Sex and the City - a few spoilers

So last night I went to the movies with Tess, Charlynn and Samantha! It was a fun night! I met Tess at the scrapbook store and we did a little shopping.....well, I did a little shopping! Tess did a LOT of shopping and I eventually had to DRAG her from the store kicking and SCREAMING and foaming at the mouth :)

I think Tess likes my favourite scrapbook store hahahaha! I didn't get much - a chipboard album from the sale table and some bee stickers - but it was double stamp day so I really should have spent more money lol!

Andrea phoned to say she couldn't make it (this is becoming a habit Andrea and now I am paranoid lol - you know this right???????? If you keep not showing up I'm gonna think you don't like me!!!!!! Lol ok ok I'll tell everyone you had a valid reason and you sent me a lovely email this morning but STILL.....lol j/k !!!!)

Then as soon as Andrea hung up the phone rang again and it was Samantha who arranged to meet us at the mall. So we headed off there and got something to eat and met Sam and ate and then went to the cinema and got our seats nice and early but not early enough because everyone else had the same idea and the only decent place with 4 seats together was the very back row!!! So thats where we sat!

Then I ran out to meet Charlynn (so nice to see you again Charlynn) and we got in line for some snacks and Tess comes out to find us and joins us for some snacks (that was so much fun lol) and we thought we were late for the movie...we raced in only to find we weren't late at all! Then Charlynn started throwing popcorn around.....(how childish is THAT???? Of course me being all mature threatened to call security...I mean she was trying to throw it down our tops......
OMG!!!!!! So funny :) Then Samantha who was wearing a top too high to get popcorn down actually lowers her top so we can get better aim!!!!!!

But alas the fun has to end and the movie started....

Tess announces she is in love with Big...and Kieth Urban is in fact actually her number two guy....and Ryan her husband...well I'm not actually sure what number he is.....lol! Poor Ryan! Then when Big proposed (poorly the first time) we compared Ryans proposal with Lloyds proposal and were laughing a LOT because RYan and Lloyd are so similar - and both soooooooo CHEAP!!!!! They will get along so well :)

Oh and in case you don't know how Lloyd proposed to me, we were sat on the sofa in Scotland and he muttered to me 'So Whats the cheapest we can get married?'

Romantic huh??????? ;)

Well, it made Tess laugh :) I think she may well have spat out her cola ;)

The movie itself was wonderful - I laughed, I cried, I clapped out loud (omg I think I was the only one in the cinema that did (Lloyd would have cringed) and I REALLY cried at Charlottes crying angry face when she was hugging Carrie in the street after Carrie had hit him with the flowers....to me that just summed up their friendship totally - that whole thing about friends being there for one another through thick and thin.

The movie made me miss all my best friends from back home. It made me want to go and hug Lianne and have coffee at her house. To go have lunch at the garden centre with Lynne. To go out for dinner with Mandy or just go round to her house for a good natter. To spend the day with Faith just chatting about EVERYTHING and catching up over a bottle of wine. OMG to do the same with Kara over a bottle of plonk in Spain :)

Of course to spend time with Julie but she died and I know I can never have that time back with her.

All my closest closest friends like Sex and the City are so so far away and moving here has meant starting new friendships in a completely new culture. Over the last year or so several new people have come into my life and a few have become very special to me - and finally just recently I have learned and felt that a few of these might actually 'fit' :)

I have friends that I can cry with, laugh with and be me with. I wonder if any of them will be there when I blow out the candles on my 50th birthday cake.......
