Because yesterday was our actual anniversary DAY, we thought it would be fun to send the kids to bed early and stay up to watch a movie together.
We’re hard core, I know.
My husband picked the movie. I protested. He assured me it would be fine.
“It looks like a good movie,” he said.
“It looks like she dies,” I argued.

And of course she does. Pregnancy aside, there’s a writer in me that gets so attached to characters. I made a rule three years ago after watching PS: I Love You.
I would NEVER watch a movie where a movie centers around the death of a character.
I thought I was being generous by breaking that rule last night… I thought I was being kind and caring and thoughtful of my husband’s feelings.
NEVER AGAIN will I break My Movie Rule. NEVER!
I’m still devastated over the whole thing, and I’m walking around my house this morning feeling like one of my close friends died of colon cancer last night around 11:30 pm.
I had to leave while the movie was playing because I literally couldn’t breath properly. I had to run to the bathroom and clear my head of a variety of mucus (muci?) and begged my husband NOT to pause it while I was gone.
“This needs to get over with,” I said.
A Walk to Remember.
PS: I Love You.
A Little Bit of Heaven.
You’re ALL blacklisted.
Does anyone out there have a list of any more movies I ought to blacklist on account of death? I really don’t mind Little Women because the movie doesn’t center around Beth dying.
I don’t think it’s wrong to want to spend your “relax time” watching something that lifts rather than depresses or scares or haunts or confuses.
I just want to laugh and smile and clap and get flutters. And if I’m going to cry, it’s going to be because Meg Ryan gets me every time.
Do not watch Million Dollar Baby with Hilary Swank! I honestly wasted an entire roll of toilet paper on that one. I watched it 5 years ago and I still tear up when I think about it. P.S. Happy Anniversary!
