That good kind of love..

Today I felt like I was coming down with something…I slept all morning and when I got to the office around noon, I was ready to go back to bed. I came home and fell in love…with the movie “Julie and Julia”. I was smiling through the whole thing. Please tell me you have seen this movie! It made be feel romantic, magical, girly and creative. I don’t cook but I bake and I love to blog so I felt I understood Julie’s excitment at starting a blog and finding out she has readers following her passion. I found Julia Child’s voice one of the most annoying sounds I have ever heard (sorry Meryl) but I LOVED Julie’s part of the story. I loved the love she and her husband had. I call it “that good kind of love” when I tell Marcel I observe the deepest love. I always tell him, “We have that good kind of love”.

Marcel came in toward the very end up the movie and I wistfully told him that I fell in love with the movie. We rented “The Last of the Mohicans” because-don’t yell at me-I’ve never seen it. It was super romantic and sweet to watch. Marcel and I have been sitting on the couch watching tv, drinking wine, eating dinner, and cuddling all evening. I still have a headache and don’t feel totally myself, but I feel much better. I even managed to get up and bake some white chocolate chip cookies tonight. They are currently in the oven and are extremely runny but I’m hoping they will taste good anyway. Update on the runny cookies: they all ran together and when I took them off the cookie sheet they broke into pieces. Sweet Marcel said he loves them anyway and picked at the pieces of cookies:)

I bake quite a bit these days and one positive thing that has emerged is that I am growing tired of sugar and sweets. I never thought this would happen because I have the biggest sweet tooth. I still am in need of committing to actually going to the gym that I pay monthly membership for. I have been lazy and my pants have noticed.
