Mail call!
I dunno about you guys, but I thought the documentary was pretty cool. Everybody looked great and we didn't sound like scary people. Except Marie-Ange, because she let Blinky the Attack Umlaut get a taste of network exposure. He'll go crazy for more, I'm telling you. Never trust an umlaut.
Apparently TV stars get snacks, because I got a big box from Mom and Dad today. Chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, brownies, and my mom's homemade honey granola clusters. First come first served, except for Kitty, who gets to cut in line because she has unfair leverage with the snack guy. Kitty, you have to try some of these granola clusters, it's a rule. :)
Hey, there's letters in here too . . . nifty, they're from my cousins. Cousin Jack says he'll kick the tar out of anybody who gives us trouble, as long as I stop calling him Jack, which isn't going to happen because as far as I'm concerned if your actual name is Nathan Jessup and you sign on with the Marines you deserve every joke you get, so probably he'll only kick the tar out of anybody who gives us trouble after dangling me out a window by my ankles. And Doug, my cousin Annie thinks you're cute and wants your phone number. She's eleven. Up to you.
Hrm. Aunt Mona isn't speaking to Dad anymore, though, and about the only upside to that is no more cheek pinching at reunions. That sucks.
. . . Hey, this letter isn't from my cousins, it's from Stephie Johansen back home. Wonder what everybody's favorite central Kansas used-car-and-tractor heiress wants with me . . . "hope you're coming home for Christmas, my parents are out of town and we could unwrap presents?"
Dude. I think she's being a teenage rebel. Heh.
Man, I had such a huge crush on her in junior high . . .

*growls* Mine.
Will come by and steal cookies and

Ooh. Yay. I like it when you're all claim-stakey.
Not that you should in any way not come over and say hello, mind you, but Stephie's just this side of helium-brained, her brother used to trip me into garbage cans, and neither of them ever used to say two words to me unless they were "get out," because they were too busy being the kids of the richest guy in town. So you have absolutely nothing to worry about. The picture's in the garbage already unless Doug fished it out for future reference.

Why would I do that? I prefer my girls with something besides helium between their ears.

Well, she did grow up pretty well, and you can really tell what with the part where in the picture she's wearing random bits of wrapping paper held together with ribbons. And you have to actually see her in person before you can tell about the helium head.
Actually, I might just mail the picture back to her parents and play dumb about why I got it. That would be freaking hilarious.
