Small update- birthday stuff and a movie
Was a nice day, very low key. My sister's been feeling especially lousy lately, so I was determined to make it the best day I could. She worked on her book this morning and early afternoon- she's had a breakthrough and it's really shaping up. It came to her yesterday to write her children's novel as freeform poetry instead of fiction prose, which she's been having real difficulty trying to work with. She asked me to proof it and just reading her 40-some-odd unfinished pages, I was sucked in immediately!
We headed on over to TGIFriday's afterwards, which gave me a bit of a stomach bug when I went last week but was good today. After that, we stopped by the supermarket for a cake mix and I whipped her up a lurvely birthday cake (understand how exceptional this is: I baked! I was in the kitchen baking. And it wasn't a total disaster! Yay! It's a little, um, heavy because I accidentally put too much water in, but it tastes good!
We were going to watch Manhattan Murder Mystery (rules of a birthday in my household: Who so-ever was born that day, doth the movie they chose to play XD) but her tape was wrecked (boo!), so we ended up watching The Core- yay! Aaron Eckhart goodness! We both have been wanting to see Aaron in something else since being introduced to him in The Black Dahlia and this was a yummy choice! 'Ooh, shirtless scene!' I announced lously and happily. We both looked. "Don't you just want to touch him?" she asked after staring for a minute. "Even I do!" (Not my sister's sexual preference but, DAMN, the man is just that hot!)
Bed now and, hopefully, onwards to dreams of Mr. Eckhart, shirt -and pants- optional! Hee! ;-)
Peace, Ghani
