Dear John





Dear Channing

Thank you thank you thank you. I could not care less if you never win an Oscar / bafta or any metallic statue. You Rock. For 2 hours and 11 minutes I couldn't take my eyes off you... you made me laugh and cry and swoon (mainly swoon) and I really hope you are signing up to do more movies where you surf without a shirt and look manly carrying a large gun. It would also be good if you could do a movie that has another crying scene 'cos that melted my cold heart and was worth the price of admission alone. It goes without saying that if things don't work our between you and the Mrs ... and you fancy living in suburbia... with a couple of kids and a whopping mortgage ... I could totally be your perfect match.


Dear Amanda,
Even though I HATED Mamma Mia and I think you are given the crappiest story lines in Big Love... you have hit the jackpot in this movie. For most of it you are luminosity personified on screen and joyous to watch... you make me want to grow my hair long and invest in a curling iron. I will try to forgive you the fact that you got to do the pretend offtymagoofty with Channing.


Dear Zarraffa Coffee Guy,
It is as embarrassing for me to say as it is painful for you to hear "Can I have a Grande, Skinny, Decaffeinated, Mocha , triple shot, extra hot, no cream" Just build a bridge and get over it.
Also it may be a pain that the checkout operator forgot to tell you it was a take away order... but really there is no need to throw my chicken wrap into a paper bag with no love at all... its not the wraps fault you work at Zarraffa Coffee.


Dear Mrs Tatum,
I have four cautionary words for you ... Mr and Mrs Smith. If I were you (oh if I were you....) I would be steering the hubby towards more art house films that involve more working with Helena Bonham Carter and less pretend offtymagoofty scenes with pretty young starlets.


Dear VYC,
Thanks for last night. Sorry about the seating snafu... How about next time we go to the moves you chuck a completely disproportional tantrum about other patrons not unreasonable behaviour... Thanks this would make me feel less like the emotional spaz I am.
Finally Dear John Soundtrack
You are all mine
Love E xxx

I had the best night eva. What more could a middle aged woman ask for on a night out with her bestest: tears, tantrums AND our ovaries jolted back from hibernation (no, thankYOU Channing) Am disappointed his missus looks so lovely, my hopes are dashed, she may just be the reason he hasn't called me....

I may just have to drag Sam to see this movie for my b-day. He will hate it and I will love it.

My favorite is Dear Zarraffa Coffee Guy...

I am dying over the Mr and Mrs Smith comment

Amanda Gibson said...

Yea, that movie was good, right? I loved it. And I think Channing Tatum is so freakin' hot. I think I'd like one of him for my very own.

House of Smiths said...

K... so I saw this post earlier, but I had to wait to comment, because Cason was hovering over me reading it too.
I FREAKIN' LOVE Channing!
WoooooooHoooooo.
He is SO my type. HOTTER than HOT!
And I DIED when I read your post. SO true! What is it about him? His face... the eyes... DREAMY!
oh gosh... okay
Well I have to tell you THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the SO cute books and such, for the girls!
They LOVE them!
This might sound funny, but they are obsessed with the calender! lol.
They play "doctor" with it... and flip through the "chart" and talk to each other.
"what are you here for?"
"do you need some med-cine?"
lol.
It's really cute!

Aubrielle is TOTALLY into the Wombat Stew book.
She has had me read it to her like 6 times TODAY! (thanks a lot. lol)

Really... they were SO thrilled about the mail. You are SO sweet!

The girls have a thank you card for you. Can you email me your address, so I can send it?
Thanks!
Shelley

I just found this while looking for your food post label.

Oh Channing. I have loved him since I saw "She's the Man." I actually refused to see Dear John because I 1) don't like Amanda that much at all, 2) did not want him to fake offtamagoofty-ing with Amanda, and 3) was worried he would die at the end since it is Nicholas Sparks after all...

(And I am totally going to begin incorporating that word into my regular vocab.)

This post endears you to me all the more. I wish the best for Mrs. Tatum, too.

Lauren in GA said...

Oh, my gosh, Ex! I am so glad you linked this post because it was written before I, "knew" you...and it is HILARIOUS!!! I laughed all through it.

I think it was so kind of you to advise Mrs. Tatum like that. Truer words were never spoken. I hope she heeds your advice.

And not only is Channing dreamy...he also likes brunettes...as seen by his beautiful wife (I think her name is Jenna)...it proves he's gorgeous and has impeccable taste.
