Yeah!! They've shipped my computer! I'm so excited!!! :) Maybe I'll get it this week?? That would be so awesome!

Well, my American Govt. class is going well so far. I take a test tonight, so I'll know more after that... LOL! I finished my paper for the class last night. I'm hoping it's ok!! I get so nervous about these things. My dad wants to read it, but I'm funny about letting people read my papers. I'm critical enough, I can't imagine what others think. I'm not even sure if I did it right... I'm afraid it may be too much like a book report. Oh well, it's done, it should be off my mind, but it's not. All I dreamt about last night was the Clinton's. Ugh, that's the last thing I want to be dreaming about. I don't think I can even watch the Oprah interview today! :)

On another note, I'm getting close to the end of Anna Karenina. It's so good, probably one of the best books I've ever read. Tolstoy's writing is so modern it could've been written yesterday instead of in the 1800's. He brings up so many issues that I struggle with and I'm sure many others struggle with as well. I definitely recommend this book. And I know it's silly, but I thank Oprah for bringing the classics to us mainstreamers who might not have noticed them before if it weren't for her.

In the book one of the Characters (Kitty) is doing Broiderie Anglaise. This really interested me so I had to google it! LOL! Here's what I found out about it...

That's all for now! I'm really hoping to get some stitching done today, maybe I'll finish up my quaker strawberry!??
