you have a collective date with gilbert blythe!
yes it's true. this valentine's day some friends and i decided it was high time we had an "anne of green gables" marathon...minus "the continuing story" which was a bitter disappointment! i even lit some candles to create atmosphere. (it was very romantic without the man...or as i like to call it, rotic)
it was a wonderful 9 hours (yes, i said 9) with some dear friends that i rarely have the pleasure of hanging out with...and some girls that i don't know very well at all, but had so much fun with! our list of events went as follows:
5:30 - started "anne of green gables: part 1" (green hair and all)
7:00 - started "anne of green gables: part 2" (oh matthew! *tear*)
9:00 - ZUMBA! (we couldn't very well spend the whole time watching movies w/out a little exercise! unfortunately i didn't think to capture this with my camera, but rest assured it was quite a sight)
9:30 - started "anne of green gables, the sequel: part 1" (that jen pringle is just plain creepy!)
12:30 - started "anne of green gables, the sequel: part 2" (ahh...that blessed bridge) complete with ice cream sundaes! (kudos to tara!)
the evening ended at a very late, but very fulfilling 2:30am. as i flopped into my comfy pillow top i felt very happy indeed with visions of a simpler time and words like "tragical" filling my sleepy head. goodnight miss anne with an e.

i was exhausted just reading the schedule...i hate to admit that i'm not as young as i used to be. :( i'm glad you had a great night! what a fun group of gals.
Oh my. We JUST finished this movie last night (we started it on Saturday)
It still remains my favorite movie, but I told Klint I don't want to watch it again for 10 years. It SERIOUSLY makes me SO DEPRESSED. I cry and cry and cry and cry. Especially on the first movie. 2 of the nights, after we watched it, I was so depressed we had to quickly watch something 'happier' because I couldn't go to bed on that note :)
It is a classic, tear-jerker - I love it!!!
(Thanks for your recommendation on NOT watching the 3rd...Klint wants to, but I think I'd regret it)
"Friends, huh? I thought we were kindred spirts." So sad!!
Great post!
sarah, you make me laugh!
"we'd end up like two old crows, bickering all the time!"
those poor kids :)
and stick to your guns, girl! klint, trust me! the 3rd one is NO GOOD!
