Day 19 of 93

Well, I've got to tell you, that today is the first day that I can say I've really done work that I'm halfway pleased with. Over the last week there were days I didn't write, and days I haven't even read.

I do believe however, that I've managed to perfect the art of procrastination. Which is not something I'm terribly proud of at all. In fact, I told my husband to please send me to the kitchen table and to rap my knuckles with one of our old wooden rulers if I even thought of leaving the chair except to go to the bathroom. He, of course in true man style, proceeded to roll his eyes, grab a coke from the fridge and then very promptly deposited his backside on the couch. He then had the audacity to look at me and say "Football's on." How dare he! Right? Here I am having a writing crisis or was rather, and that is the response I get? why I expected a different response from the one I got baffles even me.

Anyway, I've handwritten seven and a half pages of good stuff I think. We'll see what I think tomorrow if I'm brave enough to look at it.

In other news we had a loverly Halloween with the children, not all mine, dressing up as a Vampire, Christine from Phantom of the Opera, and a Cowgirl. Guess whose child was the cow girl? Yep, mine. She looked wonderful though. I knew buying all that horse stuff, aside from actually needing it for the horse, would come in handy some day.

Watched Moonlight tonight, which I like a lot and wasn't real sure that I would. That series is still really growing on me. I can't wait to see what they do with New Amsterdam. I'm really anxious to see that one too.

After Moonlight, I started channel surfing and found that Notting Hill was on. Can I just say that I think that maybe Notting Hill might be in my top ten best movies of all time? Sure I can say that because it is truth. I love that movie. I love the funny lines in the movie. I love Spike even because he is so ugly that he's cute and I love the chemistry between Julia and Hugh.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes from "Notting Hill"
[That I of course love]
...................................................................
Bella: Which way are you going?
Max: Down Kensington Church Street, then Knightsbridge, then Hyde Park Corner.
Bella: No, crazy, crazy. Go along Bayswater.
Honey: That's right. Then Park Lane.
Bernie: No, straight down to the Cromwell Road, then left.
Max: [they continue arguing about the best routes to the Ritz, Max finally has enough and screeches to a halt] Stop right there! I will decide the route. All right?
William: Sorry Max.
Honey: Sorry Max.
Max: James Bond never has to put up with this sort of shit.
...................................................................
Bernie: But she said she wanted to go out with you?
William: Yes - sort of...
Bernie: That's nice.
William: What?
Bernie: Well, you know, anybody saying they want to go out with you is... pretty great... isn't it...?
William: It was sort of sweet actually - I mean, I know she's an actress and all that, so she can deliver a line - but she said that she might be as famous as can be - but also... that she was just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
[pause]
William: Oh, sod a dog. I've made the wrong decision, haven't I?
.................................................................
Honey: Oh God, this is one of those key moments in life, when it's possible you can be really, genuinely cool - and I'm failing 100%. I absolutely and totally and utterly adore you and I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world and more importantly I genuinely believe and have believed for some time now that we can be best friends. What do YOU think?
................................................................
Max: Let's face facts, this was always a no-win situation. Anna's a goddess, you know what happens to mortals who get involved with gods.
William: Buggered, is it?
Max: Every time.

Well, I won't bore you with more quotes. So I'm off to continue working on my book while the house is quiet and the dogs are asleep. It's quite chilly here in my part of the hundred acre wood. Hope you all are well, stay safe and warm!
