Stormy Sundays
This weekend was luxuriously all mine. My sister was away camping, and I had the house to myself. I relived the glory days of living alone in Chicago. How? Well...ok, it wasn't incredibly luxurious or glorious, but it was nice.
I worked Saturday morning and spent the afternoon in bed reading a book. I ran errands, read a magazine at Borders, and bought dinner from the Whole Foods salad bar (used to occassionally do that in Chicago). Sunday, I took a walk with my mother and ate breakfast there. I did research for a writing assignment and cleaned house. And, after running errands (lots of errands lately, they come in waves) and tutoring, I took myself to a movie at the cheap theater. I figured I could afford the expensive ticket price of $2.50. I saw Miss Potter, a biopic about Beatrix Potter, of Peter Rabbit fame. It was perfect for the rainy weekend. A soft movie with an adorable Renee Zellweger, it depicted her struggles with her parents, happiness at publication, and then grief after her fiance suddenly died. It was sweet. I enjoyed seeing scenes in England's lake district, where Potter began buying up farms to preserve the land.
