Yesterday I spent a quiet day at home, doing housework and watching movies. I watched The Notebook, a beautifully filmed tearjerking romance (that book made me cry like a baby, and the movie did, too). In the evening I watched Shall We Dance with Dan. I watched it previously with some friends, but he had not seen it. And he did indeed love the film, even though it was a chick flick. This morning I watched De-Lovely which was a biography of Cole Porter, through his music and through examining his marriage to his lovely wife Linda (well portrayed by Ashley Judd). The film did not shy away at all from Porter's homosexuality and the problems his marriage suffered because of it...

We headed out to Tecumseh last night for high school team districts. It  was a cold night and the snow was blowing over the roads, causing them to get icy. Bill did not wrestle, and that was probably for the best, as he has not been wrestling well since thast one horrible week when they had so many meets and tournaments. That just seemed to wear him down both physically and mentally. And the poor team only managed to score six points against Tecumseh, which is ranked something like fourth in the state. That was a rough, rough meet, and was a bit of a downer for the team, as they have high school individual districts tomorrow. At least that will be at our high school, so there will be long drives over bad roads...

Have been enjoying my quiet time at home. Have been cooking and baking and cleaning, with enough time left over to read and to watch movies...hard to believe that I could have been in New York city right now...seems like a different world...
