her husband, who knew he was dying, left her notes to help her grieve is beyond romantic and heart-breaking at the same time. I just really wish Hillary was a little on the meatier side. Ok, I joke. I am, admittedly, quite jealous. The women in the show are all beyond gorgeous. I like to pretend that if I moved to NYC I will suddenly become svelt, classy, and highly pursued. Of course, it won’t happen and I can blame Hillary Swank today. She won’t care.

I loved the movie and plan on adding it my girlie-movie collection. It’ll be good for when I need some “no husband” time. Just pop it in and watch him escape upstairs to lots of testosterone on ESPN.
