I just got a new computer lyk 2 weeks ago and couldn't write because I had to finish this project that was worth 460 points. Please don't kill me brunette-in-black!!. I'm starting off with Lizzy being 8. Sorry again.

Today is Asia's birthday. She's turning 9 years old. I don't like being younger than her. Sometimes she gets really bossy, but she is still my best friend. You couldn't guess where she is having her birthday at! Chuck-E-Cheese. Asia always has the best birthdays. Mom and Auntie Alice try, but they don't ever top Asia's. Sometimes it makes me a little mad when my birthday comes around.

Her birthday party starts at 12pm. Mom and I still have to go and buy her a gift. I really don't know what Asia would like. We don't really like that much of the same stuff. And she already has all the toys in the world.

Sometimes I think that if mom would let her, Auntie Alice would buy me everything too. I don't know why Mom doesn't let her. Sometimes that makes me really mad, and then when I asked her why she said "You'll understand when your older". I really hate when grownups do that. It makes me so mad. I get older each year and still I don't understand! I don't think I'll ever get it.

"Elizabeth!" Mom yelled from downstairs.

"Coming!"

I got up as fast as I could and made my way down the stairs. Even, though, Grandma Esme told me not to run in the house way too many times for me to remember, I did so. Something happened and slipped off the stairs. I put out my hands in front of me ready to hit the ground, but it never happened.

When I finally opened my eyes I saw that I was safe, in my Mom's arms. She was really good at catching me when I fell. Actually, everyone in this house was! I am always falling or tripping. Uncle Emmett says I am a "natural mom". I really don't get that either, because I've never seen my mom fal or even trip.

Sometimes I think that I have the perfect family. And they love me a lot too. They're never mean to me like some of those bad families they talk about in school. Or even the sometimes mean ones I see in the movies. Everyone is really nice. And Uncle Jasper makes really good food. HE says he is fromt he south, and that its "Southern Cooking". Either way it's delicious.

"Are you okay Lizzy?"

"Yes Mommy. Thank you."

"Don't mention Lizzy. Just be more careful, okay?"

"Okay."

As we walked to the car, I thought about what I should get Asia. I didn't want to look bad and get her something stupid. Then if I did everyone would laugh at me. Why did she have to already have everything?

"How about we get her that new interactive doll? She'll have to love that." Mommy said with a smile on her face.

"Yes! She has to!"

In the store everyone kept staring at Mommy. This always happens when we go out. Sometimes I like to pretend that I'm with a model. Did I tell you that she is really pretty too! When people stare at her she just smiles and keeps walking. I wish I could do that. When people stare at me I feel wierd, and want to run away. I just hope that nothing bad happens at the party.
