I'm racking my brain for a new, improved way to let you know you're more to me than what I know how to say...

Today Kacy Bass hid my lunch in the trellis that covers the florescent lights in the Chicken Shed. I had to stand on the counter to get it down, and even then I had to stand on my tip toes to get it down. By then, my <s>string</s> stick cheese was all warm and smooshy and nasty. Also, he bit into my carrots and then spit them back in the bag. That's also really nasty. So all I had for lunch was a bagel, but then I got some pretzels and a 100 Calorie pack of those Oreo chips from the back so it was better. Kacy Bass, while he is hilarious, is not on good terms with me right now. *stare* Just kidding.

I have been super good about writing lately. That makes me really excited, because maybe possibly I will be able to get some songs written. New songs are exciting. They mean I get to experiment with new things and try stuff out and mess with my fun instruments and be creative. I like that.

Tomorrow I'm going to the dinner theatre at North Polk for the musical. Bethany is the lead (she'll make a good Annie) and a couple other girls from church are in it. I'm excited. I'm going to wear my awesome new brown skirt. I got it for $5 at the Bass outlet in Williamsburg. It's tag said $40. Clearance sales rock.

I wish I was good at drawing. Speaking of drawing, here is a doodle I made. I'm working on coloring it in with the computer just for fun, so I'll post that when it's finished. For now, here's the original notebook-with-red-pen-I-was-bored-so-I-drew-some-stuff version.

Sincerely,
Mara Tenille

  1. Three things!

    1. I love, love, lovelovelove the background you designed for the computer. It's adorable and makes me long for summer. I want to keep staring at it. The colors remind me of cotton candy. *laugh*

    2. I found a scrap of paper from the Thanksgiving of your 2nd grade year. It is a list of all the things we said we were thankful for. *grin* HERE IS YOUR LIST!!!

    necklace

    3. Ben F. is getting married in June or July. *stare* Can you believe that?!? He's such a young whippersnapper! Oh,yeah. Sarah reads this sometimes. SARAH. YOUR BROTHER...THE ONE WITH NICE KNEES...IS GOING TO BE A HUSBAND. Do you get a fancy dress out of the deal?

  2. String cheese ruination is tragic. I am saddened.

    Hurrah! I have been uber-slow and unproductive about writing, lately; I am envious.

    Musicals and 87% off are equally and in very different respects lovely.

    I say you are good at drawing, only perhaps not in the style of the classic realists, and I would know, wouldn't I?

  3. Warm string cheese is just sad. :(

    But that doodle is really cute. I love the little pacman guy!


    Ooh, yeah, only like 100 days left until the wedding...
    I get a fancy schmancy dress, and a ridiculously cool extended family out of the deal. *eyebrow wiggle*
    I am not going to start bragging about their coolness though. It would make for a really long comment, which would break my sneaky lurkerness.

  4. Mara, you should post your new background so Sarah and I can love it together. I know she will.

    Is $35 off of $40 really 87%?

    And actually, technically, the $40 price tag was probably the outlet store price. It's original retail price was probably more like $60. Which doesn't matter because it was still only $5.

    QUESTION: What is the pen writing in your doodle? *squint*

  5. Approximately, yes.

    Besides, even if it weren't the correct percentage, 87% off would still be a great deal.
