Downton Abbey

Who is watching Downton Abbey? 
I started it a few days ago (only seven episodes so far) and I love it!  It's pretty much a soap opera with starched collars and button up shoes but I love it.  The newest episode starts on Sunday night and I can hardly wait! 
 If you haven't checked this series out, you should.  It's SO good!  Even if Dan says he can't understand a word of it.  Maggie Smith is perfect in her character as Dowager Countess Lady Grantham:
Lady Grantham: "You are quite wonderful the way you see room for improvement wherever you look. I never knew such reforming zeal."
Mrs. Crawley: "I take that as a compliment."
Lady Grantham: "I must've said it wrong."

I just found that a book has been written about the actual inhabitants of the real Downton Abbey or Highclere Castle.  It might be on my list for book club...


I'm also, thanks to my new mandatory treadmill time, finally all caught up on my other guilty pleasure - The Vampire Diaries.  I was all for Stefan but now I'm hoping Damon and Elena get together, even more fun since they are dating in real life.

What are you watching these days?
