Harold told me a few days ago that I need to take some time for myself on my few days off. So I’ve been stopping to read a little here and there. I’m trying to do a little before crashing at night, caught up on one of my mags around a 15 min nap this afternoon, and went to read about 9:30 this evening.
Well instead I got caught up in Katharine Hepburn’s autobiography documentary on TCM. I’ve always loved her independence and I love to read about her. As a feminist it is appealing, plus her mother fought for my right to vote and get birth control….which I love.  She is just a very interesting personality and that doesn’t even include her films. I have a wish list of her films that I want to get : my all time favorite : The Lion in Winter (I would love to get the 2003 remake The Lion in Winter with Patrick Stewart & Glenn Close) ; Bringing Up Baby ; Adam’s Rib ; The Philadelphia Story; and of course, the classic Guess Who’s Coming to DinnerÂ
I know that there are probably more that I would enjoy but those are the top ones.
Hepburn’s spirit reminds me of my Great Aunt Evelyn. Maybe that is why I throughly enjoy my time with her. Melinda said when she saw Aunt Evelyn and me together that it was like watching the same person.
I got my nails done today, I tried to take a bit easier………still got some work done and things kept coming up. I’ll have to refocus tomorrow. What I really wanted to do today was to be able to spend some quality time with Harold…..but why every time I think we are going to do that and stuff comes up. It is pretty discouraging. =(  Oh well, at least we had Outback even if was carry out. =)
I think I may just get some reading done, for pleasure….getting ready for the new HP book……….grin
