good things come

good things come to those who talk to jarusha! i was chatting with her outside and found a four-leaf clover in our parking spot. Whoo-hoo!

Gilmore

I probably won't get to see G.G. tonight because his hideousness is here, and we don't get to use our tv.

I don't know why our email won't correlate. Sorry.

GG Again

For some bizzare reason I can't email you. So I just want to remind you that Gilmore Girls is on tonight and the drama will be getting better and better.

That mini-series looks awesome. I can't remember if I read those books or not. GG in 20 minutes for me, I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds like you and Erin had a wonderful time. I'm really glad that you have a friend so close now.

okay, I don't really have anything to say, except that I had a great time talking to Jarusha on the phone yesterday!! It was super.

Oh, Smoggi, have you heard about this? I am very nervous/excited, because they are some of the greatest kids books in history.

something new

Hey ladies, I just returned from finding something to wear for the wedding. It's not very period but is nice and I will try to send a pic later.

Well, I have given up on my hair net. I was just getting good at it, but I discovered the yarn I was using wasn't heavy enough, and it was coiling up and being stupid. I would have looked like the man who lived in the moon, with spaghetti for hair. =)

Anyway, I have decided to make a rolled hat, because they are easy, and we've got this pair of white brocade pajama bottoms that would be cool. I think I'll get some dark green ribbon for a trim, and I might make a groovy veil to go with. But that's just speculation right now.

I feel so much better knowing I'll have medieval headwear!

well then

Dearest Wog,

I will never find you too boring. Once the newness of my situation wears off I will be the same boring old girl you have always known. I'm not even sure if I really like what I'm doing right now, I just really want to fit in. And believe me, none of these girls will ever replace you. There is sbsolutely no way.

blogs

Wow, S, I caught up on your blog last night. Do you anything but go out and have fun?

Sorry to sound like a wet blanket. I feel insanely envious of your urban, exciting existence. All these new friends and new experiences ... sigh. It's not really that I want my life to be like yours. It's that I worry my life will be too boring for you to find any interest in it.

Mostly, I just crave a trip to Starbucks. They symbolize civilization to me nowadays--the closest is in Eugene, I think.

My sister might not be able to take me to the airport in October. This is because Bert's grandfather is reaching the end of his stay on the planet, and Bert wants Kristi and the kids to come down and say goodbye to the fella, when it's convenient for Bert. See, Bert's g-pa lives in Texas, and Bert has to work in Texas that week, so he thinks it would be dandy if K and the kids could come down and they could have a family thing. He wants her to leave the 6th, but she's negotiating for the 7th, so we could fly out the same morning. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he will agree. If not, I will have to make my way from Forest Grove (mom can't drive in Portland) to the airport, spend the night there (there's no way I can get from Heidi's to the airport before 6:30 in the morning), schlepping a 25-lb kid, 15-lb carseat, 40 or so lbs of luggage ... on the bus. Whew.

Okay, I should dash. Hope all is well!

Shoo shoos

Okay, so I don't have a lot to say. Shopping can be such a drag.

I had to return the Pleasant Peasant dress because it was too big. I am so worried about getting the exchange on time!!

meow!

Hey girls, I just got my invite to the wedding today! I'm very excited. D and Liz are going to help me find something to wear at Torrid. I can't wait to see all of you next month.

I enjoy school and all of the people that I am meeting here but I miss you all so much.

Last night we went to Taco Bell. It took 5 minutes to get there and 35 to get back. The joys of learning a new city.

Meow!

Hi Girls! I don't really have anything to say--well, I do have something to say, but it would spoil the surprise I have for Shayna, so I'll just clam up.

Big love!

Hi! Went shopping today and found Fiona's dress for the wedding. It is lovely--I can't wait to show y'all!

a side trip

W-I tried to email this to you but for some reason it was kicked back to me.

I don't know what your travel budget looks like but if any of these sound like
it would work I might be able to help out. I know Eliz isn't excited about a
trip to NYC but you and I might be able to work something out. So take a look
and let me know. I think Vamoose and Dragon Expressway sound the most
interesting.
