lizziegrace is the bestest friend ever!
I came home from the bookstore today and this was waiting in a box by my back door...

The card: "Friends don't let friends spend the holidays without decorations..."







Thank you...

26. Hiya!
How are you? God, I miss everyone -- I feel so...disconnected. I lurk every once in a while and I realize just how out of the loop I am these days. It's disconcerting.

It's sad.

38. You didn't REALLY just use the word "bestest," did you? Yes, what she did was very nice,
astonishingly nice even, and she's a real peach, anyone would agree on that, but "bestest?"

one of the peachiest ones around.
