Huge.
Really huge.
Well, you can't really count the scene in the movie, "We Bought a Zoo", which made me cry (for those who've seen it .... the video from the park ..... need I say more?). I was not aware that the lead character in the movie (Matt Damon) is a widower.
What's the deal with me going to these movies and not knowing this one very important fact? How did that knowledge totally escape me?
Fortunately, I loved "We Bought a Zoo" and was able to get past the widower part, after the initial shock.
The George Clooney movie .... I did not get past.
That one was too difficult for me.
Another one that I don't think I'll get past, and I don't plan on seeing, is "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close". I can't even get past the preview without crying.
I read that it starts one year after his death.
One year is not long enough.
Not for me.
I love Tom Hanks.
I love Sandra Bullock.
But I know better than to put myself through that.
At least for now.
Anyway .... other than at that movie .... I have not cried or felt surrounded by the "blackness" that has enveloped me for the last month.
I'm finally starting to feel normal.
Well, normal for me.
Other than Son #1 having to take the cat to the ER vet Wednesday night, it's been a pretty good few days (he either has a kidney infection or UTI .... but is now doing much better.
No big plans for New Year's.
I'm going to dinner with Son #1 and Son #3.
Well, technically it's dinner.
But it's going to feel more like lunch.
Our reservation is for 5:00.
Yep. Five.
As in, "Who, under the age of 65, eats dinner that early?!"
I'll tell you who.
People who wait until the last minute to make a reservation.
OK, I have to stop blogging at this moment in time to say that I'm watching the OU bowl game (Go Sooners ..... I rarely ever say that) .... and can NOT believe that the sky cam just fell onto the field .... almost taking out a player!!!!
HOLY COW!!!!!
OK, I am now returning to my regularly schedule blogging.
Whatever.
So yeah .... dinner at 5.
And then ..... maybe a movie, maybe hanging with friends.
Yes. Wherever I am .... it's always a party.
Huge party.
I wonder if I'll even be awake at midnight?
Last night we watched the Baylor bowl game.
Talk about HOLY COW!!!!!
What an amazing game!! It looked more like basketball than football.
I was proud of the Bears.
They did a great job and really did "Sic 'Em"!
OK .... another aside. They've just suspended the game until they can clear the sky cam wires from the field.
Weird.
This is the second night I've watched a football game late into the night.
In a row.
I'm practicing for Monday night.
For THE bowl game.
Well, THE bowl game to me.
The Fiesta Bowl.
Go Pokes!
OK ..... that's it for now.
It's after midnight, the game is almost over and OU is going to win.
I need to go to bed.
I just thought I'd come on, say "hi" and let you know that things are better.
Much, much better.
Thank God for good meds.
Happy Saturday/New Year's Eve, Peeps.
Stay Safe.
:)

I'm glad to hear your spirits are up!
I agree about Extremely Loud... no way I'm going to put myself through that, either!
so glad that you are feeling better. I know too well those days of depression and endless crying - I too am thankful for good meds, and a good therapist who often sees "the signs" before I do and makes sure those meds get adjusted when needed.
Looking forward to taking the kids to see "The Zoo", know the plot and am thinking I can handle it. Hadn't heard about "Extremely Loud" tho, so thanks for the warning - I will keep that off my list, pretty sure it would be way too much for me as well. Hope you have a wonderful New Years Eve with your loved ones. Best wishes for a peaceful, stress free, healthy 2012!!!!
So glad that things are "looking up"...wanted to wish you a better year for 2012.
I became a reader via your Claremore V connection....I have come to admire your tenacity and spunk! Thank you for the 'Go Sooners' and I will be saying Go Cowboys (which I do EXCEPT for Bedlam!). Praying for a blessed 2012 for you and yours.
