feeling a little like Cinderella
I have the day to myself. However, I have been given a *huge* list of chores to do. Sometimes I feel like an indentured servant. I do feel a sense of accomplishment when I complete one of these mammoth lists, and I know it is good experience for my future, but I wish I could organize my own time. I could accomplish some of these things during the week, but I wasn't given that option.
Enough whining. Others have more on their plates than I. I know I can fly through everything and possibly carve out a little time for fun stuff. Time spent whining is time wasted. Sometimes I am just tired from work and school. It would be great to have time to do whatever. If I didn't live here, I could do that, but since I can't afford to leave, I have to abide by the *rules of the household*. Sure do get sick of hearing that one.
What would I do if I had the whole day and some extra money? I love movies!! Especially chick flicks. I could watch something like "Pride and Prejudice" a hundred times. All that lovely sexual tension without one glimpse of bare skin. Don't get me wrong, I like bare skin as much as the next gal, but it isn't necessary to the telling of a good story.
Another thing I love to do is read books. I'm finishing "Memoirs of a Geisha" (I always read the book before seeing the movie). It gives an incredible glimpse into an ancient culture and makes me glad I wasn't born in an era when women were so totally dependent on men for everything. As is the case today, however, the success of the geisha was totally based on beauty. Our culture seems to over-value beauty as well.
Enough dreaming. Time to get out the buckets and mop!!
