Sex And The City.

I finally saw Sex and the City today! No surprise here, but I absolutely loved it. I was reading some reviews where people said it had no story line. Blah, blah, blah. Not sure what movie they were watching but it totally had a story line. And, it lived true to the series. Needless to say I was not disappointed.
*Big wanting to take 2 days a week apart to do his thing and Carrie do her thing - I actually like the idea and the meaning behind it. But, 2 days a week is too much. Maybe 2 days a month or maybe even 2 days every other week. Not that I want to be away from my husband, but I see where this can be a good thing. It can help from things getting monotonous. And, I'm big on each person having their own freedom and not so dependent on the other. As I write this I am in the bedroom watching The Bachelorette while Alberto is playing Xbox in the living room. Same difference.
*Charlotte having a hard time admitting she is stressed from her kids - Another reason I love Miranda so much. She got Charlotte to open up, even if it took her getting a little tipsy. It's okay to want to lock yourself in a room and let your kid cry. It's okay to feel like you are going crazy sometimes. Us moms wouldn't be human if we didn't want to pull our hair out, scream, cry, or just need to get away. Poor Charlotte just tries too hard to be perfect.
*Samantha getting arrested for being too risque in Abu Dhabi - PRICELESS! Typical Samantha. I love how she stands true to who she is no matter what.
*The women of Abu Dhabi with the trendy clothes under their Abayas - I wonder what the percentage of women there actually do that? I definitely would.
*Big forgiving Carrie for kissing Aidan and taking the high road - After all, Carrie did let him know immediately and felt genuinely bad for doing it. She did make the mistake by "playing with fire" but she learned her lesson and did the right thing.
*Miranda - Loved seeing Miranda quit her job, see her son win the Science Fair, loosen up in Abu Dhabi, and then find an even better job where she is more appreciated. I am most like her character :)
*Favorite part of movie - Seeing Charlotte in Carrie's old apartment taking time for herself. Ironic how she thought Carrie was crazy for mentioning the 2 day thing, but she ended up doing it herself. Good for her!!
These were just highlights I wanted to remember. I love how I can and I'm sure lots of other women can relate to these characters. Big applause to the writers and actors!
