I like ones that end in smiles.

I thought I wanted to take a bath.
After I had stopped crying, a bath sounded good. I even said it out loud. "A bath sounds good."
But once I got there, [in the tub] the water was too hot.
How does one make the water too hot? It seems fine until it's completely full. Until it's too late. [That reminds me of the frog thing-- you know-- if you put a frog in a pot of cold water and let it slowly boil, the frog wont notice and will let itself boil to death.] [Rather than putting it in a pot of already boiling water. Then it will have the sense to jump out.]
I brought a book with me to the tub, like I always do. And I only read a few pages because I was too hot. It was sweltering in there, I'm telling you.
Before the bath, I watched Nights in Rodanthe.
Now
[I don't care about beautiful-this and raw-that. Give me cheap and fake and unrealistic if that's what it takes.]
During the movie I decided to program the remote to the DVD player.
If you know me, you already know that I no longer have the code list that came with my remote. I threw it away, of course.
So I got online. Everything is online. Should have the code in a jiffy. Up and running in 2 minutes flat.
It wasn't.
I didn't.
Nope.
Thirty minutes later, I found myself throwing a fit. Tears of rage, "why me" questions coming. Perhaps a few curse-words.
I decided to just finish the movie and go to bed.
If you know me, you already know that I didn't bother to pause the movie [it was all the way across the room!] because I was sure that I would find the code and then be able to use the remote to rewind.

I'm really hoping that a lot of juicy plot happened during the thirty minutes that I missed, because all I know is that I finally stopped crying over the code-less remote, positioned myself on the couch and found myself watching
Paul die.
He had only known her for a weekend and
then they wrote letters the entire time he was in some other country with his son who
he hadn't spoken to in a year because somebody died on his operating table and
his wife had also divorced him at some point which
is exactly what had happened to Adrian, except her
husband left her to marry some young hot thing and
her daughter hated her and now her husband had decided
he wanted to come back and he loved her after all so anyways
adrian and paul fell in love that weekend and through their letters decided
they wanted to spend their lives together but unfortunately, as I said just before
Paul died
in a mud slide in whatever country he was in
and then the movie ended.

I mean, come on!!!!
