Guess what? I wagged work the other day. Yep, I left the cardmaking aside, left the housework waiting and went to the movies to watch The Devil Wears Prada. I drove the kids to school, hung around impatiently during assembly then made a run for “the Mall”. And what’s more I went on my own. I hadn’t done this for a long time but it felt so good sitting there on my own watching a relaxing movie. Okay, so it’s not deep and inspiring (other than inspiring to lose weight, LOL) but it was fun. If you enjoy reading the fashion mags and know all the designer names then it’s definitely a good movie to watch. Meryl Streep was fantastic, her voice and demeanour were so serene – just perfect for the part. What I found interesting though is that part of the message of the movie was about people who dedicate many hours of their lives to their job and how it ruins their relationships and friendships – it’s weird because the message I got was that (in this movie) the boyfriend and friends of Andy (played by Anne Hathaway) were totally unsupportive of her career. Sure she was working crazy hours and couldn’t socialise as much but she was starting off her career and needed a year to get to where she wanted to – they should have been more supportive, especially since she was making an effort to be with them regularly. I suppose I just see things in a different way to most.
