I'm back!! sorta.....

I am writing from the tail end of a 3 day weekend spent with Jane Austen. She always makes me want to write but seeing I have nothing profound to say and am very close to being illiterate this will be on the short side! It wasn't even my idea just serendipity Carrie picked up The Jane Austen book club and Becoming Jane at the movie store. I have been wanting a reason to watch the 1940's version of Pride and Prejudice which is really clever in it's own right but without Colin Firth as Darcy is not nearly as enchanting!! I might just have to hop on Amazon and pick up a copy of Mansfield Park. I better not I might be too tempted to pick up a boxed set or even the glow in the dark light switch cover . I didn't make that up! I always that it was sad that such a romantic never married but maybe she knew what she was doing after all. Currently I am reading a book that random short stories of women that lost track of themselves and the common theme among them is marriage and children. Speaking more of the Victorian Era more than modern day. I would go on about Sophie Behrs Tolstoy but Keith is on his way home from lunch and I should get dressed and show him that I can function in a World outside of Jane's.
