What to do when you have the flu?

Yes, that's right...I stupidly did not get the flu shot this year thinking I was some sort of immune superwoman.  And I got it.  It's my own fault really; both my son S and husband J got the shot, but alas I kept putting it off and now here I am.  My husband works at a hospital so I'm just going to blame him for bringing the nasty germs home.  That might not be the best route, but hey, it helps me sleep at night.   

So what am I going to do since I have the flu?  And a son who is 2? And I'm feeling kind of blue...ok, I sensed the eye rolls, I need to stop.   Well, I'm just going to have a date night with Babs.  Oh, you don't know who Babs is?  Well, it's the one and only Barbara Streisand.  She and I are on that special nickname basis...we're tight, as the kids say.  One of my favorite old(ish) movies is What's Up, Doc? starring Babs herself.   It's such a cute movie.  "The accidental mix up of four identical plaid overnight bags leads to a series of increasingly wild and wacky situations." (I stole that from IMDB...)  It's just a clean and sweet, classic RomCom, which is my favorite movie genre (much to my husband's dismay). 

I'm putting my June Cleaver pearls on the shelf with all of the dirty dishes waiting to be washed, laundry that needs to be folded, toys that need to be picked up, and vacuuming that needs to be done.   I'm going to kick back like Lucy and enjoy watching this movie.  What I wouldn't do for some Vitameatavegamin right now...
