One last post for today!

Pride and Prejudice Completion

I finally finished Pride and Prejudice this weekend. Here is what I gleaned from all of its wonderfulness. Your choice of close friends (including your ultimate close friend=husband) influences who and what you become. Elizabeth and Darcy made each other better, helped each overcome character flaws. Contrasted with Wickham who dragged Lydia down (though she was oblivious) by taking advantage of her character flaws. This was mirrored even in the female relationships, Jane and Elizabeth built and strengthened each other while Lydia led Kitty to follow in her flirtatiousness and silliness. Luckily in the end, Kitty starts spending more time with Elizabeth and Jane and is better off for it.

I vastly enjoyed the book and am no longer an Austen Fan Imposter. WHOOHOOO!!! I am now about 6 chapters into To Kill a Mockingbird. Very good so far--Thanks for the tip Linda!

So I have been "it" for awhile--I kept putting it off so that I could take the time to put in pictures like everyone else did but I will procrastinate no longer. Sorry no pictures, you will have to use your imaginations. I

1. An orchard. Apples, Pears, Peaches, maybe some nuts. I would call it the "Grove of the Prophets" and each tree would be named for a different prophet.
2. Nice hardback copies af all my favorite books that I only have in paperback (Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Anne of Green Gables . . . the list goes on).
3. A bottomless "eating out" fund for when I just don't feel like cooking, especially when it gets hot in the summer.
4. A summer-long trip travelling by rail throughout Europe (with a nanny of course to help me with the children and watch them in the evenings so Joshua and I could go out).
5. A Library/Study in my house with wall to wall bookshelves filled with good books, several very comfortable chairs, and a few well placed sunny windows to provide lots of good reading light.

I think everyone that I know has been tagged--I am the last. Does that mean I win!?!

Veggie Tales

Daniel had his first taste of green beans a little more than a week ago. I took a little video of the event. It turned out pretty cute.

I did feel somewhat sorry for him--here he was struggling with this horrible substance we put in his mouth and everyone just kept laughing and asking to see it again. It turns out it was the thick texture he did not like--not the taste. I thinned them out the next time I fed him and he seemed to really like them.
