Stress Free in Pink

After a very long, stress inducing, headache riddled week, when I arrived home Friday evening I was ready to destress.  I spent the weekend getting every ounce of residual stress out of my body.  I opened a bottle of wine and poured, put on some music and sang out for the world to hear while dancing in my kitchen, spent some time with my beautiful niece, whose only care in the world is giving hugs and trying to get someone to put on the movie about the "baby dogs" (Lady and the Tramp), making my grandma's chicken and rice soup and enjoying it with my parents while my dad told stories about eating it as a kid, and finally as the fat-free icing on the stress-free cake, what do I find on television tonight...Pretty in Pink.  I'm sure if any one's reading this, some of you just groaned at the thought of Pretty in Pink. I do not care.  You can't bring me down or change my mind.  I love this movie.  It's my favorite Brat Pack movie.  I love everything about it.  The eccentric Andie and the straight laced Blane falling in love while fighting the odds.  And sure that's the story line in several John Hughes films, but there's just something about Pretty in Pink.   I've seen it probably 50 times at least and I'll likely watch it 50 more.  I can hardly wait to watch Iona tell Andie not to waste good lip gloss, or Duckie profess his undying love for Andie while riding his bike by her house, or for Blane to chase Andie out of the prom....oh 80s movies, you're the best stress relief ever!
