An enchanting evening...

As you've probably heard, Nora Ephron recently passed away. She was a fabulous writer and director of some of my favorite movies (and probably some of yours too). In memory of Nora Ephron, we had a "You've Got Mail" movie "date" last night. We even ordered Chinese food in since that felt New Yorky to me. If you've never seen the movie, it is a quirky little number that is an awesome chick flick (or a perfect film to rope your husband into watching a few dozen times, as in my case). As many of my friends so often hear, I love to quote random movies, and several that I quote are Nora Ephron films. My favorites are "You've Got Mail" and "Mixed Nuts" (another random film, but seriously entertaining). I remember the first time I watched "You've Got Mail"...isn't that silly that I have that memory? I rented it as a freshman in high school (I'm really quite young) and I remember working on a science project and thinking that I can't wait to have the kind of cutesy love that this couple has in the film. I loved how everyone described things as enchanting in the movie, and I loved Tom Hanks' 'regular' guy attitude, and I loved the daisies in all the green vases in Meg Ryan's apartment (there is actually a replica sitting on my desk now as I type this...I'm a dork, what can I say).  Well, I'm grown now and thankfully not working on any homework, but I am thankful that I have my big screen-worthy romance. And I'm thankful to Nora Ephron for her awesome work.
