Plans for Today

Today I have the whole day off work, and absolutely no plans to go anywhere.  I am sure it hasn't been that long since this happened, but for some reason it feels like it has, so I plan on making full use of it.  I will also be home alone for the majority of the afternoon and evening, which really hasn't happened in a long time.  So, I am facing the prospect of the next 14 hours with nothing to do.

Which actually sounds great.  This week has been sort of busy, and yesterday I was flying around doing all sorts of things, and was a total mess.  I was late to meet my sister for a cake tasting because I needed gas and forgot to have breakfast, then on my way down, I realized I forgot my work shoes and needed my mom to drop them off at work before I got there at 5.  Then I ended up getting to work an hour early, which was good, because I suddenly panicked that I was supposed to be there at 4 not 5.  To make a long story short, I felt like a hot mess.  So I am excited for today.

I am contemplating a movie marathon.  I actually do have some work--editing and emails-- to catch up on, but I can probably be finished those by lunch.  So an afternoon movie marathon with the last bit of the Valentine's Day chocolate sounds great.  I just have to pick my theme.  Should I do high school movies and watch Mean Girls, A Cinderella Story and 17 Again?  Or animated films and watch The Princess and the Frog, Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty.  Action?  Indiana Jones, Crocodile Dundee, and Lucky Number Slevin?  The Back to the Future trilogy?

So many choices!  I simply can't decide.  Good news is, I don't have to right now, because I still have that editing to do.  That will give me some time to figure out how I feel.  That's how I decide things, by the way.  What movie to watch, what food I'm craving, the possibilities are endless.  I simply go through the list in my head, imagine myself doing that thing--watching Ocean's 11 or eating Skittles--and see how that makes me feel.  Am I happy doing that?  Or am I still unsatisfied.  If I'm happy, I continue through the list and go to round two, narrowing down all the ones that made me feel satisfied.  If I feel unsatisfied, I know that Skittles is not the food I am craving.

Just a little insight into the complexity that is my cerebral cortex.
