Serendipity

[angie r]

I just got home from the movies for "moms night out." We saw Serendipity with John Cusack and it was delightful!!!! A feel good movie with the perfect ending. Greatfully lacking obsenities, distasteful sexual scenes and violence.

GREAT MOVIE *****

Maybe I can get Dh to take me to see it for my birthday!!! I appreciate reviews on good clean movies...

I'm hoping the rest of my family actually remember my bd this year last year both my and my dh's families forgot it. Well, I did take my sil out to eat... Lol. She couldn't afford to go out... Dh gave me a pretty nice birthday though. But it was dissapointing because both families usually make a big deal out of birthdays and my foster family has NEVER forgotten my birthday since I have been in their family. And of course for dh's birthday mil gave a big party with friends and family invited. I already feel like the family doesn't like me and then to be forgotten? GRRRRR>>>>>> Oh well. Maybe I will suggest a movie to dh... :)

Thanks for the good review!!! I'm not a prude but sometimes it's refreshing to find and go to a movie that isn't full of obsenities and sexual scenes and violence. Too bad there aren't more of them around. :) Now all I have to do is convince dh to take me or find a friend who wants to go. LOL

How sad... you must have felt just terrible! Did they EVER remember it? I remember one year my sister totally forgot about her 2 year old dd's birthday until a week LATER. Ugh! She felt just terrible and really made it up to her big time but after that she never forgot it again. LOL I'm sure you won't be forgotten again... and I hope you can get dh to take you to the movie... it sounds like a good one. :)

Well my birthday is next week and my mom hasn't called to arrange dinner together (she usually calls ahead of time and sets up sunday dinner at her house.) They all remembered a couple weeks later last year. I haven't heard a word from anyone but my dh. He keeps teasing me that he doesn't remember the date. He has stopped since he realizes how hurt I am from last year. It is so frustrating having my husbands family go all out for he and his twin sister and then totally forget mine, when I already feel like they don't like me (this year more than last year). I know it doesn't really matter and that I am probably being selfish. I just want to be reminded that people who are closest to me care that I was born! Isn't that what birthdays are about? I think the hardest thing is that when I was in foster care my biological mom never called me for my birthday (and still doesn't even though we are close now.) Last year, my foster parents forgot my "adoption birthday" too. They celebrate the day they got each of their adopted/foster children like a second birthday. They had never forgotten it until that year. It was my 5th year as their daughter. I thought it was kind of special. My foster mom gets annoyed because her birthday is the same week as Christmas every year. But we do celebrate it.

Sorry this is so long... I guess I'm venting...

Why don't you remind them? I know you want them to remember on their own, but sometimes people get busy. I know dh and I have forgetten just about everyone's birthday at one time or another - his Mom, my Mom, his sister (who we're really close to - we forgot that one for about 7 months!).

[netmechwife]

I reminded my family the week before. Dh's family knew. That's why I took sil out to dinner.

But you are right. I should remind everyone this year too.

My mom called to invite us to dinner for Sunday for my bday!!! yeah!!! My sil is getting married this coming Sat. So dh took me and the boys out to dinner fo my bday tonight. :) I am so sorry for complaining before...

Sounds like a good movie AngieR. I am going to have to see if I can get someone to go and see it with me.


netmechwife Don't feel bad about venting. I feel exactly the same way about my birthday as you do. It is the one day that is totally yours and you don't have to share. (at least most of the time)

I'm glad your mom remembered... somehow I figured she would. LOL Usually after they've forgotten it once they make it a point to NEVER forget again. LOL I hope you had a great time out with dh/boys... and also a good time with your mom.

Don't ever worry about venting, I think we've all done our share of that here... I know I have. :)

I had a nice dinner w/ dh and ds's and a good time at my mom's. Dh reminded his family and they invited us to come for dinner on Tues. And Dh has a romantic surprise for Tues. night! He got me a metal pitcher to froth the milk for flavored coffees with my cappuccino machine and a bottle of irish cream flavored syrup for it. Feeling better...
