Oh Dearest...

I have been wanting Chick-fil-a lately. That blessed chicken cuisine has been calling my name for weeks! I simply have to give in to this craving...and soon. I need my fil-a!

But, this post really has nothing to do with that. It was just on my mind. (Oh sweet, sweet chicken.) I'm in the middle of watching Pride and Prejudice right now. This is arguably the best movie of all time. I praise Jane Austen's accomplishments! Oh, and let me clear something up right now: The 90 minute "recap" of Pride and Prejudice starring Keira Knightly a few years ago is not the flick I am speaking of. I am talking about the brilliant production done by A&E...the no holds barred (is this phrased correctly? I couldn't really remember), spare-no-detail account of this story. It is almost 6 hours long and absolutely wonderful. I started watching it while I was in bed last night but of course fell asleep (this is doomed to happen when you start such a long movie in the late night hours). So, I'm redeeming myself now with a Saturday afternoon viewing.

Sometimes I wish I lived back in those days..among society's elite in 19th century England. It seemed like, for the most part, they had their heads on a little more straigt in regards to priorities. Also, I love how they dressed and talked. People don't say things like "Oh Dearest..." anymore (actually meaning it). I wish we would...it's lovely (also an underused word). Tabitha, Rachel, and I used to watch P&P on a regular basis..staying up late at night and making an evening of it. It was so much fun! It reminds me of autumn, the fall.

Oh the fall. I'm so ready for the leaves to turn red and orange and beautiful colors! I'm ready for fall clothes, hot cider and cocoa, pumpkin carving, scarves, etc. I just love it! But...that's a whole other post on it's own.

And oh...happy August!
