France

The little Nemo ride was fun- the usual bucket seat on a track- and it
ended in an aquarium. Cool! I saw dolphins! And manatees, and lots of
other fish.

Then I just quickly walked through Canada and the UK to get to France.
I had the best dinner ever- Cotês de Provence Rosé wine, started with
escargots (delicious), then salade de chèvre chaud, my favorite dish,
and finally an espresso. Can't beat it. I love epcot france. Now I'm
charging my phone in a cafe. I'm going to buy something with a fleur
de lis on it. Anything.

Yes, epcot has an aquarium

I had a very pretty horse.

Princess castle

It's no city hall, but it's cool. Waiting for Snow White's scary
adventures. Is the one where it sort of ends in hell in some weird way?
The haunted mansion was fun- my ghost was very dapper.

Space mountain

I took a lovely ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. Did you
know Obama is creating a director of Urban Policy in his
administration? The future is now. Now I'm waiting to sit in the front
row on space mountain. I will be screaming the entire time.

Splash mountain!

I got soaked shortly after this. I'm on my way into it's a small world
now. Pirates of the Caribbean was my first stop.

xmas wish list

I'm trying to cut back on expenses and listing out things I want helps prevent me from buying them! Plus, these are good ideas for me for xmas gifts. :)

Moleskine Pocket Squared Notebook
. You can find these at Barnes and Noble.
I use it for taking notes at my schools and at UW. It’s pretty small- like maybe 3x5 inches. It’s in the diary/journal section of Barnes and Noble. Can’t have too many of these.

JC Penney’s: Photo Collage Jewelry Box ($60) Would be cool— it could hang on the wall next to my sink (if there’s one with the hinge on the right side that would be best, but it’ll be nice either way. ) My current jewelry box is kind of overflowing. I like to see all my jewelry, otherwise I never wear it and forget I own it.

Clothing at Avenue (www.avenue.com and 10005 Holman Rd NW, Seattle, WA—near Anne’s house). Size 20. I like most everything there (watch for old lady-ish stuff and avoid that).

The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I know, I could just borrow Mom's.

I made a wish list on Amazon.com, too, to add some other random stuff. Click here to see it.

Almost forgot the most important one-- new programmable coffee maker! I hardly ever make more than 5 cups. I use it every single day. My coffee pot is cracked, and it has no timer or programmable start time on it. I really want that.
