Blog followers! It has been almost a week since my last post! Okay. We're still a few days away but still! Since I am on the road to recovery, I've decided what better way to be productive than to say hello to my friends and family! I've missed you all so much! It's been quite a week though.
As I'm sure all of you know, I've been flirting with a cold or a flu for 6 days. Oh, and what a long 6 days it has been. I was in and out of work, and in between the times I was asleep, I was watching movies while coughing up my lungs and begging the fever to just go away. Today though is the first day I've woken up (even though I had only slept 3 hours last night) ready to just get things done! Just hanging around the house is great when it's a choice. Though, when you're sick and have hardly enough energy to wipe your nose, it's such a pain. Especially when things like laundry or earning money for new cars is weighing on your mind. Though, I have to say, it was so very tricky to not fall asleep during every movie, though I'm pretty sure I did through most of them. ( There are a few I just feel like I want to share with the world, and will do so in a moment) The funniest part of this was the fever dreams. Oh, fevers. You can be so miserable but create so much entertainment. This dream was almost prophetic in a way. I dreamed that I made a salad, but the salad was money. Yes, the salad was supposed to be made that way. Only, I put a few $20 bills in it when I didn't mean to and didn't realize until I was eating it, then thought, 'Oh. I should make sure to pull out the $20 next time'. How strange is that?! The weirdest thing, is the next night, my sisters dog slept in my room. When I woke up, he'd eaten a $20 bill and part of another right out of my wallet. Oh, he got into so much trouble.
Anyways! I watched a TON of movies in the last week. Let me see if I can think of the titles of all of them.
Never Been Kissed, North & South, Wuthering Heights, My Fake Fiance, every episode of Melissa and Joey, Forks Over Knives, Super Size Me, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, It's A Boy Girl Thing, Bridesmaids, and a ton of Saturday Night Live. I think that is all... The ones I am totally in LOVE with right now are North & South, Sense and Sensibility, and Mansfield Park.
If you're a girl and you love Jane Austen, or even a boy and you love Jane Austen, then you will love these three movies. True, only two of them are Austen, but the other, North & South, reminds me so much of it. It was an absolutely breathtaking movie. The one I watched was a 4 hour version. 4 Parts made in 2004. Dang it if the male lead in that movie isn't one of the most smokin' men ever. Though, he looks a lot like Daniel Radcliff. Though I guess Daniel would look like him since he is older. Anyways. I totally recommend this movie if you love sappy/sad/romantic/headstrong heroine movies.
The other movie I want to talk about is Wuthering Heights. WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH EMILY BRONTE?! Couldn't she have taken a few pointes from her sister and come up with a happier story with a less wishy washy heroine and an anti-hero hero who is not so evil!?!? No, I guess not. It was still good, but I don't know. It doesn't compare to Jane Eyre or like novels.
Oh! Really quickly! If you're interested in Forks Over Knives, it is a documentary about eating a plant based diet. It will change your life. =)
Okay! Well, it is time for me to finish my laundry and all that jazz! I will come up with more entertaining stuff later!!
If you read the biography of the Bronte sisters you'll understand their writing better! I heard about that "Forks over Knives"...good thing to see!
