Hah! To a certain extent, yes. IIRC, Anne never even ends up doing any work around the farm, except maybe bringing the cows in occasionally, or collecting eggs. She's all about the domestic arts. Whereas doesn't Laura have to go pick locusts off the crops at one point, and help haul water and all?

I remember during the long winter, Laura helps her dad twist straw into fuel for the fire. Her hands get so rough from it she wonders if she'll ever be able to sew again without the thread catching on her callouses.

Anne was written by a woman who grew up solidly middle-class (her paternal grandfather was a Canadian Senator) and Laura was written by, well, Laura - the daughter of a hardscrabble and neither provident nor lucky farmer.

I would love to go to Morocco and see what I could find about Murat Reis, my pirate ancestor.

This place looks seriously awesome. I'm seriously thinking it. Maybe Octoberish if I can find someone who wants to go.

I used to be one of those people who always kept up with my work e-mail. Everything was answered, filed, dealt with... I used to rib people who had old unread e-mail hanging out in their inbox.
Today, I have 46 e-mails in my inbox and 31 of those are unread. Blarg.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am so obsessed with the Living Social travel deals! I just sent one to my mother today, as a possibility for her and my dad.
