My Princess Diary: Happiness on April 8th.

Princess

When things are horrible--just horrible--I think as hard as ever I can of being of princess. I say to myself , "I am a princess." You don't know how it makes you forget.

"It's true," she said. "I do pretend I am a princess. I pretend to be a princess so I can try to behave like one."

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and...I believe in miracles.

The lovely Mr. and Mrs. Duck

A few invisible chickens

An ADORABLE kitty-cat named Percy (after the Greek hero Perseus. And Percy Jackson. Who is also named after the Greek hero Perseus.)

A ridiculously beautiful and friendly Pomeranian named Pascha

Also an African Gray Parrot named Sassy and some baby chicks that I forgot to get pictures of. Next time. Sassy's kind of scary because she likes to bite, but she always lets me pet her head. It's really fun to pet a parrot's head.

So, as the saying goes, "Distance makes the heart grow fonder." Or some such thing. Oh, someone is singing "Call Me, Maybe" in our lobby. I wonder who it is.

Oh they are serenading someone. Anyway, yeah, it was good to take a break from college, because now all my friends are happy to see me and I love them even more because I missed them! I wonder if I'll actually be sad to be home. Hmmm...

One more exciting piece of news, that happened about half an hour ago. I got engaged! He proposed after Ward Prayer with a cupcake. It's kind of an inside joke. But you know how every time a girl gets engaged she posts a million pictures of the ring on Facebook? Here's my version:
