• The Classic Regency Romance – Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!

  Friday, January 30th, 2009

  It doesn’t sound quite right now, does it?
  But it is REAL!

  I don’t know whether to be appalled or not.
  As an ardent Jane Austen fan or “Janeite”, I love reading adaptations and continuing stories written by other fans. However, somehow, I don’t think this “gentlemen” would really be included.
  However, here IS one book I would like [...]

• Yeah… ANOTHER Valentine’s Day post… Can you believe it?

  Thursday, January 29th, 2009

  I SWEAR I am not into Valentine’s Day. But COME ON! Aren’t these just so sweet!??!
  Plus! They are so simple! ANYONE could do it. Really… Try it out.

• Cynical about Romance?

  Monday, January 26th, 2009

   
   

  Valentine’s Day is coming up. I’ve never been “in to” it very much, even when I have had a sweetheart to share it with. So, instead of something sickeningly sweet I give you THIS. Print a few out and post them wherever you please.

• It’s My Birthday

  Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

  Yup. That’s right. 30 years old today. It was less hard than I thought, but still not so great. Hopefully it won’t hit me harder later.
  Ryan and I went to a great restaurant called The Pit for dinner tonight. We both had been itching to get some North Carolina BBQ, and we were pleased to [...]

• Snow day!!

  Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

  This was my backyard on Tuesday. It was so much fun to have a snow day.

  Can you tell Ryan enjoyed it?

  We even had icicles. But they got MUCH MUCH bigger as the day went on.

  This was the view from our bedroom window. The pond was half frozen over.

  Ryan was a little over anxious and ended [...]

• This weekend was great!

  Monday, January 19th, 2009

  Ryan’s mom arrived on Friday, after driving across the country to bring us his car. (THANK YOU ANNIE!) We didn’t intend to tire her out, but the next day turned into a day of furniture shopping. We are in a major furniture making hub of the US right? Well, I think we need to do [...]

• Happy and sad

  Friday, January 16th, 2009

  Well, we have been in North Carolina for about 2 weeks now. I really do love it here. But a little bit of homesickness is infecting me. I know it will slowly go away as we get more comfortable in our new surroundings. I know that our cats, Lily & Stella, are enjoying it more [...]

• Would you like Mr. Darcy?

  Saturday, January 10th, 2009

  Look!
  You  can have your own Mr. Darcy.

  If you have seen THE BEST Pride & Prejudice, then you will recognize this portrait. Yup. It is Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, which hung in “Pemberley.” Although I don’t think Colin Firth is hot, I think he is perfect for this part. The only part in which I [...]

  But we love it here! We have only seen a few minutes of sun since we arrived, [...]
