Hello my faithful (and unfaithful) readers! (We'll get to you unfaithful ones later.)
My sister Tabitha, Laura, and I went to see Julie & Julia on Saturday staring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. I must say... I quite enjoyed the flick! Before seeing the movie I read an interview with the lead actors and Norah Ephron (director, writer) that gave a little inside look to the film. This article was not a spoiler, rather just putting a magnifying glass above the plot, so to speak. I won't say toooo much about it for those of you who have not seen it yet. I liked how both stories (of Julie Powell and Julia Child) showed their lives as married women. They say this in the article, but so many movies are about falling-in-love, or failed marriages, divorce, etc. It was nice to watch a movie about happily married couples with regular problems, working through them.
So, obviously the premise of the movie (based on a true story) is how Julie decides to blog her way through Julia Child's cookbook. This got me thinking: Should I blog my way through Julia Child's cookbook!? That was followed by a hearty NO! Who do I think I am!? Did I have a dose of crazy this morning? Okay, so my reaction wasn't really that strong, but let's face it...it was more entertaining for you to read right? But I did think, maybe I should blog about something in particular? Maybe have a purpose to this little thing I infrequently post on? The one thought I had was to read through Jane Austen's classics and blog about it as I read it...every few chapters maybe? Again, not as a spoiler for those books...just something to do.
I probably wouldn't start this until Autumn. There's something about Jane Austen and books like hers; for me they're just meant to be read in cool/cold weather with some hot cidar or cocoa.
Does anybody have any ideas? Anyone there? I think this could be fun! Sure, it's by no means an original idea and a lot of people have blogs about specific things (decorating, cooking, photography, etc.). This would just be something for me I guess (and I suppose my faithful or unfaithful readers.)

I'm going to blog through the building project on our land. I may even vlog on youtube. We'll see. I definitely recommend it.
