Can you make a mistake and miss your fate?
Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate? Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love or have babies or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into our life and people go. But, it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart.
And, if you are very lucky, a plane ride away.

Sex and the City Junkie
I've been on a kick lately. I can't say whether it is the fact that there is crap on tele between 7 and 9 or that I am getting ready for the big 3-0, but I have found myself reaching for the DVDs every evening as of late. Even the flattie (UK version of roomie?) is hooked.
Krissie used to say that she knew when I was watching Carrie and friends because she could always hear me giggling in my bedroom. I laugh, I cry, but no one can say it better than those four... Everyone has their favorite episodes, and this post, dear friends, is devoted to my Top 10 Sex and the City moments:
10. Carrie: "As I contemplated the fact that my relationship had gone to pot, literally, I realized no high or low would make this day any other day than the day I got broken up with by a post-it."
(The Post-it Always Sticks Twice Season six)
9. "Maybe there are no right moments, right guys, right answers. Maybe you just have to say what's in your heart."
Aidan's proposal.
(Just Say Yes Season 4)
8. "What was the allure of the 20's? On one hand there is great skin tone, the thrill of fresh experience and the sense of a consequence-free life full of seemingly endless possibilities. While on the other, there are horrible apartments, sexually inexperienced men and embarrassing errors in fashion judgment."
(Twenty-something Girls vs. Thirty-something Women Season two)
7. "Oh my god. She's fashion road kill!"
Carrie: "I had a choice, I could slink off the runway and let my inner model die of shame, or I could pick myself up, flaws and all, and finish. And that's just what I did. Because when real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep walking."
(The Real Me Season four)
6. Explaining a Booty Boy to Charlotte...
Samantha: "He's not a slave, honey, he does have a life."
Miranda: "But you don't have to know about it."
Carrie: "And you're generally guaranteed delivery in six hours or less."
(The F*** Buddy Season two)
5. Samantha: "I'm dating a guy with the funkiest tasting spunk."
Charlotte stands and walks out of the cafe.
(Easy Come, Easy Go Season three)
4. Big & Natasha's engagement party. "I have one question for you... Why wasn't it me?"
Big: "I don't know. It just got so hard, and she's..."
Carrie: "Your girl is lovely, Hubble." ("The Way We Were" reference)
Big: "I don't get it."
Carrie: "You never did." And walks away...
"Then I had a thought, maybe I didn't break Big. Maybe the problem was that he couldn't break me. Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with..."
(Ex and the City Season two finale)
3. Miranda always has the best lines: "He only has one ball and I have a lazy ovary. In what twisted world does that create a baby? It's like the Special Olympics of conception."
(Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda Season four)
2. "You can't leave New York. You're the Chrystler building. The Chrystler building would be all wrong in Napa." And Big and Carrie dancing to "Moon River" (one of my all-time favorite songs).
(I Heart NY Season four)
1. I have never laughed so hard: The Up the Bum Conversation... All four girls are in a taxi discussing Charlotte's boyfriend's request.
Miranda: "The question is, if he goes up your butt, will he respect you more or respect you less. That's the issue." Carrie lights a cigarette and the Cabbie says, "No Smoking."
Carrie: "Sir, we're talking up the butt. A cigarette is in order."
(Valley of the Twenty-Somethings Season one)
