Ya-Ya!

Mary... mother of the motherless? Can you see me? I'm here! It's me again! I need divine intervention once again. Quelle grande surprise. And here it is. My oldest daughter, Siddalee, the one I've been complaining about? The loudmouth? She may be walking away from true love. Please stop her. Don't let her run away. This is because of me. She never said it, but... I know. She's only seen me holding back. I take full responsibility. But I'd appreciate you keeping that to yourself. Please pass this on to your son and his father. I will only smoke once... a day. And I will only have a drink once a week - I mean a day. I'll do the best I can. If you will just help her out with this one thing, I'll make it up to you somehow.  -Vivi


I love that little monologue!!!  Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood is one of my favorite movies...I love it. I relate to it on some kind of deep internal level. I love all of the complicated relationships. One of my favorite scenes is when Sidda and Vivi are on the phone and they are both screaming and banging the phones on the counter....that is what I feel like doing sometimes. 

The problem is, I just can't tell sometimes if I am Sidda or if I am turning into Vivi~ which I guess is Sidda's own internal fear, so I guess I really am Sidda...Always waiting for the bottom to drop out....

Connor: [about Sidda] I don't know what the hell she's so afraid of - it's like she's always waiting for the bottom to drop out.
Vivi: You know why she thinks that, don't ya, honey? Because it did. It always did. 

I feel like the bottom is about to drop out. And I have absolutely no idea on how to stop it. Pray for me friends~

We are the flames of the fires, the whirling of the winds. We are the waters of the rains and the rivers and the oceans. We are the rocks and the stones. And now by the power invested in me, I declare we are the mighty Ya-Ya priestesses. Let no man put us under. Now our blood flows through each other as it's done for all eternity. Loyal forever. We raise our voices in the words of Mumbo Gumbo... YA-YA!
