Love Is Like Tea Part |





Love Is Like Tea Part ||


A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

-Jane Austen

Well not much to say about this weekend. Went over to my grandmothers house to bake for the holidays. I also made an adorable little skirt [ i will post pictures soon]. No time to read at all this weekend or anything else really. Here's a lovely quote I found today:

"So much to do, so little done, such things to be."

Elizabeth Taylor

Macbeth & 1984

Currently Reading :

Macbeth -Shakespeare

My English class is currently reading Macbeth, we started it yesterday and I am nearly finished. I heard a lot of bad things about Macbeth so I was not sure if I would like it, surprisingly I am madly in love with it. Especially Lady Macbeth who is by far my favorite character thus far.

Would love to hear some opinions on the book. Love it? Hate it? Loath it? Let me know.

1984 -George Orwell

I've only just started it but so far i am absolutely terrified and extremely in awe of the world George Orwell has created in this book. Not much else to say considering I am only two chapter's in. I shall keep you posted on my thoughts of this odd and intriguing read.

Holiday

Christmas is the most beautiful thing. I could not ask for more in my life right now than snow, christmas trees, bright lights, peppermint candy canes, & cold nights.
"In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago."

Christina Rossetti A Christmas Carol
English poet (1830 - 1894)

Hello Little Birdy


"I know why the caged bird sings."
Maya Angelou [Quoting a lyric by Paul Laurence Dunbar]

Be Mine


Hey there lovely thing please oh please let me give you ring Promise you'll be mine and i'll take you anywhere you please, to the top of the highest mountain or to a quiet cottage where no one will find us Be mine beautiful and i'll be yours Watch me while i watch you, dance with me to an old tune in a grave yard I'll buy you pretty things and give you anything you ever wanted Bows and ribbons, silk dresses and ruby's Just promise you'll be mine

Quotation



I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex.
