The One with Downton Abbey & Safe Haven

Pardon my silence, I've been spending every spare second watching this show called Downton Abbey. 
Ever heard of it? I kid. I'm probably one of the last people on earth to watch it. Before Chris pressed "play" on Netflix to start the very first episode I said, "I'ma be mad if I like this! I can't watch any more tv shows!" And what do you know, I'm hooked, and I don't even know why!

And then before I go to sleep I've been reading the lastest and greatest Nicholas Sparks novel-turned-movie, Safe Haven:
In typical Nicholas Sparks fashion, it's just like this funny thing I found on the www:
Why change a good thing though? I can never put his books down so he must be doing something right! And I can hardly wait for the movie to come out on Valentine's Day!

I just saw Safe Haven in the store the other day and was thinking of getting it...maybe I will now! Downton is soooo addicting! I have to admit when my hubs wanted to watch it, I was the same way, not another show, but now I can't stop watching it!!

We are hoping to get Netflix soon...I had never heard of Downtown Abbey, but sounds like something I would love. All we watch around here is Disney Jr. for the most part. ;)

I have that same problem... Downton Abbey... I watched it just as a "hey what's the hype about this show" and now I'm half-way thru Season 2

I'm obsessed with Downton Abbey. Can't stop watching. Even Jonathan likes it!

That poster is HILARIOUS!!! And for that reason, I do NOT see or read Nicholas Sparks movies/books. LOL. :-p

Okay, I do love The Notebook, but hated Walk to Remember, so I never watched another one again. :-p LOL. I know, I know. Probably only girl out there who feels that way. Ah well. :-p
