I'll do it.

After 5 hours of blogging on our family blog, I'm a little tired of blogging, but I did want to say that I am officially going to blog more. Yes, you've all heard it before, and yes, it may be short-lived, but I will do it. I will do it. I WILL DO IT! Okay? I'll do it.

But as both Brandon and I are sick (my sickness being the 2nd cold I've had in 3 weeks) I won't be doing a huge post right now. But I will blog more. Honest.

For real.

Promise.

Hope you're satisfied with just a post with a photo from Doctor Who today.

A little more on books, and a bit on movies

I just finished Eat, Pray, Love and I did a full review of it on my Goals Blog. I loved it. It was amazing. This woman goes on a year long journey to heal herself after a bitter divorce and she learns so much in the process. It's great.
Anyway, as I was winding down that post, I started thinking about the fact that I'm about to go watch the movie "Eat, Pray, Love" and how much I hope that Julia Roberts does the Liz character justice - and then I started thinking about how other actresses did NOT do justice to the character of Elizabeth that they played.
Example #1:

I usually LOVE Keira Knightley, but man, she was NOT Elizabeth Bennet.
Example #2:

Yet another failed attempt at Lizzy. Ugh. I don't know why I hated it so much, other than the fact that Elizabeth Bennet has a certain quality about her and neither of these actresses captured her.
On the other hand...

There will never be a better Pride and Prejudice, so I hope everyone saves themselves some money and just stops trying.
And on the topic of Colin Firth...
That reminds me of his recent film:

Haven't seen it yet? You must. It was the best movie I have ever seen. Seriously. And they came out with a PG-13 version that either just came out in theaters or is about to. No excuses!!!

So, remember, now on your to-do list from Anne is:
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
"The King's Speech"

Ready...GO!

Perchance to Dream

Our new house -

in my dreams.

I've been thinking a lot about where I want to go in my life, and this is one of them. Ireland - not necessarily this specific castle.

So, we're going to make a list.  A pretty list with pretty pictures. A dream list, of sorts.

Destination #1:

Ireland

Destination #2:

New Zealand

Destination #3:

Italy

Destination #4:

Egypt

Destination #5:

South Africa

Destination #6:

Thailand

Destination #7:
Holland

And you can't forget

Destination #8:

England

So that's 1-8.

I want to see the world, and one day I will.

But today I will sit and dream and look at pictures and I'll be happy about it :)

Because I do love Buena Vista (no matter how much I really hate it)

The end.
