Guilty magical pleasures
I'm home ill with what seems to be a flu that's lasting a few days. So I'm re-watching Practical Magic. It's a guilty pleasure and I have to say, I love the romantic vision of the magical household. The rambling gardens, the herb-filled pantry, the greenhouse, the beautiful country kitchen... These are the kinds of things that I dream about having eventually. It might even make me more okay with my long hair, while I'm growing it for donation. All the main actresses - Stockard Channing, Dianne West, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman - have long, romantic locks pulled back into long messy braids, twists and curls. Well, that and the compliment I received from Subchunker this morning about my tussled and wavy mane.
It's really quite something to be so absolutely without energy and feeling poorly. I promised my boss that I'd make it in tomorrow, regardless of how I felt. Think healing thoughts...
I poked around in a couple of the blogs I like, did some searching online for various things I feel like I need right now (which may result in me taking a jewelry making course, actually...) and basically let myself exist is some of the more magical portions of my interests today. I will likely continue in those activities a bit more this afternoon (although I have a squeaky dog here right now, staring at me, wanting to go outside). I *am* trying to include those types of activities when I feel the desire. I have some books to read and the OBOD course that I'm still doing, after ages of having it on my shelf and not moving forward with it.
Ah, but for now, the movie is finished and I'm feeling quite tired, even though I've only been sitting and watching (and surfing the internet). Perhaps I should take the dog for a short walk (to stop the whining) and that might perk me up a bit. It will at least get me some fresh air...
