"Would you please call me Cordelia?"

She walks in beauty, Like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright, Meet in her aspect and her eyes ~Lord Byron ~

Doesn't that quote just give you chills?

My excitement is mounting! Today is my last day of work before Thanksgiving holidays :D I'm actually really excited to go shopping on Black Friday because of all of the wonderful sales!! I'm a little apprehensive because I'm not a very agressive shopper and I'm afraid I'll have one of those experiences...like one of those you hear about, where some mean crabby lady grabs a highly prized item out of your buggy and snaps "I saw it first!" and she looks too mean and scary for you to argue. haha
There's really not a whole lot more on my mind today. Just the usual thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas and what I need to do and buy. I began watching Anne of Green Gables (the first movie) again last night. Those movies just enchant me! I love Anne and the way she always talks so dreamily. (Now I'm starting to talk like her, ha) In my heart, I've always been a romantic like that.I guess I love the movie because it inspires me to continue to be that way, to never lose that kind of spirit. Now I've seen the first two movies. I'm a little afraid to watch the third (Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story) because I've heard its nothing like the first two..its more of a war movie than anything. But I'll give it a try one day. I wish I'd discovered these movies when I was younger, but I still feel young when I watch them, so I guess that's good enough!
That quote in the subject line is from Anne of Green Gables, by the way. It's the scene where Anne meets Marilla (the woman who takes Anne in) for the first time and Marilla asks Anne her name. Anne says "Would you please call me Cordelia?" because she thinks it's much more beautiful than "plain, old, unromantic Anne Shirley". That scene cracks me up.
