It was really nice.  We talked about books, and life, and food, and everything &#8230; and I am in a place right now where every second I am grateful for.  Every moment is filled with gratitude.  It can be totally awful, but it&#8217;s also great, and to quote Babs at the end of <i>What&#8217;s Up Doc<\/i>, &#8220;Listen, kiddo, ya can&#8217;t fight a tidal wave.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I came home after going shopping at the Pathmark in the next town.  Side note.  You only realize what a ghetto-ass &#8216;hood you live in until you go to a grocery store OF THE SAME CHAIN in another area.  I felt like Boris Yeltsin!  No&#8230;.  Not a drunken Russian standing on a tank in Red Square.  But Boris Yeltsin visiting a supermarket in Houston &#8211; excerpt &#8211; kind of &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=4304\">here<\/a> &#8211; and being absolutely overwhelmed by the choices, the hand-decorated cakes, fresh produce, bread &#8230; Here he had grown up with the belief that the West was evil.  But looking at that abundance in Houston, he was like: What we are doing does not work.  They are doing something right.  Anyway.  It is one of my favorite historical anecdotes of all time &#8211; and I went to the Pathmark 5 towns north of me today and basically I felt like Boris Yeltsin in Houston.  And I seriously wonder if anyone else on the planet but me would ever make such a comparison or would ever even know what the hell I meant.)  Anyway.  I was gobsmacked at the variety.  I had a field day. I went nuts.<\/p>\n<p>I came home.  I took a long walk at dusk.  I came home and cooked dinner.  Well, because I&#8217;m me &#8211; I cooked a shitload of stuff that I will now put in Tupperware containers and dole out to myself for the rest of the week.  I don&#8217;t enjoy cooking on a daily basis.  I seriously wish I did!!  But obviously I like to have food in the fridge (duh) and I really enjoy preparing stuff for myself &#8211; I don&#8217;t know how that works out, but whatever, it does &#8230; Meaning: I&#8217;m not against the Weight Watchers frozen dinners (the new chicken and picante one is my new favorite) and stuff like that, but I really like cooking stuff myself, packing it away, and knowing I&#8217;ll be eating it for the next week.  I&#8217;m weird.  I get it all out of the way in one fell swoop.<\/p>\n<p>And now it&#8217;s movie night.<\/p>\n<p>Time for a favorite.  Recommended to me by blog-readers a couple years ago &#8211; for which I am truly grateful (again with the gratitude).  I had missed it somehow &#8211; and now I can&#8217;t imagine my life without it.  It&#8217;s a go-to place for me, in terms of comfort, humor, satisfaction &#8211; I love every second of this film.<\/p>\n<p>See if you can guess what it is, just from this one bit of the credits.<\/p>\n<p>If you know the movie, it&#8217;ll be a no-brainer. But still.  There&#8217;s something about that particular screen of names that pleases me to my core.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"moviecredits1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/moviecredits1.jpg\" width=\"604\" height=\"471\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had a long conversation with my parents tonight.
