No, this post isn't about Burt's Bees. Apparently, I can't aim the focus too well today. I was trying to take a picture of that beautiful book.
That beautiful book is the Penguin classics hardcover edition of Sense and Sensibility. Jordan gifted me the book for Mother's Day. Not too long ago Jordan discovered the joy of ordering stuff over the Internet, and now I get awesome presents! I think it all stemmed from a coversation that went something like this:
Jordan: "Mom, I need you to order me an AP study guide."
Me: Okay.
[Next day]
Jordan: "Mom, have you ordered me that AP study guide?"
Me: "Shoot. No, I forgot."
[Repeat above two lines about four times.]
Me: Ummm...why don't you order it yourself? (genius)
And voila! Jordan was introduced to the beauty of online ordering. Her online world is now limited only by her imagination and her paltry allowance...which allowance will not allow for too much online shopping.
Ahhh...I think I've done my motherly duty.
Teach how to order from Amazon. Check.
P.S. I'm rereading Sense and Sensibility and I'm entralled. Those women are so witty. I'd like to spend the entire day with Elinor.
Do you find yourself thinking, and speaking in the style of Jane Austen?

Mmm, you're raising that girl right.
I long to be in an Austen novel. Or to write like her.
