A Quiet Saturday

Well sort of. Peter and Ariel are bowling in the Pro-Am this evening so think good thoughts for them. Other than that, we had most of our usual things we do on Saturday.

Right now we are sitting down as a family and watching "Strictly Ballroom" which is a wonderful film that we all love. The music is great and it is interesting seeing early Baz Luhrmann.

I've got a couple of things to do before the 1st. I have most of what I need. I do have an errand or two to run but I think it can wait until Monday. I am taking it easy this weekend.

The Yuck has me in its grip again. I am hoping that this is the last rally of the infection that has been hanging around for a while. I had a hard time sleeping last night and then got up with a perky Miss Caroline about quarter to 7:00. Peter took over so I could get some more sleep so I feel awake now but unsettled.

I am still taking suggestions for my next LJ Idol Entry here

I am grateful for family moments.

Me too. There is so much to it.

OOH!

I absolutely ADORE that film. LOVEITLOVEITLOVEIT. Sure, it's a down-under riff on Dirty Dancing, but it works beautifully through its tongue-in-cheek cheese.

I had the worst grown-up crush on Paul Mercurio. It's renewed every time I watch the flick. What a beautiful man. Yummmmm. I also love his character's interaction with Fran, and how she blossoms and finds her own confidence. A truly great flick. I think I'll put it in the DVD player while I clean -- I know it by heart, so I don't have to actually watch it closely, or procrastinate any further. :)

Feel better! I'm so sorry you're still sick.

And I am so clueless as to what to suggest for LJ Idol. I'll think on it more.

Yeah but it is such wonderful cheese.

I love bowling. I completely and utterly suck at it but I love it all the same.

Feel better.

BTW, I have to use house balls to bowl and because my hands are very big I have to use the heaviest ball there is to fit my hands. This changes my game.

*sigh*

I miss bowling.
