It's a countdown to Sex & The City: The Sequel - and I can barely wait! Part two will be released in May of 2010, which will somehow be here before we know it. I realize that many people have doubts regarding the validity of continuing the beloved character's storylines much past the first movie - and a lot of folks weren't pleased with those results - but I personally will take more. I love the series so much that any additional time I get with "the girls" is a total thrill. Yes, I'd be worried about my spinster future too if I didn't have a husband! There's also the well-documented hedonistic area of my life - if there is more, I will take more. I'm an Uh-merican, damn it. On a serious note, this time around will be bittersweet. My sister-in-law was still with us when the first movie hit the big screen. It was her carrot, dangling at the end of a long stick. We used to joke to each other that she couldn't possibly die before finding out what happened with Carrie and Big! We'd laugh, but we would keep our fingers crossed that it was true. Needless to say, opening day was a joyous one as we raced to the movie theater together. Longtime readers of PLP (as well as beloved friends and family) know that Penny passed away in September after an extraordinarily brave battle with cancer. The first Christmas without her will bring enormous challenges - but nothing will personally bring me tears like walking into the cineplex without her in May. I don't think they'll allow an open flame in the theater - but I'll be the one swaying in the back with an unlit candle, hoping that she's watching with me from a happier place.
