I loved this meme and have full intentions of using it, if that’s okay? Also, now I feel doubly bad about my late response to your quick response as I DO like you – very much!

The meme was fun but love your telling of your receiving your Duke acceptance even more! Wonderful!

Charlotte’s Web was one of my first books, too! It must have been an MCA thing. And to think that I was probably just an hour away on that day you heard from Duke. I would have zoomed to Atlas to share in that great time. Yes, I guess I do have some regrets!

It was such a unique experience! I did stats for the baseball team, and we had an away game so I knew I wouldn’t be home until late but I just had a feeling something arrived that day, so I called my grandmother at home–using the payphone in the school lobby (before cell phones!)…right near where they had put a portrait of Mike Diminick, actually….

She went and checked the mail and said there was a big envelope from Duke…I made her read it out loud (and she started reading something about financial aid, blah blah…no! The main letter!) but I still couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t wait to get home that night just to hold it–and *of course* the game went into extra innings!

I went back to the class I had left (Bio III with Mr Lep, the baseball coach), and of course everyone had known what I had gone to do, and the enormous smile on my face told everything…the class erupted in woohoos and whatnot. Was *so* awesome, and nope, I’ll never forget it.

*le sigh*

I can’t recall ever reading Charlotte’s Web, but of course I know the story. How lame is that? Did I see the movie? LOL

I love memes and I need a filler this week so I’m stealing your meme – stop over to see my answers. Yours are great, AS USUAL!

Looking forward to reading yours, Salena! Both versions of the movie were good too, actually, but I do prefer the original

This is going to spread like wildfire. Blogs are going to be filled with imitations

Well, I see our taste in children’s books are on the same wave length. A couple things from your meme though -I think you’re safe about if you go to church and the lightning. If it hasn’t struck me yet when I walk through the doors, I doubt if it will bother you either. Holy wars -(any wars, really) the logic of those things totally escapes me. And it’s good to know I’m not the only one who excels at procrastination. I think I have a Phd in that subject.
Have a fun day now -for whatever you have left of it. I’m staring at the 8 plus inches of snow we got on Saturday and just content to realize I DON’T have to go out in the cold today! Yippy skippy!

Thanks for the backup on the lightning/church thing…I feel safer now! And good luck with that snow…melting I mean…I don’t recommend doing *anything* else with it
