Abbey Girls at home (and at work)

I finally made time to read those unabridged copies of New Abbey Girls and Abbey Girls Again that I'd gotten - and predictably, I'm re-reading the series now. I won't re-read the wholeseries, natch - just the main books (not the connectors) from New to oh, I'd guess Maid of or so. This has been a slow process, because I've been busy this week. I've been bringing them to work to read on my lunch - I quite enjoyed the day I brought Queen of and tried to describe the plot to a baffled co-worker (baffled because she couldn't see the attraction).
I've also been reading quite a few blogs, including one that alludes to a relationship as romantic - and alas, as unreal and improbable - as anything I'd find in the Abbey Girls. But just as I like to read about Oxenham's unreal romances, I like to read about the unlikely relationships of people I know. Awww.
