Caption: Dr. Malone gave me the stuffed lion a few years ago because I won a drawing contest in his class. (We were reading Plato's Republic and had to draw a picture of the soul as it was described in the book - "courage" was a lion, and so was the prize for the best drawing.) Steve picked the pine branch from the tree in front of our office. It's sitting in a Mountain Berry-scented candle.

OK, this is a very fun entry, but your readers will not tolerate another meme thingy posted for over two months before you blog again, so be warned!
Also, I heart Pride and Prejudice, so I hope you're able to overcome that one someday.
lol, Frema - don't worry about it. It won't happen again.
I honestly hate to say this... but I think I might just wait for the P&P movie to come out and be satisfied with that. The plot of the book intrigued me, but I couldn't get past the language. I have that problem a lot... I never finished Frankenstein or Lady Chatterley's Lover for the same reason.
Some English major I made... good thing I had the Creative Writing portion of the degree to fall back on ;)
And I loved Frankenstein, too! I guess I'm a sucker for Victorian/18th century literature.
You read Lady Chatterley's Lover for the language? Two books not to read are As I Lay Dying and Grapes of Wrath, which are quite tedious.
SJP does have long, curly hair. If only it were red, then she'd likely be the gal of your dreams.
Becky, we're losing you again...
