about me

It is important that you know that my middle name is Anne (spelled with an "e"). It is my mother's middle name and my grandmother's middle name. It is the name of my favorite character, Anne of Green Gables. I want to be Anne of Green Gables, red hair and all. When not blogging, I love twirling and dancing to my favorite music on our smooth concrete floor.
