Friday Five

[siercia]

1. What's one thing you don't like about your body? The pot belly I gained post pregnancy. It's slowly going away.

2. What are two things you love about your body? Its balanced, curvy somewhat-hourglass shape and my eyes.

3. What are three things you want to change about your home? I'd like a bigger bathroom, so that I could have a good sized soaking tub, I'd like more starage space for the kitchen, and I'd like for all the crap that we're storing in it to become organized so it looks neater and we can find things easily.

4. What are 4 books you want to read this year? Gosh, I don't think I'd thought that far ahead. I have a huge "to read" pile going on, but I'm having trouble thinking of anything specific. Hmmmm. Whatever William Gibson Wiley thinks I should try, Pride and Prejudice,

5. What are five promises that you have kept to yourself? Another tough one... That I would not entirely lose myself in motherhood, that I would lose weight, that I would honor my committment to my marriage, even when it was difficult, to be the best mother I could be; constantly trying to do a little better than before. That's all I can think of.

You simply must read P&P

Shani and I watched the A&E 6 hour adaptation of it when we were in Canada, and I loved it. Knowing how often movies aren't as good as the book, makes me want to read it all the more.

Well, A&E is one of those adaptations which is actually near on par with the book. I, like you, saw the movie, never having had an interest in JA before, and immediately wanted to read the book. The book essentially just fills in the blank scenes which they couldn't add due to time constraints, and fleshes out some of the dialogue.
