OK, so it's been a while but that's how it is. The husband is away on business in Vegarse, as I like to think of it, and so why not jot a thing or 2 down?
My parents are in town- that does not explain the months of silence though- and I had a simply lovely evening watching a feel-good film- 'Julie and Julia'. (Synopsis- modern girl sets herself the challenge of cooking all 524 of Julia Child's recipes from Mastering the Art of French Cooking in a year).
My mother and I rustled chocolate wrappers, ooed and aahed at the appropriate times and just sighed when the film ended, completely wrapped up in the sentiment. We loved the comparisons of our lead characters' lives,the scenery, the food and the cat. Life was rather simplistic in so many ways but 'tis the movie business after all.
It made me think that following dreams is a wonderful thing and a few hair-brained schemes make the world a better place. I have several hair-brained schemes (HBS) each day and today's was something to do with organdy ribbon. Who doesn't really want to follow their dreams? I think it takes courage to do so, especially when it is neither practical nor lucrative.
Life is each day at a time with plenty of time to smell the roses. I realized this when I was making summer plans and wondered whether I should pencil in 'have fun' as it seemed to be lacking that element. That was not a serious suggestion, btw. This has nothing to do with fulfilling dreams but everything to do with filling the summer vacation to avoid going mad.
It is time for sleep. During the hours of slumber I shall conjure up yet more ridiculous ideas, have nocturnal liaisons of the most intense and passionate kind with all manner of men (once again I am asleep) and be glad that I can live such a strange life.
Dream well.
