Introducing My New Feature: Random Movie Lines With Mary

I've always felt that certain people can be gauged on a level from 0 to 12.52 based on both the movies they watch and the scenes they find as emotionally compelling - or comedic - as I do. During my post film-school dating years, I wouldn't look twice at a guy who didn't appreciate the comical genius of the Cohen Brothers "Raising Arizona." In hindsight, my taste in movies proved to better than my taste in men. I know many people will relate to some of these and MAYBE, just maybe, they will become enlightened and intrigued enough to check out some oldies, but goodies they weren't interested in BMB (before my blog). That sounded quite harsh and a bit superior, no? As if my blog could change people's lives. Muwahahahah. If fitting, the movie lines I post will pose as some parallel reference I'm experiencing in my life - while sharing some of my most beloved dialogue created to emote feelings we sometimes never realized we had until seeing "that" movie...Ah, the power of good filmmaking. I'm sure glad I majored in it. It's done a world of good for my career *insert sarcasm.*

Absence Makes The Heart...Beat Faster

Back with a vengeance from my company's annual conference. SO exciting seeing my ladies upon my long-awaited, cry-inducing return.
My sweet mom, who along with my weakened, but getting-stronger-day-by-liver-growing-day-until-chemo-starts-back father, helped watch the girls while I was away enjoying fine wine, great food and a bevy of single men who ran around, catering to my every need...NOT!
Although I missed the girls, and my heart would race as I heard them start to cry during our one-sided telephone calls, I did enjoy sleeping solo in the large, soft bed and watching old movies late at night w/o fearing I'd wake the under five crowd.
Absence made both me AND my daughters realize how much we love and need one another. Or at least that's what my parents told me as they happily returned the little rascals Tuesday afternoon. Thanks Mom and Dad-I'd e lost without you. And my little women:)
