My Jane Austen Life

OMGosh. According to the Jane Austen novel link below, not only am I currently IN a Jane Austen novel...I think I could be every character, so most likely I  AM a Jane Austen novel!

I am usually the one trying to persuade others to go on a trip. I don't think I'm disagreeable--although I do like to stir things up by playing devils advocate from time to time.

I usually like playing cards (or board games), but again, I am not disagreeable.

Someone I know has fallen ill--not dramatically so, but interestingly so.

I don't think the  piano player hates me, but I know she's no longer my friend.

All of my dresses ARE nightgowns.

I once took a walk with a cad.

Everyone, girls and boys alike, tell me their secrets. But I don't despise them for it. Unless they tell me they are secretly rich, skinny, and beautiful blonde bombshells. But I still don't despise them. I just plot their next accident....

My Mother is neither dead nor ridiculous; however, I do have numerous females who treat me like a daughter. (Thanks Moms!)

My Father was in Finance in the Air Force--he made sure everyone got paid. He was very good with numbers and was chagrined when I told him I no longer balance my checkbook. I monitor my accounts online.

I once fell off a cliff at a picnic--does it count as something going horribly wrong if I only sustained scratches and missed out on the rest of the afternoons activities?

I don't dance publicly. The resentment would be directed at me.

Would the military commander with no morals be the same as a commander in chief without character?

Thanks to one of the "Moms," I  am the woman with the absurd hat.

My surviving garden and house plants, are astonished they are still alive so I guess my garden IS an astonishment.

Three men in my life?  I've got only two. Alas, neither Bandit nor Moggy are seriously marriage material.

If a charming man attempted to flirt with me it WOULD be terrible. Especially if he were also handsome, sexy, and rich. I'm not sure I could handle the terribleness of it....just try me! ;~)
