My singing voice is somewhere between a drunken apology and a plumbing problem.
Awww, Colin, it’s not that bad!
LOVE that tub and wine photo. Sign me up.

This is my favorite scene so far in DA, period.
12 DAYS OF MARY AND MATTHEW
Day 4: Best Mary’s quoteMatthew: I couldn’t marry any woman.
Mary: And if they should just want to be with you? On any terms?
Sigh.
So, Downton-ites, how do we feel about this?

Outside my window…sunny! It’s going to be almost 60 degrees tomorrow. This is January? I’ll take it.
I am wearing…jeans and a peach sweater. My body isn’t being super-cooperative today so I’m at home. Sigh. Body can’t wait for the sinuses to be drained!
From the kitchen…citrus couscous w/ edible flowers for dinner. Later this week: asparagus, goat cheese, pesto and proscuitto sandwiches, and tequila lime salmon w/ black rice.
Around the house…It’s actually (shock) pretty clean. So a light housekeeping load this week.
I am reading…some of Mother Angelica’s books on prayer and scripture. Also Purgatorio (only 10 more cantos!)
In the CD player…The best of Simon and Garfunkle.
Some plans for the week…Candlemas on Thursday; audition on Sunday.
Thankful for…the Monday list.
I like pampering myself with life’s little luxuries. You know, like sitting in an armchair and reading a good book that you have bought yourself with joy- by this, I mean a book that you have purchased for yourself, to experience and not to display on a coffee table. Or like listening to a piece of music that touches the very bottom of your heart. Music is extremely important to me.

It always happens when you give these little people power. It goes to their heads like strong drink!

And if they should just want to be with you? On any terms?
Lady Mary Crawley to Matthew Crawley
I’m not much good at hanging back, I’m afraid.

And next time: Is Carson leaving? And what’s up with Anna? “I don’t have to marry him you know,” oooh Mary says to Matthew! And do we see Sibyl and the AWFUL CHAUFFEUR getting engaged, too?
And did Lavinia go back to London? Wha? Guess we’ll find out next week.
(OK, yes, we know how this ends. So we also know that Lord Richard’s threat is just empty talk.)
