Today while talking to a friend she made the comment that "she imagined her life would be more glamorous" and it got me thinking, because I think frankly we all think that sometimes. The comment reminded me of a red carpet interview with Natalie Portman where she was asked how she was feeling as the award season was coming to an end and she replied with something along the lines of "you know it's kinda funny, most people would love to be here dressing up and think it a luxury, but for me a luxury is staying at home in my sweats and watching t.v." (not an exact quote, but close enough). Yes, there are times when I wish my life was more glamorous and I occasionally catch myself feeling bad for myself as I have all these friends who lives across the country and world and live these lives that at times seem more glamorous than mine here in little old Lehi, Utah where I go to work five days a week, come home exhausted and often find myself sitting on the couch eating dinner with my husband, but then I remember that there's no one else I'd rather be with. Regardless of what we are doing, I want to be with him. Sometimes the day to day gets mundane, but for the most part, I love being at home in my sweats watching t.v. As The Weepies say, "I want to live a simple life".
