I had the most amazing night all alone in Mexico City last night! I am such a geek.
Fist , I made a list of Goals for 2008... refusing to call them "resolutions" because that would be way too conforming to societal norms (Yes, I'm in denial).
One of them was to actually READ more. I love reading, and book club, and socialing with books club members- doesn't every avid reader? Though I'm not sure I would actually qualify as "avid" quite yet- something to aim for in 2008. Life just gets so busy sometimes and I don't make the time. But since I have now completed my MA, I am determined to return to reading for enjoyment. How I love it! So....while in Mexico City (also known as DF), I decided to actually search for the book I had stowed away in my bag, and actually begin to peruse the pages. I carried the book with me, walked outside my hotel in the Reforma, and searched for a perfect restaurant to read in. As I meandered through the streets, I ran across a local Feria, crowded with families, carousels, magicians, music and street vendors. What a lovely sight it was, but not a great place to settle in to read, so I continued my search. I finally ran across the perfect place- a cute, trendy, restaurant in the middle of the Reforma! I walked in and was immediately greeted by sweet, kind, professional locals. I decided to take a seat at the bar, even though I was the only one seated there. I ordered some traditional cuisine, tacos de pollo that came with beans and guacamole, along with a local cerveza. Then I proceeded with the book, which was given to me a few months ago, called Eat, Pray, Love. In a nutshell, it is an amusing, comical, yet deep book about a woman's self discovery through travel. Turns out it was quite fitting for an American currently in Mexico City. So here I was in Mexico City, alone, reading a great book, enjoying some local food, all while watching the city night lights of the cars along the Reforma- all to say, a totally blissful night for me! How I love the ambience! The only thing that could have made it any better is if I had met a sweet, older couple and shared some conversation about their lovely city. But there is still time for that, so no worries.

Princess Discussion Questions
We believe the message of Princess Bubble is true.
But we also know that sometimes and/or some people have phases of frustration that "Happily Ever After" does not work out the traditional fairy tale way in everyone's life. How do you feel?

Every other fairy tale princess is a victim of some sort.
Do you feel like a victim?
Are you waiting to be rescued?
Do you have to be rescued to have the fairy tale?
What makes you truly happy?
Retail therapy makes everyone happy for an instant.
But what makes you happy long after?
What makes you smile with the memory?

27 Dresses and Princess Bubble
The movie 27 Dresses starring Grey's Anatomy's Katherine Heigl post:
After serving as a bridesmaid 27 times, a young woman (Heigl) wrestles with the idea of standing by her sister's side as her sibling marries the man she's secretly in love with.
O.K., I have only been in 17 weddings! But I was maid of honor 6 times and this movie's concept cracks me up. My younger sister married a great guy; but I was never in love with him nor did I even know him till she brought him home. So, there are a few differences; but the concept is very familar.
I am sure Heigl's character would love Princess Bubble! We have a page in the book where Princess Bubble iThe movie 27 Dresses starring Grey's Anatomy's Katherine Heigl post:

We have a page in the book where Princess Bubble is ask to be in another wedding and the page reads, "Princess Bubble, Princess Swan and many other princesses were asked to be bridesmaids in their (the engaged princesses) royal weddings. They (Bubble and Swan) purchased long, colorful bridesmaid's dresses and dyed satin shoes they were told they would wear again." I love that!
If you have older single friends and you are getting married-don't force them to get out their to catch the bouquet! My mother has tried to force me out on the floor many, many times with only the flower girl. Why can't she understand this is not fun for a 41 year old single standing next to a 6 year old with a group watching!
Be kind to your single friends. Not only do we make up 51% of the population of women;but married women can become single again in an instant. There are no gaurentees in life.
This movie looks really cute. Maybe I should pull out an old bridesmaid dress and wear it again ,as I was promised, to the theatre to see 27 dresses.s ask to be in another wedding and the page reads, "Princess Bubble, Princess Swan and many other princesses were asked to be bridesmaids in their (the engaged princesses) royal weddings.
