A Present For Myself

We got out of our staff meeting a bit early, so I packed up a bunch of stuff to grade, tossed it in the trunk and headed for the mall. Even though some nasty bug is trying to worm through my innards, I was bound and determined to continue Christmas shopping. Things were going along well and I realized I'd only have one more outing for gifts. I could've gone tonight, but traffic was already choking the highway. So, I decided to come home after my last stop in the Hallmark store.

Well, there I was searching for cute little gifts, when what should appear right before my eyes? A movie I've seen once that I absolutely LOVED and have wanted to own since it first aired. Even though the movie aired on the Hallmark channel, it never actually occurred to me to look for it in a Hallmark store. Yet, there it was whispering, "Here I am! Merry Christmas to you, Chris!"

I had a bunch of grand plans for this weekend to make it whiz by, but since this bug's messing with my stomach, I think I might just sit on the couch with a cup of soup and watch my movie, The Magic of Ordinary Days with Keri Russell and Skeet Ulrich. And maybe tomorrow I'll sit with a morning cup of tea and watch it again.

Trust me on this-you'll not only watch it again tomorrow, but this movie will find a permanent place in your heart (and DVD player)!

If you haven't seen Skeet's new TV show, "Jericho", he is phenomenal as Jake Green. Every bit as mesmerizing as Ray Singleton (minus shy and awkward), but yet another kind of hero. Sigh.......

I concur with anonymous #1. I loved that movie and have watched it about 10 times already. LOVED Skeet and now own almost everything he has ever been in. Watch Jericho regularly.

Oh, yeah, I LOVE Jericho! I just wish it wasn't on hiatus.

I agree! I just LOVED The Magic of Ordinary Days. There is no one more adorable than Keri Russell!
