   It is a truth universally acknowledged, that women love Jane Austen and Virginia Woolf.
   Why? That's the topic od another post?

   I have to actually confess that sometimes they scare me when I am gardening (I mistake them for really large bumble bees...:}
   
   Connie;
   The weekend flew by too quickly, as usual. So here's to a good week.
   
   MomyBlogR;
   I love tulips because of their symbolism for spring and fresh new beginnings...
   
   SkyeBlue;
   It's hard to just pick one flower...

   I've not had enough of an attention span to do these this week, but I can say impatience is mine too. And yellow tulips are my favorite flowers :)
   
   Hope you have a good week!

   Chloe;
   I am home with both children and we've just made our list of things we're going to do:
   1. play a short game on a children's web site
   2. make crafts/scrapbook
   3. play downstairs
   4. play with wooden train set
   5.clean the house
   
   Wanna trade lives for today?
   (although I'd probably ruin your "cake" and say something rude to the teacher...)

   Hi! Here via fjl and the world gets smaller. Funny you should mention the word a-bout as it does usually denote a Canadian and I find it very difficult to reproduce.
   I'm afraid I prefer reading about V Woolf and the Bloomsbury lot -rather than reading her.
   Healing would be fine - in small doses or one would be a wreck.

   yes
   Outgoing, but I don't like being in the spotlight at ALL.
   I love being with my family but something that I would do just for me....is taking pictures.
   Toop 40 and 80's music...it just brings me back.
   Rebel, but it's alway with a cause.
   MomyblogR...I think that says it best.
