Hey out there!  Guess what? Melissa Gilbert is coming to my state! (I'm not allowed to say where)  But the only problem is that it's about an hour away from us. :(  I wish I could meet her!  Actually, she's here already.  She'll be here until Monday, and what is SO funny is that me and my 2 little sisters have been joking around saying "Oh look out the window!"  and then you say "It's Melissa Gilbert!"  It is so funny!  And then my little sister keeps saying "Maybe she'll surprise us by stopping by before she leaves!" But she has no clue who I am!  Actually once I did write her a letter, but didn't get a response. :( THAT would've been cool.  Well anyway.....

Last night we went out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory for my sister's birthday.  She's 10.......go wish her a happy birthday on her blog, MAI.  Well The Cheesecake Factory is at this really cool shopping mall that's outdoors, and it's almost like a little city.  There's apartments, office buildings, restaurants, shopping and even police riding on electric scooters.  It is really neat.  So anway there's a Vera Bradley (the cool quilted purses) store there and I got a Vera Bradley purse!  It's turquoise and brown and it's so pretty!  My grandma got it for me instead of for my birthday since she's not been feeling well and I guess she's afraid she might............*gulp*..........pass away before my birthday or be too sick to go buy me something.  She has blood clots in her lungs and she's not in very good health, but she's still Grandma and is still up and at it all the time, even though her daughters tell her not to. 

That's just about it and I have to go anyway.......so I'll be back on here.....soon?
