...152 insights into my soul.

...This was said by the insightful and "enchanting" Kathleen Kelly about NY152... her true LOVE. Well my 152 insights to my soul come from the movie it is quoted from- that's right,

YOU'VE GOT MAIL!


I am not a person who usually loved to watch the same movies over and over again... but one that I can is You've Got Mail. And I am one lucky girl because I feel like it is played every weekend on one of the cable channels like TBS or TNT. Well I recorded it last weekend and with not having to work today (even though I should be cleaning or doing something productive) I decided to watch it today and it made me realize that this movie does have those 152 insights into my soul!

I love all romantic comedies... but I think it just shows how wonderful this movie is because the one I like the most BY FAR has the least attractive male role (Tom Hanks) of all rom-coms! Even with his funny curly hair and not-toned physique I still love his character Joe F-O-X! And who couldn't love Meg Ryan (at least her pre-plastic surgery days).

Here are some of the "insights to my soul" this movie offers:
  • If I ever have a dog I think I would have to name it Brinkley
  • The only "Godfather" movie lines I know are from this movie... "going to the mattresses" or "Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday"
  • I hope and pray that I can TWIRL with my daughters in the future.
  • Kathleen/Story Book Lady reads an autobiography, "BOY", by my ALL time Favorite Children's author Roald Dahl. See...she totally is on the same wave length as me!
  • I have a strong desire to write almost "poetically" like they do with each other in the movie.
  • Most of Meg Ryan's outfits in the movie I would still LOVE to wear today- even 12 years later. You can never go wrong with cardigans. But most of all I want the outfit she wears in the last seen in Riverside park- what a cute dress!
  • Above all else- I want to be Kathleen in this movie because she has my dream job. If I am ever rich and have money to spare I want to open my own "Shop Around the Corner" and sell children's books. I want to be able to share my LOVE of children's literature with others. If you know me well you know I always have my bedside table FULL of at least 5 children's book that I want to read (before I have to return them every few weeks to the library). I want to be creative and get to set up cute and charming displays in the store front. I want to be the "storybook Lady" and get to read books out loud- with silly voices too- and have no one judge me for it. I want to put all the purchased books in cute tote bags like in the movie. I want my customers to be "regulars" and know me by name. Some day....


If you EVER are in the mood to watch one of the best movies ever (jut my opinion I guess) feel free to call me us cus I will never turn down the offer!

*** The only other movie that is on the same level with me, that I could watch over and over again, is Little Women!

I agree - such a classic. Talon even loves it! If I lived there I would call you up to watch it.

The dress - yes. It is so cute.

I'm going to have to take you up on your offer...I LOVE this movie and also enjoy watching my DVD over and over again.

Every time I watch it, I feel like falling in love and moving to New York! Maybe when law school is done one / either of those will happen :)

Hope all is well!

One thing that made me smile is, I have ALWAYS loved her wardrobe in here. So classy and feminine. And... remember how everyone wanted that haircut for years after. My movie to watch over and over is Anne or Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea.
