Kelli Crowe Jones's Diary: Week 37

I WILL

Exercise 3 to 5 days a week - Started to work out on elliptical machine but nothing good on television. 

Take my vitamins - Iron x2 a day.  Excellent.  Easy to remember to take as I become dizzy without it. Also taking my new medicine for anxiety, low dose generic Zoloft. Slightly crazed voice and wide eyes used to state daily at 5 pm, "Gots to take my meds" perhaps is unnerving husband a small bit. 

Read -  Am reading Harry Potter series to children and on book 4.  Quite proud of my excellent voicings of Gilderoy Lockhart, Professor Trelawney and Rita Skeeter.  Children appear less impressed.  Perhaps too much in awe for comment.  

Also reading Mr. Darcy and the Secret of Becoming a Gentleman by Maria Hamilton.  So good, like sinking into warm tub after long day.  With glass of wine.  

Give up soda: Seem to have forgotten this bit of the goal list...

Not wear shoes in the house - Hah - not home this week. 100%!!

Write thank you notes - Has this always been on the list?

Finish the plethora of projects half done and/or started in my head - Repainted 2 of 4 walls in craft room. Starting to sift and reorganize room.  Look forward to painting rest of walls this week.   Not really.  

Does pinning things on Pinterest count?  

De-clutter the house room by room - Rooms seem too overwhelming.  Am working on small areas while suppressing deep desire to start decorating for Halloween and Christmas simultaneously.  (Would also unnerve husband.)

Meal plan - Planning Chick-fil-A run later today.  Surely counts.  

Start scrapbook project: 53 Saturdays - On way home from the beach, middle-ist child stated that most Saturdays are spent in boring ways, such as cleaning or traveling.  A shame to have done such a shabby job at photographing it, as could have renamed project: Our 53 Horrible, No Fun Saturdays. Opportunity missed.

Plan out each day with some sort of strategy - Pardon?

Pray / Bible study daily - Prayer, yes. Especially during times of anxiety and going over large bridges at the beach and while on tiny islands during tropical storms. 

Not be a victim to technology - E-mail exploding again, as have been out of town for 2 weeks.  (Amazon seems to be quite worried about me).  Did not have internet at the beach.  Missed internet.

Came home and Tivo had to be reset and all, sob, recorded items lost.  (Including Colin Firth Inside the Actor's Studio interview previously watched but saved.)  And all shows set to record lost. Must now actually remember what TV shows we like.  Looking into hiring personal assistant to sift through and reset all items.  

Keep up with this list every Sunday in format of Bridget Jone's Dairy: After brief, 17 week hiatus, check.

 

Dear Harry Potter Kids,

Dear Harry Potter Kids (Now Adults),

  Thanks for beng nice, decent people.  Really, you spent what most of us call as the "awkward years" or the time when you make a lot of mistakes as being professional actors.  Sure you were paid very well.  I'm good with that.  But in your free time, you weren't jerks.  You didn't get arrested.  You didn't flip out and wreck your over priced sports cars.  No sex tapes.  

   If you had gone bonkers, we probably would have understood.  Too much fame and money and pressure all at once.  But you didn't.  You held it together.  You acted like you truely liked beng around each other. Not that you signed up for this, but it kept the magic alive for us in between the movies.  

   And way to go to your families and the people around you.  They kept you grounded.  Well done.  As a fan and a parent, I'm proud of the work you did on and off the screen.  

Thanks for, like, forever,

Kelli Crowe
