Friday Five: Things I Like About January

1. The return of Downton Abbey. This Sunday you guys! I'm seriously excited. I love getting a bed clothed in fresh sheets early on Sundays and reading a book until Downton comes on. Of course I have some tea on the bedside table to help set the Downton mood.

2. The ability to put on the brakes in regards to schedules. To hunker down at home, to regroup, recharge, rejuvenate. This weekend and another weekend this month have already been designated Do Nothing weekends on my calendar. In pen.

3. Everyone getting their fresh start on in various aspects of their lives. You go, everyone.

4. Vacation days are reset.

5. It's a good time to try some new recipes.

I had a ton of fun at the Mummers Parade yesterday. I'll share some pics in another post. Today? I woke up with a sore throat and a bad cold. I'm in bed with tea and a book. Good thing this weekend was a do nothing weekend anyway.

And you? What are some of your favorite things about January?

Happy birthday weekend to my very own Lady Mary, Laura.

Linking up with Amanda for Friday Favorites.

Friday Five: Favorite Fictional Places I'd like to visit

1. Downton Abbey. As long as the Dowager Countess is there. We can discuss what a week-end is.

2. Fraggle Rock. I'd really like to consult Marjory the Trash Heap about some shit.

3. Jane Eyre's moors. "I am no bird, and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with independent will." Have I waxed poetic about my love of Jane Eyre?

4. Kellerman's. Duh. I know I can actually visit this place, it's in Virginia. But I want to go to THE Kellerman's, not the Kellerman's facade. Take me to the lake too, while we're at it.

5. The Peach Pit. As long as Brenda and Kelly were there and Dylan was slumped in a corner, brooding. Andrea can stay home. I don't have time for her whining to Brandon.
