Dear Diary

My life has gone to the nut house, where should I start!

Nick has pulled me in to his plan to proposal for Mia, Lilly Moscovitz and Princess Asana hate me. This tops it all off, I'm betrothed to Count Stavros Phillip Alain Dashiall a man I have only met once last night, (He was gorgeous.)

Well the begging will work. I was on my way down to the ballroom in a gorgeous gown of green silk. When Nicky stopped me and asked for my help with his proposal, yes that what I wrote his proposal to Mia, he had has to go Pairs to get the ring. Baicely he wanted me to seek him on Christmas Eve (did he forget the Christmas Eve ball and Midnight Mass after that and I would have to be there.) I asked him why did not just come in while everyone was at mass. (I know Nick is very smart, but why did he not think of that.) He told me he knew that and would come in to the palace when everyone was at mass. But the thing he wanted me to do was have Mia sit down, after she as queen has hand out the smallest gifts to everyone in our family and to get to shut her eyes and surprise her when he came in. I had to say okay. I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek and told him good luck. Unknown to me, Lilly and Asana saw me.

After I had gone in to the Ballroom and vowed my loyalty to Mia and Cousin Pierre placed a small crown like Mia's only it had green stones in it. When my Grandfather David Misaloe said he wanted me to meet some one, if I had only known I would have run the other way. This is what he said word for word. "I would like you to meet your betrothed Count Dashiell." To me in front of a man, who was tall, dark, and what ell's but handsome. I was shocked. I asked my Papa what in the world he was talking about and said that I have been betrothed to him since I was three. Then Count Dashiell who could tell that this all new to me asked if we could talk tomore and before I could say anything three beautiful little girls came up to us. The smallest (who had the biggest brown eyes) asked me 'are you going to be our new auntie, Your Grace'. I then ask Count Dasheill who might these beautiful young ladies be? He told me that they are his nieces. I knew I should at lest talk to this man, so I motioned Charlotte over and asked when I free tomore she told me two in the afternoon for forty-five minuets, he told me that would be fine. Then the one who looked to be in the middle of the other two in age said to Count Dasheill 'ask her to dance silly'.

"Well, my niece Elsa thinks I should ask you to dance Your Grace, My I have this dance Your Grace." I quote and I did say yes, to the dance.

So that covers most of last night.

Today I start my duties as the Grand Duchess, first I am to inspected the royal guard at the Winter Palace, with Mia ridding side saddle not that I mined the side saddle, it's the floor length ridding habit I have to where. Then a brunch meeting with parliament, after that Mia and I go the Genovian center for children's Christmas party, then lunch with the five ambassadors
who are staying in Genovia over the holidays, then I have my talk with Count Dasheill. Yes, still more Mia and I are to go 'Pear Gardens' a home for the elderly to hand out gifts. I then get time for a thirty-minuet nap and then I get ready to the royal tree lighting in the capital.

That is my whole day can I scream now.

It's not the helping others and spreding the joy of Christmas, but I had a twelve hour flight yesterday and I'm pooped.
