I'm sending you an e-highfive. Also, Zara is just excellent.

Haha, that's sweet John! In the summer of 2010, I had each girl pick a country they wanted to learn about from each continent (Australia and Antarctica excluded) and the little one, who was only 3.5 at the time, picked Sweden for Europe. We made Swedish pancakes, read books about Sweden, she made her own book about the things she learned that week, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember. It was so much fun! And she still remembers it all a year and a half later and wants to go to Sweden when she grows up.

You can send me a virtual bouquet of white roses. They are my favorite.

I think I would die if I didn't live near a bookstore. I need to be surrounded by shelves and shelves of books on a regular basis to save my sanity!

What were some of your favorites? I love to read! As far as school goes though, I enjoyed the required poetry more than the required short stories and novels. I am not a Shakespeare fan and had to read way too much of his work!

Yes! Thank you, finally someone else who DOESN'T like Shakespeare!

Haha, not at all! I can appreciate his writing on an artistic level, but I still find it so boring! I had a couple of teachers in high school who were obsessed with Shakespeare and I had to read it constantly. Not fun!

There are so many manly tears rolling down my cheeks right now they'd fill the Grand Canyon in a day or two.

Extremely overrated, if you ask me. I think some people just like him because they're, like, "supposed" to or something. His work does nothing for me! That's what she said.

I've never read any Shakespeare, but you should watch the movie Shakespeare in love.

It's got a lot of his stuff and most of it really perfectly sums up all that love is about. I'm not a Shakespeare fan per se, but some of his work that they cited in the movie just pierces your heart.

ahahha weird I am a shakespeare fan, I started very young in middle school when they brought us to see the tempest, I loved it so much even if it was in english and I could barely understand a word I am not a fan of romeo and juliet however, my favorite is macbeth and othello of course.

not a fan of poetry, my russian literature exam was my favorite, I rediscovered Gogol' (brilliant, he's my favorite russian author), Puskin and Lermontov, I enjoyed every book of that exam and god knows how hard it was to remember everything
I also loved The planet of the apes, I had to read it for my french literature exam (it was about the concept of utopia and we had to read a couple of books, one of them was so freaking boring and so freaking difficult. I could barely understand what it was written)! Didn't like english exams as much though, the first one was all about slavery and its representations on plays, we had to read Othello but it was pretty easy, the second one was about Great Expectations and some australian author who rewrote the book from another point of view and I HATE DICKENS. god.

Aren't Swedish pancakes excellent? What did you have with them?

Aww, Viking tears!

If I remember correctly we filled them with strawberry preserves and topped them with fresh strawberries and powdered sugar. So very, very good! I have also made them with a chocolate filling that was so good it should probably be illegal.

Well, it's been fun guys, but I'm going to go eat lunch now. I bought some sourdough bread this morning that I absolutely love and it's calling out to me. Hasta luego!

bye shannon

Plugga, I have to agree with you on Dickens. I love A Christmas Carol, but that's where the love ends. Great Expectations is one of the worst books I have ever read. Miss Havisham...ugh!

See ya, Shannon!

That sounds excellent! Next time put some whipped cream in there too. And blueberry jam. You will die from the pancakes being so delicious.

Bye Shannon!

glad someone agrees, it was SO. BORING. AND PAINFUL.

See you guys later! I'm gonna go have a real life for a little bit.

Enjoy real life, Sarah!

I'll try! I'm sure I'll be back once real life gets depressing and boring.
