I just thought it would be great for the costume box.  It has a nice
old-fashioned period look, don't you think.  It looks way to innocent
for Halloween.  For a corpse bride, I think you want a little more
ta-tas showing--you know--the old "sex plus violence" theme.
And as for Hell, I'm guessing putting blood on a lovely white dress is
going to be the least of your problems.  JK'08.   ;-)

What on earth would you do with that dress?  It barely fits me! And
it's creepy and old.  I think it's cool to have an awesome halloween
costume that isn't showing off my ta-tas.  But maybe I'll keep
looking.... for your sake.

Oh and you didn't answer the question, will I go to hell for
alterating it? (with blood?)

R: Did your mom really say your going to hell for other things AND use the phrase JK'08????  I'm so confused!

A: Well she insinuated other things, you can see destroying a dress is
the least of my problems, assuming I do have problems.  BUT YES! She
did say JK'08! How hilarious!!

R: Dude your mom rocks!

Spider Bite...

Email conversation:

A: What are the symptoms to a brown recluse spider bite? And what does the bite site look like? The sooner the info the better.
Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

R: what!   ummm... look for bite marks.  it'll look like a big swollen mosquito bite.  And go to the hospital.

A: Its not big and swollen. And I need to know symptoms to see if it is a bite. And I'm fine exept my leg hurts. What are the symptoms.

R: 

What are the symptoms of a brown recluse spider bite?

Venom from the brown recluse spider usually causes local tissue damage. The following are the most common symptoms of a bite from a brown recluse spider bite. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:

  • burning, pain, itching, or redness at the site which is usually delayed and may develop within several hours or days of the bite
  • a deep blue or purple area around the bite, surrounded by a whitish ring and large red outer ring similar to a "bulls eye"
  • an ulcer or blister that turns black
  • headache, body aches
  • rash
  • fever
  • nausea or vomiting

These symptoms of a brown recluse spider bite may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.

Treatment for a brown recluse spider bite:

Specific treatment for a brown recluse spider bite will be determined by your physician. Treatment may include:

  • Wash the area well with soap and water.
  • Apply a cold or ice pack wrapped in a cloth, or a cold, wet washcloth to the site.
  • To protect against infection, particularly in children, apply an antibiotic lotion or cream.
  • Give acetaminophen for pain.
  • Elevate the site if the bite occurred on an arm or leg (to help prevent swelling).
  • Seek immediate emergency care for further treatment. Depending on the severity of the bite, treatment can range from administering corticosteroids and other medications to surgery of the ulcerated area. Hospitalization may be needed.
  • Prompt treatment is essential to avoid more serious complications, especially in children.


A: See it doesn't look like a bite. It itchef petty bad yesterday and was irritated by my jeans rubbing against it. But I had weird random small bites from Chicago almost like bed bugs. And now my leg hurts like the bone like my strong femur. However my knee felt jacked after soccer and my ankle same leg got hit bad at warped tour. Now my thigh hurts

R: That doesn't look like a spider bite.... looks like a scrape.  Or VD.

A: Ha ha I know! But it itched! I don't know what's srong with my leg. It hurts!!

R: Ice it.  Take some benedryl.  Put some ointment on it (isn't that such a weird word... say it out loud with me "oint-ment")

A: Oint ment. Yeah I see what you're saying. Ok I'll take some pills.

R: Oiiiinnnttt  Meeeennnt.

Yuba City

I was writing an epic email about the trip so far, but I'm tired so
less funny and it was seeming a bit borings.

Can you explain how things in baseball works
right now? Like the teams are working to be IN the post season right?
How are the mets doing? I don't know cuz I can't read ESPN, I'ma
girl, I need a translator! But I also would like to know. And the
other thing, did you remember to turn off the ac for me? You are
great!

http://www.film.com/movies/story/erics-bad-movies-double-impact/11597472/22615523

A: That was awesome! I have got to see that movie again!!

R: Ha ha ha. So i saw tropic thunder last night..... freakin hilarious!

A: WTF??? I saw tropic thunder last night and it blew me away it was
SOOOO funny. I was laughing that really loud decible uncontrollable
laugh, you know that one, the laugh that makes you laugh cuz its so
loud? Freak it was so funny! RDjr I love so much!!!!!

R: Sweet! Ya i was laughing so hard that i hit soprano level! When he threw the baby off the bridge I almost died from not being able to breathe! We should have seen it together! We still should!

A: I DO want to see it agian, but the movie IS so funny I don't want to
see it with someone for their first time. You know how I ruin the
funny parts! Its so funny I wouldn't be able to hold back. That baby
throw was amazing! And there were a few lines in there I thought I
could use for my life motto and I can't remember what they were.
Seriously, my new fav person is Danny McBride. I just was Pinapple
Express "thug life"! That was pretty funny too.

