I went to swipe down the half-bath that Team Testosterone primarily uses--and to my amazement, it wasn't splattered and encrusted with pee--I haven't set foot in this bathroom in over four days (their poor aim has me primarily using a different bathroom OFF-LIMITS to them). This discovery was almost as awesome when Mr. G was potty trained a couple years ago. Indeed, I may raise three gentlemen yet.
Speaking of gentlemen, I spent part of the Weekend O' Romance watching two of my favorite movies: Chocolat and Pride & Prejudice. Le sigh. (Lest you get any ideas, I must tell you Mr. D was out of town all weekend so my swooning took place while sleeping single in a double bed.) While Roux isn't a complete gentlemen, his rougish charm wins me over every time. But it's Mr. Darcy who is the best literary hero of all time. Am I right? (I must grant Mr. Knightly a spot on the Literary Hero Top Ten List, Jane Austin knew exactly what women want.)
Exhibit A: He comes to the Bennett family's rescue and shells out scads of pounds to force Mr. Wickham to marry Lydia.
Exhibit B: He rescues the Bennett family's good name in secret.
Exhibit C: He pays off a man he loathes (with good reason--Wickham is a cad).
Exhibit D: He recognizes the error of his advice to Mr. Bingley and retracts it, allowing a happy ever after ending for Jane.
Exhibit E: He tolerates Mrs. Bennett who is an insufferable fool--most men would flee the country before embracing such a mother-in-law.
Exhibit F: His marriage proposal--the second one, duh.
Really, there is no contest. The real question lies here, which Mr. Darcy do you prefer to watch?
soulful, still very restrainedOR
