Blogs I Loved This Week + a TV Recommendation

First, tonight begins a new Masterpiece Classic version of Jane Austen's Emma (I think it's on the next 3 weeks.) I love these movies and can't wait to see this one!

Second, I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad because truly, I loved all of your blogs this week. Really! But there were three that I wanted to share with my friends who read this blog because 1. I thought they contained good information, 2. I thought the topic made for good discussion and 3. I just really liked reading them.

First, Elizabeth's blog entry "Dating Advice for Girls." Elizabeth is a real life friend and she's clever, smart and funny and she says a lot of things I agree with. I'd love to know what you think of some of her advice so go read and comment.

Next, Jill's blog entry, "5:24 PM." Read this and remember to do what Jill did the next time you're almost at the end of your rope (parenting or otherwise.)

Finally, Celia's blog entry, "Mi Pod." This is a list of podcasts Celia listens to. I never listen to podcasts and I'm not sure why. However, as soon as I read this, I searched in iTunes for the "Converations-A Mormon Channel Original" and downloaded some of them. General Conference is also on here (search podcasts LDS.) You can listen to them on your computer or you can save them on your iPod/iPhone to listen to when you're out and about. Excellent stuff and hello, totally free! The only podcasts I've ever listened to are American's Test Kitchen episodes and a couple of Jane Austen audiobooks. I'm going to get more.

Thanks to Elizabeth, Jill & Celia for giving me good stuff to read this week!!

Great posts. Thanks for sharing.

And, oh, I'm excited about the new Emma. Does it get better than Masterpiece Classic?

I feel honored to be on your blogs of note! Thank you! And thank you for the links to the others. I enjoyed those immensely. Even though I sometimes wander onto other people's sites from your blog, I don't necessarily catch them at their best posts. :)

I REALLY want to watch Emma. I hope they have it on PBS.org.
