The first thing I want when I can chew properly again is a hot dog,
with chili, cheese, mustard, and LOTS of onions. I’ve been
craving one since last Tuesday.
I was inspired by several conversations to pick up Pride & Prejudice; it’s been nearly six years since the last time I read it. The
book fell open near the end, and my eyes fell upon the following.
Those of you familiar with the story will remember how eager Mr.
Collins is to please any and all who can benefit him, and how concerned he
was over Lady Catherine’s displeasure in her nephew’s attachment to
Lizzie. This is Mr. Bennet’s reply to Mr. Collins’ letter of
warning:
“Dear Sir–
“I must trouble
you once more for congratulations. Elizabeth
will soon be the
wife of Mr. Darcy. Console Lady Catherine as
well as you
can. But, if I were you, I would stand by the nephew;
he has more
to give.–Yours sincerely, etc.”
I think Mr. Bennet may be my favorite character this time around.
I have got to get to that Body Exhibit this week. Yikes!
And it’s like twenty bucks! But I have to go…it’s bodies!
This may be my only chance since rejecting medical school.

Yeah Canada is pretty. And for sure worship was beautiful sunday night! It was good to see you guys too! I miss you guys!Rob
I have a book to reccomend to you: First Impressions by Debra White Smith. It’s a modern-day pride and prejudice. I just finished it and it is really good! It has my favorite version of Darcy in it. He’s a cowboy from Texas.
Wait, you rejected medical school? I didn’t know you wanted to be a doctor! Or did you?
Eww, hot dogs? Why ever can’t you chew?
Whoa. That’s not cool at all. But yeah, not normal. I reckon I have the opposite problem, but not to such a degree. Wow.
Professional shoe-shopper…Hmm…
Thanks for your encouragement. It’s stuff like that that makes me want to keep posting in times when I feel like not posting or just closing my blog down all together. It helps to know people are reading and getting something out of it.
I think you can get discount coupons to body-works, maybe through the museum or a newspaper or something. I don’t know how, but I’ve heard about it.
I thought I was already subscribed to you because I read all the Xanga digests that come to my email, and I get you and your sister mixed up on Xanga. Dingy me.
This post is prompted by the fact that I just e mailed the museum to see about getting a group discount for Body Works late on Sunday night. Don’t know if they’ll let me do that, but if they do would you like to be included in the group, or do you have to “work” on Monday morning. I asked them about including college students, so will see what they say. It’s $5.50 per person plus $3.50 additional for audio which I thought sounded like a good idea. I’ve downloaded the teacher packets too.
The website said they are going to be open 24/7 ’til they close at 10pm on Monday night.
– I did not like the protector. He was so gross. I didn’t laugh, I slapped my head and said, “Duh! Of course!” It was a very intense moment.- When I was little I wanted to be a nurse. I have clear memories of sitting in bed with Mom and her reading me Clara Barton books. I was probably eight or nine. My, how time flies. I would love to know more about how people’s bodies work, but I don’t like the idea of all the pressure at medical school. I didn’t want to be a surgeon, just give people medicine for colds and stuff. – Thanks for what you said about my profile picture. I’ve been feeling bad for changing it all the time, it’s hard to stick with one because I am constantly changing my background. I don’t always like my pictures anyway… You made me feel better about that, thanks.- A girl after my own heart. I love musicals too. How is Gracie-girl?
okay, so I know this is going to sound, oh, I don’t know…whatever, but that body exhibit freaks me out. it’s like dead people that aren’t dead. I know I know, doctors work on cadavers all the time, (my sister is a doctor so I heard all about that when she started) but…ewww. it is just too too much for little me.
probably why I am not a doctor. : ) sorry that you can’t chew, and ummm, that I don’t know why, obviously, dental?
Thanks for getting back to me. I won’t need a ride after all ’cause my dad is bringing our van and there is plenty of room for me. So I will see you there.
Bye for now
He was one of the funniest parts of the old movie.Man, everybody’s really into that book lately.But I can’t bring myself to read it.”Everybody has there level.”(I can’t believe I remember that quote. I’m ashamed.)
(And I meant “their level.”)
Dani is reading Pride and Prejudice again. I love to hear, in my head, the voices from the movie when I’m reading that book. So, I know you have been asked this already but I am so out of the loop of your life that I have no idea why you can’t chew. What’s going on? I love hot dogs especially when we get the Hebrew Nationals.
I dearly love that letter, and a lot of other good parts.
Mr. Bennet is quite a character. I’m gonna see Body Worlds at 7:15 am on Monday! (It’s open 24 hours this weekend because of the crowds).
