S is for S&tC and it's symbolism

Today is Alphabee-Thursday.
That means my blog is currently being brought to you by the letter S.
and...
is for

The long awaited opening of the new Sex and the City movie is today.
And I can't go.

This may seem trivial to some of you, but to me, it's important.

This series, which use to be on television, was such a phenomenon. I remember when it first came out, I thought, "Oh how scandelous!" and would not watch it. It was on HBO, and yes, it had it's risque moments that I am not fond of, but deep down, it really is a great story of 4 friends. Ladies who are so different from each other in so many ways are able to share their lives with each other so deeply.

These 4 women go through everything together. They are there for each other. They have different relationships with men, but in the end, they are always always there for each other, no matter what.

I've envied that throughout the whole series.
I've wanted that in my own life.
Friends...who are there...where you live...to turn to....

Oh, I have friends, but my bestest friends all live far away.
And I do have local friends, but not the friendships that are the deepest ones.
And somehow I've lived vicariously through Carrie Bradshaw in 7 years of tv shows and a movie. It's a part of me. I've seen so much of my own life in thier storylines

It's just all very personal.

and I'd planned on going tonight...on opening night, to see the new installment of their story. I was teasingly calling it "my bachelorette party". But now...well, there's just not time. So much still to do before we get married tomorrow and leave for the weekend.
So it will have to wait....til I dunno when.
And part of me is really sad about that.

And that may seem silly to some. I know it does to my beau...but he just doesn't get it. I don't know that most people "get it"...how truly personal this story of 4 friends is to me.

And I'm a little bit sad over it. Even with all that's going on this weekend...I think something will still be missing.
The girls. Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha, and Miranda.

Oh, I'll get over it...but it symbolizes something to me, and it does make me a little sad to miss it.

Silly...I know. with so much to do, I can't dwell on it.

and this is SOO not where this post was gonna go. Not nearly as deep as I intended to be. Now I just sound like I'm whining. It's been a very rough week emotionally, and I was looking forward to tonight, and now it's gone.

But this weekend will be fun. Memphis...Graceland...with my new hubby.
I'm on my last day of singlehood.......

and late for school...so I better stop.
This turned into a major ramble.
There's just too much going on in my head to properly express.

So I'll just wish y'all a great weekend and I'll see you sometime...after I get back, and get moved in completely...I'll be the one wearing the new rings!
