Jane Austen - Seven Novels

I have a beautiful book that I got for Christmas last year. It's green with blue, white and gold on it and it has gold around the edges of the pages. It also just happens to be Jane Austen's seven novels. I challenged myself to read them by the end of this summer and I started today! It's basically the end of the school year for me, I finished key of liberty yesterday and now I just have the play left to do.

I'm SOOO excited to read them! I've tried to read Pride & Prejudice before but I was like 11 or 12, but now, two years later, I'm SOO ready to read them and love them! Hooray!!!!!

Lil' Sister Jokes :D

"What did the apple say to the hat?"
"what?"
"it said Hey hat, why are you at the doctor's office and why are you pretending to be the doctor?"

"what did the apple say to the banana?"
"what did it say?"
"no, guess first"
"just tell me"
"guess!"
"okay, did it say You're lame?"
"no, it said Why did you come here at the age of thirty?"

"what did the jam say to the bread?"
"what?"
"the jam said to that bread Why did you come here at one hundred and sixty thirty? The party is already over!"

"what did the stool say to the chair?"
"what did it say?"
"it said Mom why did you staple my paper when I wasn't done?" "when I wasn't done writing my paper?
These are ALL jokes my little sister told me... Hope you got a laugh out of them, like I did!!!!!

A Wonderful Week!

This week has been a good week!

On Monday, I wrote a 2 page hero report on Betsy Ross (I can tell you a lot about her now:), whom I really enjoyed researching and writing about her. And then the 1st episode of Studio C, season 2 came out and I watched that.

On Tuesday, I orally presented my hero report to my key of liberty class, in a princess dress and snood and then practiced the play I'm in, at Shakespeare class.

Then on Wednesday, I went shopping with my Momma and got some capris and a very much not planned on, pink, 50's style dress, with white polka dots! I love that new dress VERY much! I am forever in my mothers debt... Don't tell her I said that!!!!!

On Thursday my lil' sista turned 5 and my mom and I took her and three of her friends out to lunch and a movie (that's what I did on my birthday!) and we then dropped her friends off at their homes and took lil' sis to get a new "big girl" bike (I also got something on my birthday, although it wasn't a new bike, but a denim skirt). Then my siblings and I had soft pretzels and peanut butter cookies while mom and dad were gone that evening in Orem.

On Friday I went to Shakespeare practice and we did my most favoritest scene in the ENTIRE PLAY!!!!! It also happens to be one of the most awkward scenes for my friend Cameron, who plays Bottom the weaver. I also just happen to get to play both my characters, in ONE scene!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Saturday... Nothing really happened... JK! GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The thing I love more than any holiday!!!!! (except the ones celebrating Christ) I took notes on ALL THE TALKS!!!!! Although I was saddened by the release of Sister Dalton, Sister Cook and Sister Dibb... But I have confidence I will love the new YW's general presidency, just as much as the one before.

And, last but not least, today. Sunday. General Conference! I, yet again, took notes on ALL THE TALKS!!!!! I particularly loved President Uchtdorf's talk and President Monson's first talk at the end of the 4th session (the one with him and his friend lighting the field on fire:). I also got all dressed up 50's style! (polka dots, pearls and all!) My family and I went I my Aunt Lexi's house where we had dinner, talked about general conference and had cake for little sister's birthday.

Or, in other words, it was a pretty awesome week.
