Spring Break is here!!!!! Yay!!!!!!

And I'm actually excited for the Easter Vigil and Easter services. Usually I hate staying up and then getting up at the crack of dawn and singing all weekend, but this year I want to do it. I got my feet washed at tonight's service, too. I feel very good.

I just tilted my head to one side to scrutinise all your books and squeed at the Little House :D Is that The Secret Garden on the end? And ooh, I think I spy Misty of Chincoteague?

Oh my god, I didn't even notice the dolls *headdesk*

Gorgeous! I wish McDonald's here would do cute stuff. Not that I ever buy McDonald's though so it's probably a good thing.

LOL! I love my books, but if I'd wanted them to be the focus of the picture, i would've taken the dolls down, I swear. *chuckle*

You're very cute when you're unobservant, you know that? Heehee.

I'm a bit of a book nerd, I admit it :p And I totally have mine organised by height order. By *exact* height order. 1/100th of an inch out *does* annoy me! Except when I'm in a hurry tidying, then I just shove them in anywhere.

I'm also tilting my head to the side to look at your books, but I'm having trouble. I do see Redwall, though. I went through a big Redwall period once.

I need Glinda and Elphie. They get cuter every time I see them. I need to find them somehow!

The Elphie's terribly adorable in person. I didn't know how cute she was until I opened the one I got. I wanted her originally because she was Elphie and who doesn't want Elphie, but now I'm so glad I got her!!!

If you want a list of the books I can write them down. ;p

If you want to write them down. It's not terribly necessary.

I went to a bank right next to a McDonald's today. It was very hard not to go in and check which toys they have... but my mom would have gotten ticked at me. Plus the McDonald's workers around here don't tend to speak English, so I don't know how well that would have worked out.

LOL. The people around here don't exactly speak english either, I think. I asked once for the "Wicked Witch" and they came out with Glinda and the Cowardly lion asking if either of those were what I was looking for. Oh sure, the one with the curly brown mane and tail is the Wicked witch. People just don't like to listen these days, I guess.

That's Mme. Alexander's version of Nessa, which I personally love. She's evilly gorgous in the original doll, but the little plastic McD's version doesn't fully capture that. I'm okay with it though because it's not like I'm ever going to be able to purchase the original doll anyway. I'll take what I can get.

LOL! I got all eight of them the old-fashioned way. Bargaining with the idiots behind the counters who think the Wicked Witch is the one in Pink and the Good WItch has a pointy hat. ><; Oh my home, why art thy people so uncultured?
