Valentines Day!!

Ok, so all this talk about "Love Actually" and with Valentines Day approaching it has got me thinking about this movie that I have been seeing previews for.  I am SO EXCITED to see it!!  Of course, I know, it probably will not be on near the same level as Love Actually, but the premises seem similar, and they both have these fantastic casts, with all these different, inter-twining relationships.  I think it will also be a romantic movie but with a fun playful twist on Valentines Day itself.  It opens February 12.  I can't wait!!

I am also excited for this.  Though I know that it will be sad ( I insanely love and loathe Nicholas Sparks forthis purpose).  My mother bought the book, and I told her I wanted to read it, but this was right after the pumpkin was born, and I was just trying to stay sane, much less sit down and lesiurely read a romantic love story, so I never did read it.  Once I gathered myself back together, and conquered Mommyhood, my mom offered it to me, but after she called me late one night balling talking about how much she "hates" (loves) his books because they always end in tragedy, I steadily declined becuase I knew someone must die.  So, I know I am asking for it, but I want to see it.  I also think this Tatum fellow is somewhat of a little scrumptious muffin! 

I did the same thing with The Notebook.  I had seen the movie with Mandy Moore, A Walk to Remember, and I LOVED that, but just couldn't get over how she dies in the end.  I also loved Message in a Bottle, but thought it was terribly sad too.  I refused to watch the Notebook, and then a couple years after it came out, I decided I would watch it after some girls at work were talking about the book.  This was when my hubby and I were first together.  I picked it up after a short day of work and classes, he comes home, and I'm sitting on the couch balling my freaking head off, and he thinks I must be nuts!!  And, I just keep talking about how they had this incredible love story, and this is my favorite movie of all time, and I can't believe what I have been missing out on all this time, and how I was going to watch for a second time right then.  And just like that, I was hooked on his stuff.
