Confessions of a shopaholic

Ok, another chick flick. I was surprised to see a few men in the cinema.

I laughed in some parts but nothing really grabbed my attention about this movie. There was one bit I remembered that was a bit touchy... the wedding bit. For a split second I looked at the groom and he was smiling like a Cheshire cat or a Christmas goat as they say in this part of town. He seemed so happy and eager as the bride walked down the aisle. Now it looked all sweet and exciting but I have heard of men being very nervous on their wedding day. I was told once of a guy who was still telling his grooms men just before the ceremony commenced that he could still take off and disappear. The story was that he didn't love the girl and he was pressured because she got pregnant. My thoughts were in this day and age? Do men still marry women because they get pregnant. Is pregnancy a justification for a lifetime of misery?

Anyway, the interesting thing about today is that it is Ash Wednesday. the beginning of the Lenten season for Christians especially Catholics. I went to mass at 12 noon and I sang some of the hymns I really like.

Last night I had a really weird dream about some guy I went to university with. We never really spoke at school but I guess I have had all sorts of funny thoughts go through my head lately. Last I heard of him he worked for some big shot investment bank and was somewhere in London. I remember him to be a decent looking guy, well dressed and mannered but also quite a reserved fella and what women will refer to as a bit of a slacker. We never kept in touch, never have and all of a sudden he is in my dream, in the dream he has moved back to Nigeria and now runs his own real estate business. He still looks like I remember him in school. It was really weird. Anyway, when I remembered the dream at work sometime in the day, I googled him. My dear these days you can find out anything on goggle so I just thought I'd find out what he was up to and voila. The first results are of his wedding last year. Ok so he is married now, cased closed. Anyway, that’s not it, I spend time on his wedding site and just look around at how he may have changed still school days. He looked a lot of things but mainly happy and content. He had obviously progressed and become a good catch :-)

It's not coming to me today, so I'll end on this note; in all things, give thanks.
