Hi...: The staff house is in the background. We are allotted one 12' x 12' apartment for our staff to live. Our cook lives there with his wife and three kids. Normal rent for something like this would be over $100 USD per month.

S said...: I acctually tried to hire her to cook, but she begged me to interview her husband, b/c she wanted to stay home with her 4 yr. old who'd been in the hospital with a burn on her hand. (she is out and doing well, now.) Truth is I think it was a good decision. ~A; 05 August, 2008

Books I want to Read but haven't because they cost money and I don't have any.

1.) "Inheritance" by Christopher Paolini. We actually have this book, but I have always been scared to read it because it has 849 pages in it. I finally decided to read it though. I started 3 days ago and am on page 252.

2.) "The Mark of Athena" by Rick Riordan. Even if I had money I wouldn't be able to read this because it doesn't come out until October 2.

3.) "Matched" by Ally Condie. It is the first book in a trilogy about a utopia. In the book the main character Cassia has just reached the age where she will be told who to marry. When her match is also her best friend she is thrilled. Even though she already knows everything about her match she is still given a microchip that has all the information about her match that she needs to know. When she opens the microchip two people show up, her best friend and her neighbor.

4.) "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak is set during world war two and is narrated by death. And I don't know much else because I haven't read the book yet.

5.) "The Demigod Diaries" by Rick Riordan. I want to read it but can't because It doesn't come out till August 14. Which is the day before my school starts so I will have just enough time to read it.

6) "Wish You Were Eyre" by Heather Vogel Frederik. It is the last book in a series about a group of girls in a mother-daughter book club. They face the challenges of life and learn to overcome them with the help of their friends and families.

5) Sydney, Australia

6) and many, many more

Things I want to do:

1.) Create a Smash Book (basically it is a scrapbook); I'm working on it

2.) Get better at running (I am on the cross country team)

3.) finnish putting together my bunk bed. My dad made it for me awhile ago, and now we are repainting it from purple and pink to green and yellow

4.) Get a 4.0 GPA. I was close at my last school but not quite.

Things I want to see:
