Nora Ephron

Just got an alert on my phone that the great Nora Ephron has passed away. Although I have never met her or else everyone I know would have heard the story about how I met Nora Ephron, I pretty much love everything she has ever written/directed. Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, I feel Bad About My Neck...the list goes on and on...and on and on. Her brand of humor was subtle and hilarious at the same time. Her book 'I feel Bad About My Neck' was definitely a memoir about getting older but for some reason, I could still relate to everything in it even though I was not forgetting where I left my keys and not forgetting what my ATM password was. Her comedic genius spanned generations and she will be missed. For sure.

Harry Burns: Had my dream again where I'm making love, and the Olympic judges are watching. I'd nailed the compulsories, so this is it, the finals. I got a 9.8 from the Canadians, a perfect 10 from the Americans, and my mother, disguised as an East German judge, gave me a 5.6. Must have been the dismount. 


...Classic Nora

Hey lady!

Just found this hysterical tumblr...Downton Abbey meets Ryan Gosling apparently.

A little positivity

Sometimes, when one has been having a crappy couple of days, it is nice to treat oneself to a little dose of positive energy and remember that it is not the end of the world. So in the spirit of positivity, here is a little collage that I have put together that I hope will put a smile on the faces of all of those Debbie Downers out there (myself included). Enjoy!

Also, if you are feeling truly down in the dumps, look at the photo below and just let the happiness (and tears) flow out. I could not imagine a happier moment.
