After lots of family and food and on-the-go Thanksgiving-ness (that I am thankful for), I was ready for a change of pace last night.

I cooked a steak, accompanied by baked potato, Brussels sprouts (don’t grimace, I love them) with carrots, and a nice bottle of wine.  I prepared to watch Last of the Mohicans, which I’ve had out ready to go for several weeks just because I’ve been aching a bit to see it again.  (I love that movie and haven’t seen it for several years.)

So, why did I turn on the TV just to see what was on instead of popping in the planned DVD?  Why did I watch Something’s Gotta Give on AMCHD with commercials?!?!

I don’t know why, but I did.  After all, I try to avoid shows with commercials unless I have DVRed them so I can zip through the breaks.

But, I think last night I just wanted to watch something easy.  It’s a romantic comedy with a lead I can relate to on one or two levels (though not her fabulous house!).  Maybe that’s what pulled me in?  Or, maybe it’s just that we all like to dream sometimes about how it would feel for everything to work out…
