I know you know I love You’ve Got Mail.
I just in the past few months have had a rediscovery of the movie and have been really surprised at how much of it has made me do or change things.
Nothing life altering, really superficial, but you know how when you get in your head you need to do something or get something and then later realize why you had the idea. Well that is what this is like!
1. Introduced my to Pride and Prejudice. I was an old fan of Sense and Sensibility but my interest was peaked and even though it was years later I read and watched the BBC version and well I’m HOOKED!
2. Starbucks. I was not a coffee fan until I went to Starbucks!!
3. Started a Love/Hate relationship with big chain bookstores. Avoided FOR years Barnes and Noble, BUT I gave in and I am now a card carrying member of B&N!!
4. Teaching me to use reusable shopping bags! The Shop around the corner had their own great bags!!
5. Made me want to get a Laptop not a desk top computer. I didn’t have one for about 2 years after I saw this movie. But I have only ever had a Laptop!
6. To want to live in a small but perfect space!

Need I say more?
7. To write to people I don’t know online.
Blogging!!!
How great is blogging??? ♥♥♥
8. To be the Nicest person I can be!
Kathleen is the BEST!
By the way do you remember the Puppy Song from the opening credits? How could I not like this movie!
Now you know a little more about me and about how I am a different person from one really great little movie!
Hugs, Lisa

i agree, there are so many wonderful and inspiring things about this film. i can't tell you how many times i have gotten a short hair cut the day after watching. i once even brought the dvd to the hair salon. crazy!

Hi Lisa,

I love it how things have changed your life, and I think that is what life it all about, growing, changing and doing different and new things.
Thank you, for being a sweet blogging friend.

Ditto, You are so funny, I to copied somethings from this great movie the glass french doors going into the kitchen ,I had to find a enamelware bread box like hers under the table in the kitchen , I could go on.....
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this movie, too! There's such a sweetness about it. Plus, I met my husband online, so it sort of hits home! :-)

Hi, Lisa! I love all book stores and libraries big and small!
ReplyDeleteI love so many things about this movie,too but I always think it's silly in the movies when online relationships go to the "next stage" and they meet but have never shared a picture! ♥
I've still never seen that movie! But I keep hearing how great it is, and how nice her apartment is. One of these days...
ReplyDeletethat was a cute movie, but she is the cutest!!!! funny how seeing something can change our lives...for the BEST!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute post Lisa!! It is so neat where we find inspiration without even knowing it! I love a small cozy home too :):)
ReplyDeleteLove ya sweetie,
Amy
I haven't seen it since I came out. I think I will rent it. Thanks for your kind words about Homer. We are coming a long but still accidentally call him or call one of the other dogs "Homer". I know you miss your Casey, too and I hope you are doing even better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post.....don't you love it when you are inspired to make some life changes....now matter how great or small.
ReplyDeleteKeeps life interesting.

Isn't it amazing the influence a movie can have? I love this movie too. I wasn't so enthralled when it first came out, but I have come to love it. I always loved her apartment though and the little bookstore. Have a terrific week Lisa!
