hi.

hello! first of all, thank you to everyone for all the lovely comments the last few days! every comment i get makes me feel special:] thank you for that.
i've been kinda lazy lately, not wanting to do anything. but know i have to snap back into it because it's back to school i go for the week. my whole family gets today off because it is president's day weekend. everyone but me:/ so they are going to take a day trip & drive me back to the university. this makes me happy because that means i can show them around my campus. it will be fun.
my friend jeremy & i were able to attend a preview screening of the international before it came out into theaters. it was pretty good, but i think it was missing something. maybe they didn't develop the story like the could have? i don't know. but clive owen was in it, so that was nice:D

a little house of your own

when my sister & i were young we went to a lot of library book sales with our mom. we loved them! we loaded up on all kinds of books & they were always really cheap. one year my sister bought a book called a little house of your own (1954) by beatrice schenk de regniers. it says that every boy & girl should have a little place that they can call their own where they can do things they like to do. i remembered how much i loved that book & decided to try to buy it online. i searched for it & found out that it is out of print. i found a copy on ebay though & it came about a month ago. i just love the illustrations in it done by irene haas.

jesska: thank you again!

allison: :]
