Cheap chick flick -- the flick is cheap, not the chick

Take the Quiz here!

O'kay, so I passed by the $7.50 movie rack at the local Wal-mart today expecting to find the usual "B" reel children's cartoon fodder, i.e. The Land Before Time 47, Barbie in the Enchanted land of Sea Turtles, 101 Dalmations 12, when I saw it! One of my all-time favorite, I really need a good cry movies -- Sense & Sensibility. Not only was it $7.50 but it was a DVD (the copy I have currently managed to wear down to a nub is VHS). Not only was it $7.50 and a DVD, but it also included a DVD copy of Remains of the Day (another Emma Thompson must see). It was if someone looked down on me and said, "Boy, she could use a little pick-me-up."

So, I decided I would further indulge myself this afternoon (I am woefully procrastinating my mountain of nursing homework) by taking the above mentioned quiz. Poor Kevin, as Women's Conference this weekend won't give him enough of an estrogen jolt (Does anyone else feel a little more empowered after listening to the Women's Broadcast?) I'm feeling a definite need to have a Jane Austen movie fest. Popcorn, raisinettes here I come!

Back from the "dead"

Yes, I am actually among the living, though I feel like I have been run over by a truck. I'm now officially 5 weeks into nursing school and I still don't feel like I have my feet underneath me. Everyone keeps reassuring me that I will wake up one day and realize that I am managing just fine, but I'm hoping that day comes sooner rather than later. The upside is that I continue to be fascinated with the inner workings of the human body and find that my testimony of our Father's wisdom and creative powers has been further strengthened. Truly our bodies are miracles!
