What I am giving up: All desserts, snacks, my nightly bowl of popcorn, second helpings, alcoholic beverages and meat.

What I will try to accomplish: Daily Mass, daily rosary, not yelling, going to one of my parish Lenten studies.
What I will read:
Why can I never get my pictures to line up properly? Anyway, I found a new love: The BBC movie. Last night was a girl's night where we ate popcorn, nachos, and chocolate cookies for Fat Tuesday and watched this:
Four hours of amazingness with nothing scandalous, whatsoever. It is a very close second to Pride & Prejudice, my all-time favorite. I highly recommend it.
That first book looks like a great read...I'm putting it on my Amazon list
ReplyDeleteand thanks for the movie review- I need solid suggestions
That movie is great, I second your suggestion. I also like Wives & Daughters (can't remember all of it though) and now, Downton Abbey, though I was very disappointed in the season finale: ouija board/seance interspersed through the show. GAAAAAG! Thank God for fast forward. You can access downton for free on the website. google downton abbey. It is more scandalous than North & South, one episode in particular during the first season, can't remember all, though.
