Pride, Prejudice and Furniture

I saw an absolutely wonderful movie this weekend!!! I must admit I was a bit skeptical walking into the theater to see Pride and Prejudice. I really thought that no other version of this beloved story could take the place of the incredible 6 hour version I had many times stayed up late to watch. Well this version to the story I know so well exceeded my expectations! I really liked how each character was played and given a somewhat different approach than the bbc movie. Though this one was only a little more than 2 hours long it encompassed the most important parts and I didn't feel like it was lacking in anything. I really can't wait to go see it again!!! You've got to see it. :) Though the 6 hour P&P will always hold a special place in my heart, I definitly have opened my arms up to this one.

The movie only filled a small portion of my weekend. Saturday was spent at a sleepover in NJ with three of my co-workers. That night will be one remembered, especially with its placing me out of my comfort zone! I also had the priviledge of acting the part of "putting together the furniture" helper to Dhrumil yesterday. We spent a couple of hours piecing together furniture. After a half hour was spent on putting a kitchen chair together, figuring out it was wrong, and taking it apart I really wanted to quit. Yet Dhrumil rallied support and in doing so I could do little to offend the boy who was having so much fun and 1 hour later we finished the chairs. I have decided that any furniture I buy will come fully assembled!
