Mid-week update

Didn't get to the posting yesterday so I'm doing this early and quickly. I've got to put in three hours on a paper due Saturday and I'm really not in the mood to be doing that so I guess swallow the medicine and get it over with.

Which reminded me, I started to watch the movie Mary Poppins last night on tv. I only watched the first hour but what a trip down memory lane. We had the record of this soundtrack and my sister and I used to play it a lot; especially "I Love to Laugh" song and get into laughing attacks. So it was fun last night to watch (actually a good movie) and sing along with the songs. Steve then came to bed and I was kinda tired, too, so didn't watch the whole thing. Kind of late to be starting such a kid movie (9 pm) are my thoughts. I was also remembering last night that they've made a stage musical of this movie (no original thoughts anywhere anymore). The scene where the queue of potential nannies gets blown away before Mary Poppins floats in is iconic in my memory. There must have been a screen shot on the album we had because there's a distinct image in my mind of that. And I wondered if the stage version included the blowing away of nannies. I'll have to watch the whole movie in the near future. The Jane & Michael song advertising for a nanny is stuck in my brain.

Finished reading LEAVE THE GRAVE GREEN by Deborah Crombie. It's left in an emotional cliffhanger for Kincaid and Gemma, isn't it. I'll have to get the next in series sooner rather than later now.

I may venture out later today. I haven't had the need since Saturday and because of the cold haven't just gone out on a whim. But, I may have to get groceries, I'd like to drop off some books at the library though it's not a requirement, and I should do a quick bit of Christmas shopping.

Steve shoots tonight. I've got Stylista to watch on tv. I watched a couple episodes of MI-5 yesterday as reward for three hours on paper/homework. I've got about 1-1/2 hours of DVD extras to watch today if I slog through today's stuff.

Okay, hopefully writing this has loosened the juice in my brain so I can write my paper splendidly and the words will just flow...No more slacking off.

Much love,
