Courtesy of my heroine of All Classy Things, the gorgeous Frugie.
The month of January and I aren’t besties. Icy tundras aren’t really my thing, and I’m sort of a fan of circulation in my body. Regardless, maybe there is a host of delights about this year’s kickstart, but right now my brain is too frozen by the recent sub-zero temps to think of anything except DOWNTON ABBEY.
If you don’t watch it, you should. Period. What is it about this show that has pop culture squeeing with glee every Sunday night? I don’t exactly know…I just know I’m in love. And God help the person that gets in the way of my remote come 9pm. Seriously, it could get real ugly real fast, friends. BACK OFF.
Can’t get enough Downton in your world? Sunday seems like a light year away? Relax. I’ve teamed up with some of my fav writers today, and we’ve got you covered. Whatever your day holds, cancel it. Priorities must be drawn, and sitting around reading more about our beloved aristocrats and their staff always trumps anything else. Trust me.
Tune into our dear Brits’ Twitter feed below–you didn’t know they Tweeted? What the heck else would they do all day?*–and then laugh it up with my gal pals as we wait with bated breathe for Round 2 on Sunday!
*P.S. All the thanks to the sage Keesha of Mom’s New Stage for cluing me in that tweeting was so all the rage at Downton. She’s one cool chick-in-the-know, and she’s also the one who hit up The Abbey with me last year!

Lady Mary
Tragic is the #NewBlack.
Lord Grantham
I love my daughters, really. But inheritance laws are a BEAST. Three cheers for #birthcontrol.
Bates
(unable to tweet as he has to repeatedly pinch himself that he actually landed such a young and gorgeous wife)
O’Brian
Just keep cowardly running away to India. Just keep cowardly running away to India…
Tom
Spoiled aristocrats suck. Also, I’m a hypocrite. Crap, can @LordGrantham see my Twitter feed? Off to survey some more fields.
Edith
Why does Mary have a Lady’s Maid and I don’t? Screwing my family over one married soon-to-be #cuteGermandude at a time…
Daisy
I hope I get an electric mixer of my own for my birthday. I really want my own electric mixer.
Alfred
HOW DOES JIMMY GET ALL THE GIRLS? And he’s so pretty. So unfair.
Dowager Countess
Exhausting to be so supremely superior to all other earthly beings. #selfawareness
Lady Mary
I am so fabulously tragic. I hope @meredithspidel is reading me. She’s such an amazing blogger.
Obviously, I’m slightly partially to Lady Mary. Mutual fanship, apparently. And she’s just so wonderfully tragic and all–had you heard? Now go read my funny friends and have a fantastic weekend, friends!

Love your discretion with this. And yes, I haven’t seen Sunday’s episode yet, but what a twist! Can’t wait to see how this one unfolds…so glad we can watch “together”!
