So, I find this exciting.  My friend Cathleen just alerted me to the fact that the newest American Girl doll is from Belize.  I was intrigued and went to the website to learn that the newest American Girl doll was basically modeled after me.  Check this out:  "With her first step off the airplane and into bright tropical sunlight, Jess McConnell begins an adventure.  She and her parents are spending five months at an archeological dig of ancient Maya ruins in the Central American country of Belize.  It's Jess's first time out of the United States. It's her first time being home-schooled..."  (ok, minus the whole archeological dig part.)   I mean, a homeschooled girl who lives in Belize?  You know, for the first time in my life, I'm feeling normal.
