Tiffany and Betsy, BFF's for life

Today I had the glorious opportunity of reading one of my favorite book series of all time, the Betsy-Tacy series. In my opinion, it is one of the best series ever! It's right up there with Anne of Green Gables and Little Women for me. Betsy is one of my favorite characters of all time! I love how she never gives up on her dream of writing ( a lesson I need to learn), how she sticks by her friends no matter what, and always tries to make the best of things, even though they don't go the way she wants them too (another lesson I need to learn). Not only that, but I absolutely adore every aspect of the books (of course)! I love how Betsy has a "Crowd" of friends she does things with all of the time. I love the prospect of "going with" a boy and not acting "spoony" with him. I also love the slang, as you can tell :) And I love how The Crowd always gathered around the Ray's piano and sang. We need more of this!!! Also, I think Joe Willard is one of the best fictional boys ever! (along with Gilbert Blythe, and Laurie from Little Women). Oh my goodness! If only he were real... We need more boys like him in the world. Yes, anyways... To summarize, I think you all should read the Betsy-Tacy series if you haven't already. It's sooo wonderful!

Let it snow...or not

I think if I see another snow flake, I will scream! Don't get me wrong, I love snow in its place. But 10 inches?? Really? Is anyone else having nightmares about being crushed to death by snow?

She's alive!

I'm not dead! I'm really not! I just have been neglecting my poor little blog. I'd like to say that it won't happen again, but it just might. In the event that this happens, you (all three of my followers) have every right to call me and pester me till I write a new post. Anywhoowhoo, here are some highlights from this past week: My purity ring came in the mail today! I don't think I've ever been more excited to get anything in the mail. Now people will know about my commitment to God, and that's a wonderful thing! On Sunday, my dad (whom I love very much if he's reading this) told me that the Superbowl is a giant salad. I love my dad! On Saturday, I helped out at a silent auction for my school. It was very fun and we raised a lot of money. Not much happened during the rest of the week. So anyway, that's what's new with me!
