Simple Smiles

After a horribly sleepless night (no specific reason, just lost sleep).  I am feeling pretty good.  I am allowing myself a day of utter laziness, watching a new favorite move, Julie and Julia....I am insanely in love with this movie!  I want to cook...and read about someone from the past, and be inspired, and eat something yummy!


Speaky of yummy, I am trying to change my black thumb.  I have attempted to have a Basil plant before...and failed...an epic fail.  But, I am trying again, and as I type my sweet little plant, that smells divine is kissing the sunlight in my kitchen.  I'm not sure how long it'll survive being in the kitchen...it is a little in the way, but I don;t want to forget about it outside!  That, and I abhor the thought of bugs crawling on it--ew!!!  So, for now, the basil plant...who I should name Basil...not BAY-sil...but BAH-sil...how British of me!  Anyway, so, for now Basil is a new member of my family, who contributes greatly...mmmmm basil!  Pampered, maybe not as much as my cats...but still, I talked to the plant today...I know, I know...but it's kind of endearing!  So, off to finish my movie!  Basil says hi, he's happy sunbathing ♥
