The Poly looks beautiful! If I could pick any resort in the World to stay at, regardless of price, I think I might chose that...it looks so homey and resort-y and vacation-y!
You've never heard of L.M. Montgomery? Anne of Green Gables?

Get thee to a library, pronto! That's like, classic literature. No book worm can be without it.
And for what it's worth, I think the BBC Jane is pretty, in her own way. You have to remember that beauty was judged differently back then...stately and "Grecian" was considered more handsome over the bright, lovely style that we prefer today. Just different perspectives. ;-) But I think you'd make a lovely Lizzie...you have the hair! My hair is similar to yours; maybe not AS thick (although it is ridiculously thick in it's own way); mine is auburn. I am chuffed because I recently figured out away to make it smooth and big-curly without ANY blow-drying or heat used. I just put some Bio Silk on it after I washed it (had it for years, but I've slacked off recently) and wore it up until it was dry. It's ridiculously amazing.
My baby brother is doing great; thanks! I will have to hunt up a recent picture of him for you. Mom's already planning his first trip to
Disneyland when he's five, lol! He was a month premature, you know...he was born only a few days after mom and I got back from a whirlwind trip to Southern CA in May. We like to joke that he went to Disneyland, liked it so much that he decided to cut his swimming vacation short and come a month early, and he's been complaining about being jipped ever since! Poor boy. ;-)
