Maybe to the parents out there, this every day of your life and doesn't sound remotely appealing. But to me, I could not think of a better way to spend a day. Case in point: I spent my 29th birthday home alone watching Frozen and it was probably my favorite birthday yet.
I started off my little Disney marathon watching "Mulan", which had always been one of my favorites, but I felt like this time around I enjoyed it on an embarrassingly deep level. Either Walt Disney was a genius in his ability to appeal to adults or I am highly emotional right now. I mean, I ugly cried through the first 45 minutes of the movie. That has never happened before. I turned the thing off feeling like Mulan and I were totally on the same level, despite the fact that the last person that you'd expect this cheery pacifist to relate to is a 7th Century Chinese warrior. From there, I moved on to "Brave" to keep the "strong female" theme going. This was the very last Disney princess movie that I had not yet seen so it was kind of a big deal. And, of course, once again, I found myself bawling like a baby. The last movie on the list was "Lady and the Tramp". But, thankfully, this one didn't turn me into a big ball of emotions. Finally. It did, however, leave me extremely wistful and romantic. Suddenly, I wanted to settle down in an overtly Victorian home in the year 1905, where I could knit by the fire and dip old-fashioned doughnuts into a cup of coffee. It wasn't until my husband came home and I made an attempt at normal human conversation that I realized how lost I was in this little dream. I mean, my head is always in the clouds, but this was far worse than usual. But the thing is, as foggy as it was up there, I kinda didn't want to come back down.
