I have been so busy…
Poor Liz Liz is bored out of her mind right now because it is summer and she “has nothing to do.” She has gone swimming a lot lately with her friends and gotten sunburned quite a few times. I hate that because I had my first skin cancer thingy burned off my neck this summer. [...]
