If you have visited my blog a few times, you probably know that I love the movie You've Got Mail. What you might not know is that many times after watching the film I schedule a hair appointment and bring a print-out of Meg as Kathleen Kelly.
I should've worn a cardigan! (It's been a while since my hair was this short but I am liking the change and it takes less time to blow dry.) Anyway . . . Below you will find one of my favorite posts from last winter. Hope you don't mind the rerun.

the personality of the ornaments
Greetings from snowy Rhode Island! Saturday we took down our Christmas tree. My boys turned the somewhat daunting task into a game by sorting out their favorite ornaments. I did the same and realized that I am gathering quite a cute collection of little snowmen. Being a blogger, of course I had to take a quick break to snap some photos!
It's funny because looking at each snowman individually in these pictures, they seem to have their own personalities. This guy above looks very friendly: "Good to meet'cha!"
(Okay, I hope I am not sounding too crazy. Maybe I should've waited to do this post until after breakfast!)
mild mannered and welcoming
sweet and bashful
a nice kid
busy
shy and would sound like winnie-the-pooh
a bit goofy but funny
Okay, time to eat! xo

Elyse, you are a doll!! The hair style suits you so well :) It is funny because I got my hair cut on Friday. I was so upset because I had to get FOUR inches cut off!!!!! That is what I get for waiting to get a trim for so long, lol! I look terrible in short hair. You are so lucky to be able to pull it off so well :) Mine is to the middle of my back and takes forever to blow dry!
I love the post about the snowmen ornaments, just so adorable!!
Love ya,
Amy
I came in to see what you have been up to, very busy lady I can see Elyse!! Merry Christmas to you sweetie and have a great New Year!! char
oh how cute! one of my all time favorite movies which i just watched...i adore meg ryan! i saw your title 'you've got comments' and was immediately drawn in:)
merry white christmas to you! hope your enjoying all that snow in RI!
Great movie -- she had great hair and clothes too! I love snowmen, and especially the one that would "sound like Winnie the Pooh". Too cute :)
What a darling cut, Elyse. It shows off your eyes.
The snowmen are cute as can be ... it doesn't take much to realize all of a sudden a 'collection' has accrued quickly, does it.
Merry Christmas,
TTFN ~Marydon
Love your new hair do. I bet it is easier to keep.
Your snowmen post is so cute. You have a great collection going.
Just stopped by to wish you a Merry Christmas

Elyse, You are a cutiepie! I love your hair and if I had not seen Meg Ryan first, I would have thought it was you:) I love that movie too! I so enjoyed your re-gift of the post! Sometimes they are just good enough to see twice! Have a blessed day!
love the new hairdo...very cute and sassy! I've always loved that movie too and Meg Ryan is one of my favorites.
How cute your haircut is! I love that movie - I just watched it the other day. I always want Meg Ryan's wardrobe, too! And her apartment, which is so, so wonderful!

Cute hair!
I love that movie as well. She is so cute! I often try to get Meg Ryan hair, but it is not the Kathleen Kelly style so much, I don't think. Besides my hair is super curly, so it never works like hers.
Erin :)
SUCH a cute haircut, Elyse--fits you perfectly! I love that movie--haven't seen it in a while--time to watch it again!
Your snowmen are adorable--hope you're having a wonderful Christmas week with your family!
I remember this post! I like it then, and I still do.
Merry Christmas,
D
Love the new do!!!! Looks great on you!!
Elyse, I LOVE your new hair~cut! It's so cute and so are you! A very flattering picture! I know what you mean about You've Got Mail! I can watch that over and over! Remember we talked about Kathleen's "linen" dress and sweater?! We need to be on the hunt for that dress, or better yet, sew one! LOL! Get your sewing machine out again Elyse...I will look for the linen fabric!
Love,
Maryjane

LOVE your hair! I cut mine short a few months ago and LOVE IT! Easy is not enough to describe!
LOVE You've got mail! I need that movie. I've been watching it a lot on tv lately.
I have snowmen #2 and #6!! I have a HUGE snowman collection. They are the best!!
Merry Christmas!
Hugs, Lisa
Love the WTP one. Wherever did you get him?
Cute hair, btw.

"You've got comments"... isn't that what we all adore? Well, I have two
1- Your hair looks super -very Meg!
2- Great ornaments and commentary.
Elyse.....your hair looks GREAT!!! I think short looks beautiful on you!!
I remember this post from last year..so darn cute!
Oh, that's cute! You are lucky that you look good in the hairdo of your hair "idol"! That's awesome.
You know what? I do think I remember that picture from last year? Has it been that long? OMGosh! LOL!
Merry Christmas!
i love the hair! i also love youve got mail :) it is just the cutest movie. great snowmen!
blessings,
aimee
Elyse, you look so pretty! Love your hair. That was a great post from last year and I missed it the first time so thanks for the rerun! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas! Twyla
Now that I'm in my 40's, I tend to keep my hair shorter too. I always loved Meg's short hairstyles and always refer to her when I go for a hair cut. I am doing the shaggy thing now as it is so easy to blow and go. I don't like hairstyles that take a lot of primping. Your little snowmen are adorable! All with such contrasting personalities! Wishing you a day of blessings :) Tammy
Elyse, you look pretty with the new hairdo!..
Elyse-
Guess what? I do the same thing! I have Meg Ryan pics from all stages of hair that I save on my computer and take in with me. I'm so glad I have a friend that is equally crazy! That hairstyle looks GREAT on you! I watched the movie last night so hopefully I can resist the urge to cut my hair. Be strong, right?
Love your snowmen. They are a favorite of mine too!
Fav movie, and your haircut looks fantastic!
Love the little snowmen, and as I looked at each one, I came up with my own little name-the-personality guess before reading yours. I guessed pretty much the same as you - I may have actually dated some of these guys. :)
Have a Happy Day!
Zuzu
Love your hair and love your snowmen. Happy holidays and A Merry Chistmas to you and yours,
Jan
I do like your new "do", Elyse! Very becoming!
Brenda
CUTE HAIR!!!!! ( Meg and I have been friends since her as the world turns days )
I just love how your mind works even if it is before breakfast.
Kim
Love the 'do but I also L O V E that movie too....a nice one to pull out at Christmas time.
xx
You would NEVER know that you had one kink in that hair of yours! It looks fab! Will you be changing your blog name to "The Blog Around The Corner"? ;}

Elyse, if you ever want to go the cafe from You've Got Mail where she is supposed to meet him, it's Lola's on West 83rd!
