Why Oh Why, Meg Ryan ?!!? . . .

One of my most favorite movies ever is "When a Man Loves a Woman" starring Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan. It was made in 1994 and is the story of an airline pilot (played by Andy Garcia) and his wife (played by Meg Ryan) who are forced to face the consequences of her alcoholism when her addictions threaten her life and their daughter's safety. While she enters detox, he must face the truth of his enabling behavior.

The way Garcia's character looks at his wife in this film takes my breath away. I'm getting butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. : )


I laughed and I cried during this very poignant film. I also fell in love with Meg Ryan as an actress and wanted to be her, even if it was just for a day ~ tall and skinny with gorgeous blue eyes and a haircut to die for!!


This weekend, I came across this current photo of her and I wanted to cry. I know that getting older in Hollywood is not exactly welcomed with open arms but, for the love of God, why do you have to go to a plastic surgeon and completely take away the beauty that you were lucky enough to be born with? I'm all for being tweaked here and there but when you start to have an alien look about you it's time to stop.


Goodbye, Meg Ryan. I'll miss you and your adorable former self!! : (


Many blessings for a wonderful week ~ Wendy

A Lazy, Rainy Monday . . .

A perfect day for sleeping late . . .


















Lounging around in bed . . .












And just plain ol' doing nothing at all.


It must be nice, huh?!!?






Here's wishing you a happy "lazy, rainy Monday."


My favorite kind of weather!! : )

Happy Monday . . .

My wonderful husband let me sleep in this morning. I woke up around 4 am and couldn't fall back to sleep. When the alarm clock went off at 6:15 to wake up son #1 he told me to go back to sleep and that he'd take care of the morning routine. I woke up at 8:15 which is like sleeping until noon for me!!

When I walked down the stairs, this is what was waiting for me in the living room. The three muskateers!! Julian, Tyler and Brendan walk to school together every morning after meeting at our house, watching a last minute or two of Cartoon Network, wrestling with the dogs, rolling around with each other on the living room floor, complimenting each other on the "cool" clothes they were wearing and just being the wonderful boys that they are. Don't you just love their smiles?!!?

May your Monday be filled with all the things that make you smile. : )

Many blessings ~ Wendy