Oh I'm on a trip and saw two movies in the 3 days I'm here. Yeah think
about that!

R: Ok me and you will go. And we can take joe because I don't think he cares if we laugh before the funny stuff comes on. We'll ask him

A: Saweet! I am so GLAD I am coming home today!!!!!!! This
place to sum it up, Yuba city is a giant produce city. We did visit some friends but they all
party. We have slept a lot, we got
those two movies in and we helped Matt move. And the day in San Fran
wasn't enough. Her mom made this huge feast
when we got here and it was AMAZING!


SO funny. I'll be home tonight!

Lake Michigan Confession

I'm not sure who's picking me up yet. But I need to come clean-i didn't catch those crabs. They are at the aquarium. That place was amazing! I love aquariums! I wish I was a fish too. Maybe not cuz then that would mean I would have to watch out for predators.

I caught the dolphin show which is a fist for me. And now I'm jumping on a boat to catch a boat tour of the city's architecture. I'm sad I'm out of time cuz there is a sweet museum of history right next to the aquarium and a planetarium. So beautiful here. You don't understand how clean and kind this city is. And this is a city that shelters the devil-you know by day it goes by the name oprah. I wonder what this city is like in winter.
I also wished to see the art museum and I'm pissed I just found out about frank Lloyd wright stuff out here. And its sucks cuz the trains and buses and boats are time consuming. Maybe that's good because these tours are not cheap. However I paid for the aquarium but I could have walked right in. No one checked for my ticket. And there are about a thousand kids there-gross!

Well gotta go. Call me after your game.

Lake Michigan


Look what I caught in lake Michigan! It was deadliest and I caught it! Ha ha

Chicago Update!

So I'm at ginos East pizza place. The best deep dish in Chicago. I'm alone so I have 30 mins to kill as I watch the Olympics waiting for my 20 dollar 4 slice pizza. But from what I hear its so good you want the pizza's autograph. Which is weird cuz pizzas don't have hands! Bonus-im listening to the clash.

So Chicago. I'll start with now and work my way backwards.
Now is ginos. Its like the real version of the pie! the pie compared to this place is like a miada to a ferrari. Real deal. Even the manager is obese so its that good!
Before that I tried to take the train here. Unlike NY the trains here suck at providing info to get where you are going and the web site blows!!!
So the second I got off the train I jumped into a cab. 7 bucks worth it! My life is worth 7 bucks. The city is very beautiful and surprisingly very clean. Get this even the homeless people have jobs! They'll point you in the right direction then ask for a tip! In fact we were so lost on the trains yesterday and no employee could help us. But the bums are quick and right! So the cab driver is so nice I told him he should join me for pizza. He was sad cuz he said I am a very pleasant person and would enjoy my company. I got his number in case I need a ride home. Wow the song from flash dance just came on. Whoa time warp. Okay so the trains suck. Before that I was at the hotel...
The hyatt is so lovely. They even have an airline check in kiosks. And automated check in for the hotel! My room is small but perfect. I took pics. Let see its pretty room with king bed. Shower instead of tub shower ihome for your ipod! How great is that? I was able to charge and rock out in my room while I cruised the internet. This is great cuz I don't have itunes on my laptop. Weird I know. The other cool thing about my room is the entire wall is a window. No view but so much light! And finally I can sleep naked! After all this time with the fam and sharing a room I'm alone!

Update-i just got my pizza. They were wrong. I don't want its autograph- I want it to KISS MY BABY!
So before the hotel there was the drive to return the car and drop someone off at the air port. Thank the preludes for GPS system for the car. Totally worth every penny!
Before that a friend from the conference and I found Al capone's hide out! Again thanks for the GPS cuz its hard to find. They converted it into a restaurant and it wasn't open but there is a lake pond like body of water there and the trees are amazing. So cool we found that. Some random girl we met on the train suggested it.

