    spt: love me

    This week's challenge:  What will you do for you this Valentine's Day?

    P%20%20P.jpg

    When they televised the first section of this Sunday night on PBS, I got the bug.  And there was no *enough* until Miss Bennett and Mr. Darcy had their happy ending.   So this week I indulged in two late nights alone with this old friend.  

    And now I'm much in the mood for love...and - at the risk of being sappy - just might have to write down the story of how Jim & I became.

    I think that recording your personal love story is a great idea! Maybe I'll put off all the other posts I need to write in favor of that one tomorrow.

    Please do. I would love to hear about you and Jim.

    Oh, another P&P fan, yippee! There just is nothing like the A&E P&P. What a great Valentine gift to yourself.

    Would you believe that I have never seen that version? What in the world is wrong with me? And I missed half of the first installment, so I just wrote it off as another missed opportunity.

    Hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day, and yes, yours and Jim is a story that should be told!

    Yours and Jim? My brain is obviously working well this evening.

    I have never seen any of those Jane Austen movies. I have got to track them down! What a lovely idea for Valentine week!

    I hope you have a very happy Valentine's (and a lovely dinner).

    Ahhh, P&P! I had a nice long night not too long ago enjoying that one. LOVE it!

    Oh, Mr. Darcy. Did I tell you that there was a boy in our ward (now on a mission) that Savannah thought looked just like Mr. Darcy (the Firth one)?...she would just stare at him bless the sacrament. So darling.

    Cute photo, Amy! Collin Firth is the best in this version! Ah, gotta set aside a day when I can just sit and watch this wonderful movie!

    You are a kindred spirit. Oh how I love me some Mr Darcy/Firth... LOVE LOVE LOVE the long BBC version.

    Tonight me and the DH watched Becoming Jane... good man that DH.

    i, too, have never seen this. never actually been drawn to it, i suppose. my love bug is very rooted in the contemporary.

    Oh, be still my beating heart. Even the cover does things to me. I purposely did NOT watch part one, because I knew it would only frustrate me. If I had the time today, I might have sat down and watched all six hours in a row (because that is the ONLY way for me to watch). Perhaps tomorrow.

    My favorite movie . . . sigh. . .
