Sense and Sensibility

I can not remember when I last watched Sense and Sensibility -- The version on my dvr I find myself glued to is the one with kate winslet, emma thompson, hugh grant and sevarus snape(what IS his name, can never remember). Jane Austen is not a cure for a lonely heart. It just creates a longing, and also pessimism that I shall never find such love. I was such a Maryanne when I was younger. I now feel more like an Eleanor. Is that because of heartbreak? I am more cautious, reserved. Yesterday in the car on the ride home the kids were talking about the car and how they should name it. Lila suggested Focus - because it's always focused on where we must go and what we need to do. Parker chimed in and said, "Yeah, just like Mom." It was quite sweet.
