The week is rolling into the weekend. Ahhh.... *breathes a sigh of relief*
It's been a busy and very good week! I'm always happy when Friday comes along cause it's the start of my weekend. =]
This week was a productive one for me. Which is a big thing! I did a lot of little things around the house, (the kinds of things you don't get around to until it's absolutely necessary, if you know what I mean), and did my usual Nanny job that I love and the every-other-week house cleaning for our sweet and very dear neighbors. The big thing this week was, I got up on time every day. (Also a big thing for me) =] It is so nice to get up and "sit just quietly" and sip tea and read my Bible before I have to 'get movin'. I am in a much happier mood when I get up in the morning. It is a very good thing.
Tonight we watched Julie and Julia.
Here's a picture of the real Julia Child.
And Meryl Streep as Julia Child.
An Excellent movie, if you ask me! It was wonderful to watch Meryl Streep play Julia Child. (Both ladies I so much admire and adore!) and Amy Adams is always so cute and clever! I remember watching Julia Child on TV with my Mom and older sisters when I was little. I always liked her immensely!The movie was very inspiring! It made me want to cook! The only problem is that we are on a 'cleanse'. However... it is not too strict. There's lots of things you can do with meat, veggies, fruit and quinoa. =] Yes... I really like quinoa. It is not quite as good as cous cous, but it feels like your eating something filling.. which is a very good thing. =] But, I confess... this movie really makes you want to eat something with butter. The amount of butter there is in this movie is well... let's just say, I really wanted to eat something that was completely slathered in butter.
And it made me want to get this book!
So to cheer ourselves up, we took a little 'holiday' from our diet while we were watching the movie. I had ice cream with blueberries and CHOCOLATE. LOTS of chocolate (in my case anyway). It was most wonderful! I figure, on 'cleanses', chocolate shouldn't count. It doesn't fit in the 'food' category... it belongs in the 'mental health and well being' category.xo Marguerite

I still haven't seen this movie, but now I really want to. Excellent review. I can also remember sitting with my Mom in front of the TV watching Julia. I could never understand why my Mom made such a big deal about everything "Julia" said! Now I understand :)
I found your blog through Melinda's Abounding in Hope :)
I LOVED Julie and Julia. And I love all the talk that's going around about it. I remember watching Julia Child with my mom and sister when I was little also! Such a sweet memory.
Here's to butter... lot's and lots of butter!