Before that was the conference. I think I made friends with the more important people there which I feel is a great career move and build up my program.
Before that was the day before. I ended the night hot tubbing with my new friends after we got back from the Sox Sox game. The game was great. I talked two guys almost 3 to join me. So glad I did. It was over an hour train ride into town then another 30 to the stadium. And we got lost on the way home so I felt good having two guys with me. It was that train that we met angelina! Such a nice nurse with a thick accent. She said if she wasn't working she would stay and hang with us the next few days! She was the one who recommended ginos the pizza place I'm eating at. She was great. Before that was confernce stuff. Before that I just got to Chicago and spent Sunday night checking up on emails and im-ing people cuz I was depressed and lonely. You didn't help that night either btw!!! The whole gamut of emotions of leaving my family stressed about this confrence scared to be in Chicago alone and Josh had surgery and I hadn't heard from him in a week. And then I called you and you were so not sensative about the ex story. But whatever.
Let's see. I'm done eating pizza and riding the train back to the hotel. Let's sound the trumpets that I found the train again thanks to the homeless man cuz that means 2 bucks instead of 30. But as I was wrapping up at ginos a bunch of 40yr old business guys come in. I have a great chat with one about Mormons and he was sweet. He wanted me to come ride the limo with them on their way to the strip joint. But limos are dumb and I was pretty lost as is. And the other crazy thing is as I returned my rental I became friends with one of the guys there also talking about mormonism. I got his number so he could show me around town when he got off work but didn't work out. We tried though. Really nice guy. Hope we stay friends.

So I think you are caught up.

Things about Chicago: its clean like really clean for a city and comfortably lit. The cab drivers are nice. Everyone is nice! Everyone wants to hang out or be your bff. Even the bums are nice and want to be your friend. The train system is like reading air cuz there are never maps around!! People in Chicago don't know where anything is. Not even local distances. If you are in walking distances of you place people still can't give directions. The city shuts down shortly after 10. Stores everything. I can head crickets in the city. There was also a weird sound like the langeliers were coming. Or a weed wacker for a midget. The city is safe. It feels safe and people say its safe. Still need to take precautions though. My theory is the city goes to bed at 10.30 so its too early for trouble to happen. The city is gorgeous! If I could get used to the trains and the awful accent I could move here. I'll see what tomorrow brings!

And I typed this whole thing on the pearl.

Have a good day! Hugs!

Andrea: I'm on the train and there is a girl next to me with my nose! And my lips! Diff cheeks and chin and eyes but looks like me! Bizarro

Me: Take a pic

Andrea: Too late. But I know my nose and she had it. She was strangely pretty. I guess that's what people think when they are me.

Me: Lol.. re-read that last text.

Andrea: Ha Ha! I hate predictive text. But in this case it fits! You know I meant 'see'.

My eye!


Your time machine can't receive pics. But look! My eyes are green in Chicago!

Oregon - final day

Mostly emotions all day:

Wake up: exhuasted and annoyed I have to get up. Annoyed I can't get george to get up.
Morning: Depressed, I'm leaving my family tonight to head off to
Chicago. Stressed because I'll be in Chicago by myself and worried I
might get lost or waste my time. Angry I will not get any sleep
tonight.
Afternoon: Cheerful trying to use my time I still have to my
advantage, but I am progressively getting annoyed with my family.
Afternoon at the Salvation army: Nauseous! It's worse than DI.
UNTIL....I found the coolest wedding dress that I wanted to buy as
part of a kick bum halloween costume. It looked like Gina Davis dress
from beatlejuice. It was $75 so I didn't get it but doesn't mean I'll
stop looking for cool creepy dresses when I get back.
Afternoon looking for a radio shack: Tired, I didn't sleep well last
night and I won't tonight. But radio shack ended up in a mall outlet
that I entertained myself at Zumies. Happy I got a new hoodie.
Driving back: Learning more about how george is a liberal
Early evening: I want a nap but the olympics is on....
The olympics: A flood of emotions and memories rush through my body as
I watch the swimmers compete. I miss it so much, it was me for so
long, I was good at one point, I hated to compete at the time but miss
it so much. I wish I could compete again, I wish I had the training
still. I have excitement for the win and admiration for the athletes.
I see them and relate, I know the smell, I know the sound, I know the
feel of the cold water, the fight to breath, the cholrine tangleing
your hair under a cap. The buttlerflys before the jump, the speed of
the flip turns, I hate that I miss it!

I best be going now. I'll call you from Chicago.

Oregon - Crab fishing: The Deadliest Catch






Hey, I have some time.

I tried to call you, but you didn't answer. Maybe again later
tonight. Happy birthday, your the bestest friend I have, keep up the
good work! So here's the 411 with crabbing!

This isn't our first boat ride, my dad even brought the crab measuring
sticks and eating sticks with him, so we were fully prepared. This
was the first time for Kiara and the kids. Kiara is a champ, she
doesn't like sea food at all and she is so happy to eat a hamburger as
we smell up the place with crab. (I like Kiara, such a sunny
disposition all the time and she is a hard worker, love that!).

