"You've Got Mail"... =)











I have been super on-the-go for the past week...and I had not even seen my bed/couch in 3 days. No kidding...no sleep...no nothing.

So, today when I got home at 6pm, I was "done"...no more "go" was going to be wrung out of me...so I snuggled down into my electric blanket with the pups and kitties, and slipped off to blessed sleep...and, OMG...how good did THAT feel! =)

I slept for a few hours, and awoke to "You've Got Mail" on TV.

=) =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =) !!!!!!!!!!!

SUCH an absolutely divine movie... =)

A movie in that rare class of movies which were just ABOVE all others when they were made...timeless little jewels which just make your insides smile and sigh with delight...and this is definitely one of them.

A few networks have been running this movie in conjunction with "Sleepless In Seattle" this holiday season...and whenever I stumble across them in the midst of a channel-surf, I immediately jump on my board and catch that wave. ;)

Now that I have made so many true friends on-line, as well as reconnected with friends from my youth, I understand the allure behind those three little words: "You've got mail".

Even though my computer does not actually TALK to me when it delivers that message, seeing the little blinking icon above my in-box when I sign-on to my email account, or when I am notified by MySpace or Facebook that I have a message...I do get a little thrill...

...the thrill of opening an unexpected little present just for me...

A present of "WORDS".

For a lover of words...the written...the spoken...the doodled...the printed...the as-yet-to-be-spoken...

that is a pretty cool thing.

Mmmm...the 3 hours of sleep in 3 days has made me nostalgic and "floopy" ("floopy"--a nod to Phoebe on "Friends". ;)

Anywho...I DO dig my email...and electric blanket...and furry little pups and kitties snuggling-up to me on a cold, blustery night.

The colorful twinkle of Christmas tree lights dance nearby...as I watch a warm and comfortable movie, knowing that I do not have to BE ANYWHERE right now...nor do I have to DO ANYTHING right at this moment...

Sheer freaking BLISS.

I love knowing that so many important people in my life are just a click away...connecting us in an instant all over the globe...and being able to reach out and just say: "HI!" =)

Pretty damn cool.
