I have set a little goal for myself: read or listen to all of Jane Austen's novels and then watch the movie or mini-series. Netlibrary.com has been my source for the audiobooks and I have already listened to "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma." We just finished watching the BBC versions of both. iTunes had those miniseries available for purchase. Next on my list, "Sense and Sensibilty." I am downloading the book today. BBC also made a TV version, but I will have to order that one from amazon.

So far, Greg has not opposed this goal of mine. We watched all 6 hours of Pride and Prejudice together and he even appeared to be enjoying himself . He even asked me to put the show "on pause" while he grabbed a snack.

However, listening to all books might take it's toll. If I pull out my empire waist dresses, speak in a British accent and complain about my "nerves," I might need to put the goal on hold for a while and watch some man flicks.

Micah has an opinion about the whole thing. While listening to "Emma" in the car he declared,"these books you listen to, have NO POINT! Let's try to figure out the point of them. Are aliens landing? Nooooooooo!"

I explained that he has to listen really hard to understand. There is not much action, but there is certainly a lot going on. Maybe some day he will get it. Sadie watched the last bit of Emma with me yesterday and she appeared to enjoy it. yuppp.....I will have a chick flick buddy some day.
