Sicko

That's me. Only three half days and one friday of teaching the first week back and I'm already sick. I lost my voice on friday, and then didn't feel well friday night because my throat was so raw. I thought it was just from losing my voice, but then my ears started throbbing too. I guess that's what you get when you work with elementary kids.

Although, why is is that being sick always comes on the weekend? There are many things I wanted to do this weekend, including packing and going to the gym, but instead I spent most of it trying to sleep with my head propped up.

Oh well, hopefully I can get lots of packing done this week and next weekend. The big day is coming very soon and Mike's Dad is coming to help us move on the 25th. I'm so excited to have some family come up here. Anyone wanna come with him? We could go sledding, it would be fun....

Last night I watched one of my all-time favourite movies, Roman Holiday, with Audrey Hepburn. I had no idea she won the best actress Oscar for it, which is incredible as it was her first film. My favourite moment is when she is in Gregory Peck's character's apartment and is about to say goodbye and get changed and as she tries to walk past him to the bathroom he grabs her and they hug each other so tightly and her facial expression is just perfect. It's so romantic.



It got me thinking, how many movies are there that I enjoy watching again every year? Here is the list I came up with:

1.Roman Holiday
2.Love Actually
3.50 First Dates
4.Practical Magic
5.The Fellowship of the Ring

Notice that the first four are all semi-romantic. I guess that's just me.
But now I'm curious, which movies do you watch again and again?

1) Roman Holiday (Ha! Although my favourite moment is that kiss by the side of the water ... oooohhhhhhhh)
2) Zoolander (somehow it gets funnier every time I watch it)
3) Amelie
4) THe Man from Snowy River (obscure movies from your childhood are always classic, no matter what age)
5) And I'd have to say I don't mind a little Love Actually action, either. :)
