PMS really stinks. Not the word I really wanted to use, but I’m trying to be polite. I hate feeling crabby and cranky and tired. I don’t like not sleeping. At my age you would think I’d be over this by now. When will it ever end???

Back in the 80s I remember watching a movie in which a real life ballerina played an ice skater. It was the most beautiful skating I ever remember seeing. Does anyone else remember that movie? I’m trying to find out the name of it.

I have been getting frustrated with Blogger. Every time I try to leave a comment, the combox screen just freezes up. I’m not ignoring any of you, I just can’t let you know I’m thinking of you. (And I am.)

I’ve really been enjoying writing lately. That’s actually kind of funny because in high school and college I rather hated it. I suppose this time it’s different because I am writing about things that I want to not what I’ve been told to.

I have started researching the raising of goats. I really wasn’t kidding when I said I want to get some, eventually. They are an interesting critter and it should be a fun process. It’s going to take a bit of time getting ready for them. We need to reclaim an area that is overgrown with weeds and get grass growing there instead, build a barn and put in a fence. I’m actually looking forward to the barn building. A couple years ago I built a bridge with my dad and have been wanting a new construction project.

The cold weather and dark evenings are really conducive to curling up under a blanket with a good book so I have been reading a lot lately. If you’re looking for one, I have just the suggestion. I’m currently reading Toward the Gleam by T. M. Doran, and although I haven’t gotten very far, I’m finding it to be a great read. It combines adventure, mystery and history with very intelligent writing.

#5 - This and your earlier post about goats remind me of something I tell people when they ask if DH and I have kids: "Nope, it's illegal to raise goats in the city limits." :)
ReplyDeleteThe only skatingmovie I know pre-Cuttin EWdge is Ice Castles. But I thought that was 70s.
ReplyDeleteThe only woman I know of from that era who both skated and danced was Katherine Healy. But I don't know if she ever skated in a movie.
ReplyDeleteechoing kate on "ice castles".
ReplyDeleteI was going to say The Cutting Edge. But I don't think it's right.
ReplyDeleteI think raising goats would be fun. It sounds like you have quite a list to do, but know that of all people, YOU can get it done. Goats have a lot of personality.
I'm sorry about PMS. It royally stinks. Glad you are relaxing and making the most of the cold nights with a great book. I'll have to remember it!
Woo hoo! Comments seem to be working again.
ReplyDeleteGina - I think you're right. I did a Google search on Katherine Healy and she was in one movie - "Six Weeks" - with Mary Tyler Moore and Dudly Moore. In the movie she both skated and danced, and in the end, died, which is something else I remembered about the movie. Will have to see it the library has it.
StHenri - I'll have to remember your comeback. I'll just change it a bit - "Kids? No. We haven't built the barn for them yet."
Hmm? I spoke too soon. Comments are working on some sites, but not others. Frustrating.
