Mama Mia!

First, always trust
Charlotte
if she tells you that something is a good time.

Second, three kids and a husband does not make it impossible to decide on a last minute night out with your girlfriends. Hit the speed dial and just do it. At 39 I sort of thought my spontaneous and silly days were past, but no.

Three of my girlfriends (we missed the fourth, but she already had plans, darn.) and I went to see Mama Mia! last night. We laughed until we cried, and Ginger and I even tried a little chair dancing. There was cheering and clapping- during the movie, and talking to the screen! In front of us were five ladies who about 15 or even 20 years older than us and they were also having a ball. They did keep begging Pierce Brosnan not to sing, which made me laugh even more. I was actually giddy as we left the theater.

Fourth, don't be afraid to embrace the moment, and if that means cranking Ginger's ipod and dancing in the theater parking lot, then go for it. I honestly can't remember that last time I had such free and silly fun with my friends.

"Momma Mia here I go again...." I'm still singing. Thank God I had it on my ipod! Thank God for my Father's wide musical tastes!! (Who I got the ABBA greatest hits from before I realized I even NEEDED it.) I'm so glad my friends will dance with me in the parking lots and theaters!

Some friends and I (including cousin Deb) went to see Mama Mia too, and had so much fun! Later I heard a movie review that described it as being dipped in a vat of estrogen. LOL! I thought that was a great description. It was a really fun night!
