The Ways “You’ve Got Mail” changed my Life!

I know you know I love You’ve Got Mail.

132

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

    you know i love this movie, too. it makes me happy and i love a happy ending -- especially one where the heroine is wearing the prettiest outfit ever!

    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!

  8. Hi, Lisa! I love all book stores and libraries big and small!

    I 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! ♥

  12. 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.

  15. 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!
