1. I can speak .
2. My throat no longer feels like it is going to completely close up or explode, and turning my head doesn't make me whimper like a little girl from disturbing my throat (that's right, poor, poor me!) .
3. I have moved from lying in my bed where I watched the entire second season of Law and Order: SVU on netflix online to lying in the bean bag downstairs in front of the tv watching the newest adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion (siiiiiigh Captain Wentworth).
4. I'm bored. (or was before Persuasion started...)
5. I'm craving brownies and seriously contemplating getting up and making brownies. Mind you, I have been contemplating this for about 4 hours now. But I'm getting close. I can feel it.
6. I took the time to make dinner. Mmmm, spaghetti .
7. No ginormous sinus headache.
8. I have found the strength to blog. It's very taxing.
9. I did not immediately fall asleep on my wet hair today after my shower and it's sitting down nice and lady-like instead of standing up and waving hello.
10. I can breathe through my nose, and I"ve only gone through 3 or 4 kleenex in the last hour.

So how did you like Persuasion? Particularly the Bath 5K as they call it over at Austenblog.
I'm able to reconcile myself to all the changes they made, and even say I enjoy it, up to the 5K. At that point they loose me. And how can you appreciate the sheer romance of the letter when your watching this poor woman run all over Bath! Let alone see the impact it has on her as she's reading it, she's to busy hoofing it from one end of the crescent to the other. And I love the fact that poor crippled Mrs. Smith runs to find Anne during the scene. I laughed out loud the first time I saw that.
I wanted to enjoy the romance the ending of that movie is suppose to have so I spent 2 hours after the film ended rereading the book from the concert to the end. Such romance. Captain Wentworth is my favorite Austen Hero.
Of course all of my gripes didn't keep me from recording it on my DVD player and I'm sure I'll watch it again because, um did you see Rupert Penry-Jones as Captain Wentworth. Wow and Wow!
Yes, wow. :) He made up for the breakneck speed the movie progressed at. And the Bath 5k. Wouldn't a lady have fainted after doing all that running if her corset were on properly?
I would imagine so. I mean if I were Anne Elliott wearing my corset properly, I would have passed out from that as well as thought myself quite the idiot for running half way around Bath just to finally find the man standing in front of my own house.
