A tour of Buckingham Palace, anyone?

Eeek! I love love love this time period.

(Seriously. I search "Queen Victoria" on etsy. I now own a fabulous pair of earrings and a darling clutch.)

So when I saw this book challenge I knew I had to participate.
The plan is read six books that where either written in this era or about this era.

1. Emma by Jane Austen
2. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (I will get through it this time!)
3. Mesmerized by Candence Camp
4. A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libby Bray
5. The Life and Times of Victoria by Dorothy Marshall
6. Vanity Fair by Thackery (I'm going to listen to this one on my iPod. That counts right?)

Wish me luck!

weekends=♥

it's a sweatpants kinda day

I have so much to get done today (you know, which is why I'm blogging). It's time to clean up the ol' dorm room and get the stack of homework I had all of fall break to work on done. So I've pulled on the sweater and sweatpants, pulled out my REALLY big laundry basket and took a trash bag from the bathroom and am now ready to get this cleaning party started.

3 steps for a cleaning party

• comfy clothes
  ex:
  



• a good movie you have seen about a thousand times so it doesn't distract you (much)
  ex:
  (I really want to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's, but I think it is going to have to wait)
  



• Snacks! Saltine crackers with honey--yum!
  ex:
  

And after that?

This.



sigh.
