Like many people, I've been following the Casey Anthony case as it's been going on. I didn't know about it until a couple of weeks ago, but I quickley found out that it was a case that had been going on for three years already with so many twists and turns in its story. After tons of research and following the media, I was easily convinced that Casey Anthony had been guilty of killing her daughter Caylee Marie Anthony and I was astonished when I found out that she had been found not guilty…

I remember when I first got them I had a horrible lisp, slurring my "S"s and "R"s and I hated having to get used to learning how to eat differently.

Summer is here (officially we marked the first day of summer yesterday), and with summer comes swimming pools, ice cream, hanging out with friends, and soaking up the sun!

Although my friends and I aren't overweight and we really don't need to watch our wieght (I can't stand it when a skinny girl says she's fat), we have noticed…
