Lots of people lately are writing about what they’re thankful for. Sometimes it bothers me that people only seem to be thankful during November. But, as I sit here in my office I can hear Mrs. Darcy across the way in her office. And, it struck me that I am thankful that I get to … Continue reading »

Year 18: I Love a Love Letter
If my home went up in flames, I honestly believe this love letter would be one of the first things I’d grab. Stupidly I didn’t save many reminders from former boyfriends. Raging sadness prevented me from seeing that years down the road I’d really want this stuff. But luckily I saved this note. It’s the … Continue reading »
Year 11: I (Do Not) Love Looking Like a Boy
4th grade was better than I could have hoped it would be. Given that I began a new school two months into the school year, things turned out well. As documented, I fell in love with a hottie. I took a kick-ass school picture in my cotton pink dress with my below-the-shoulder hair tucked behind … Continue reading »
Year 9: I (Do Not) Love Connecticut
Look how happy all those girls appear. What a fun party, right? WRONG. Sometimes a picture lies. What actually happened that night was that all the girls conspired to call their parents in the middle of my birthday slumber party and go home. The only girl who stayed? The neighbor girl who was 2 or … Continue reading »
Year 6: I Love King Louie’s Swingdance
Just like Baloo, I was completely mesmerized by King Louie’s musical number in The Jungle Book. For my 6th birthday, my parents gave me The Jungle Book read along cassette tape set. I played that red cassette tape in my giant tape recorder over and over and over again, all while I danced around the … Continue reading »

Hard Cheese on Mrs. Darcy
I’m sorry, but…could he be any hotter? (And the picture doesn’t even show the British accent!) He is deserving of our 100th post. That is the executive decision Mrs. Darcy has made. There’s no hard cheese on Rob these days, it appears. Alas, just for poor Mrs. Darcy. Just like Cher from Clueless (epically saving … Continue reading »
Summer Read – A Handful of Dust – Chapter Three
A Handful of Dust – Chapter Three – Hard Cheese on Tony It’s that time again – chapter three is upon us – and I am still disgusted with Brenda and in love with Tony. I understand Mrs. Darcy’s assessment of society pushing people into marriage and it was probably hard to resist that push … Continue reading »
Summer Read – A Handful of Dust – Chapter Two
CHAPTER TWO – ENGLISH GOTHIC In this chapter we are introduced to some new characters, Tony and Brenda Last. They have a son who is mainly raised by a nanny and Ben the stableman. They seem like a normal married couple who live on a HUGE estate in the quiet countryside of England. Normal. Anyway, … Continue reading »
So, You Weren’t Kidding
My name is Mrs. Darcy, and I’m a hope-aholic. Despite my abhorrence of internet dating and my truly Stephen King-ish experiences with many dating sites, I currently keep a profile up on one of them. Why? Probably because I don’t want to find myself as an old lady, Sage Stallone-ing it or becoming “that weird … Continue reading »
Magic Mike vs. Christian Grey
I am not a fan of Fifty Shades of Grey. It was imperative that I start by saying that. I’d hate for anyone out there to read a word further and think I actually liked this book. I set out a few weeks ago to read this “novel” (and yes, those are “air quotes”) that … Continue reading »
