  1. Yes, sisters are amazing. I have one myself, younger than I, with blond hair and blue eyes, and she's more mature than I've ever been! haha I think my favorite are the Dashwood sisters and the March sisters. The March sisters, for obvious reasons (I was named Meg!), and the Dashwood sisters since even though they are nearly opposite (like my sister and I), they love each other dearly.

  2. When I take that "Which Jane Austen Character are you? quiz that I've seen up on several sites, I always get "You Are Elinor Dashwood" - every time,
    so I also love 'The Dashwood sisters.'
    Meg - after Meg March, how wonderful!

  3. I get 'Lizzie Bennett' - that's me in a nutshell. I even married my own grumpy/smart tall Darcy-type guy. He gets cranky when he's over-tired and I quiet him with jokes. We're a funny pair and always win at pub trivia night.

    My mother says she should have named me Jo, since I'm not really like Meg March at all. Ah, well. Such is the topsy-turvy life of gals born in the wrong era ...

  4. So, a Jo March, named Meg, married to Mr Darcy....love it!
    And yes, I was born in the wrong era, too!
