This would actually be a good post title for me on most days lately. The life of a working single mom with a 4 year old girl chatterbox could really just be described as that.... Seriously, she would not be quiet today. Constant.......
So, I had a couple of thoughts that I wanted to share with you. "Things to make you go hmmmmm" if you don't mind my borrowing a line from C+C Music Factory. But I am too brain dead to give them any sense.
So what am I doing? Watching "Lara Croft". I love those movies. I wish they would make a third. I love that Angelina Jolie does most of her own stunts. I love the scene where she is flipping around on the bungee cords. I imagine that I could certainly do that but then I remember that it was a little freaky doing that exact thing at a carnival one time and I couldn't even do a front flip. I thinked I eeked out one.
But then I let myself slip back into a world where, yea, I can do that! Afterall, that is why I love these movies. They let me slip away into a fantasy world; and I can take on an alter ego where I am strong, smart, independent, and have a rockin' figure. And they give me a little inspiration to wake up and get ready to kick some butt the next day....
And,yes, I do enjoy a good thought provoking drama or enticing thriller or dreamy romantic comedy; but "Lara Croft" is pretty much what I need when I'm brain dead: a chance to escape.... even if just for a moment.
