I am watching one of my all time favorite movies right now, Something's Gotta Give. I love, love, love this movie. It makes me want to learn to speak French, learn to cook more, and can I just tell you how much I really, really, I mean REALLY want that house in the Hamptons? In case you can't tell, I would totally recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it.
One of the best things that I like about this movie actually doesn't have anything to do with the movie at all. Do you ever notice how things like a song, a smell, or in this case a movie can take you back to a certain point in your life? Well for me, watching this movie makes me think of May 13, 2009. This is my youngest daughter, Emme's, birthday. Not knowing what kind of television channels I would have access to while in the hospital, Brent decided to make sure that I would have plenty of viewing choices and brought his laptop and a handful of DVDs with us. I was induced at 6 a.m. and Emme was born just before 11. Later that evening Brent went home to get a shower and grab a few things, but before he left he put in Something's Gotta Give. So me and Emme spent our first night together watching this very same movie that is playing on my television right now. Its hard to believe almost two years have passed. I really don't know where the time goes. Oh well, I guess if I ever want to re-live that sweet night, all I have to do is pop in a DVD. And one day when Emme is old enough, we can watch it together and I can tell her the story about how we watched it the day she was born.