So we man these boats, but unlike Old man and the Sea, these are just
tiny motor boats and I the captain of mine with Travis, Rachel and
Emma. We have 3 nets and you drop them strategically then turn around
pull them up and hopefully you have crabs! That's the exciting thing,
pulling up the traps! These specific ones lay flat and once you pull
it, it traps the crabs, so you have to pull fast...also adds to the
excitment. For 3 hours we try dropping the traps where they will come
up most profitable. MY FAVORITE line of the day is we pulled one trap
and it came up empty and Rachel yelled at the net calling it a douche
bag!!! right in front of Emma, I lost it it was sooo funny. Then we
passed like 100 seals so I kept saying, "if those seals eat our bait
I'm going to go club a seal!" The seals are notorious for eating the
bait, what is the bait? skinned minks.

This was the lowest crab crabbing we've ever had. We came back with
only 11 (my boat 7 the other 4, who's the better captian!!), but that
was at least one for everyone. Got tons of pictures. While we set up
for dinner I taught Andrew and Emma the rules to ping pong and
foosball. The crazy thing is Ali (or we are starting to call her Z)
loves fooseball! She grabbed at the handles and all the kids were
doing pretty well. It was a highlight to teach them.
Oh and another crazy thing about the kids....Z doesn't talk cuz she's
2 but she sings the theme song to Indiana Jones. Da da da, da da,
dada da, da da da da da ....... It's eriely accurate. On the boat
Emma was doing the darth vadar march song. Duh duh duh da duh duh da
da duh! Weird to see them do that. Well everyone is at the beach or
the store. I'm home alone and it feels nice. Big day with all the
whales, seals and crabs and kids!

Hope your birthday turned out great! Happy 30th!

Oregon - Late Drive Home

Ha Ha! Deadliest catch, that's friggin awesome!

Well happy birthday boy, I wish I could be there. I hope I can write
enough in this email, but the kids are bugging me to play table
tennis.

If I was there this is what we would do for your birthday..... call in
sick to work, find a nice pastry shop for a light breakfast, take a
trip to lagoon but only half day, just the scary rides. Then rent a
room at your fav restaurant and invite all your friends, bring you
home for presents then after midnight bring out your
rented-disease-free stripper...blond.

Then a good nights sleep!

Well since I'm not there I hope you have fun and I'll let you know
what's going on.

Yesterday we had to pick up ryan. I started getting sea sick because
my dad moves the wheel back and forth rather quickly. Like he gets
distracted, drifts half an inch and jerks it back. I tell him about it but he
gets fussy if I bring it up. Then Ryan misses his flight....of course he does. So we go to
the mall for some eats and a movie. What movie.....you guess it
Sisterhood of the Traveling poo, I mean pants! Where did that come
from. It's bad enough that I'm reading a teenage romance, but then I
watch a teen movie with FOUR sappy love stories. Heavens.
So we pick up Ryan, and I bump into someone from Springville (running
into someone I know-check).

The drive home, my favorite part. It's dark and we are really tired.
But I drop this line "Uhm I don't think this looks framilar" Ryan
being the McGroober he is with his new fancy blackberry pulls up the
GPS and tells us we are on the wrong road. We are on the wrong road,
but close so no biggie....UNTIL we end up Bum dung You Got a Pretty
Mouth territory. I'm just laughing between my observation of we're in
the wrong direction (at night) my mom looking at a map (who does
that?) and my dad's commentary of where we are.

We make it home and there were so many things I was trying to remember
to tell you but I was so tired 2am utah time!! My dad's a champ,
wasn't sleepy. I had werid dreams of breast feeding my baby girl and
other such randomness.

Well the crabs are calling and I'm not talking about my std. But
guess what, we totally watched a whale out on our deck. Geo and I run
to the ocens edge in our PJ's to see it again. IT WAS AMAZING. Have
you seen a whale? I have! It's pretty cool. And the kids saw it too!

These kids are full of energy. Gotta go!

Oregon Text - Dad can't drive but Regan is funny!

Text:
My dad is an interesting driver! I have such a headache! I just talked to Regan on the phone. It felt nice to laugh that hard again!

Oregon - Airport

baby, all we are doing today is picking up Ryan from the airport and
waiting for Travis to show up with his Family. So nothing exciting to
write about. I'm going to go crazy with that many people in the house
though. BUT no fret my dear, we booked two boats to go crab fishing
tomorrow. That should be an awesome tale to tell. THEN I should load
up some pictures. And Suday I'm off to the windy city.

I kid you not, I almost stopped reading twilight. It is so f-ing
cheesy I can't handle it anymore!!! Crap what was the part....well it
was the first time he was hanging out with her in her room. So dumb.
Georgiana tries to talk me out of the cheesyness by telling me "don't
you want someone you love unconditionally?" Yeah but these are high
school students, they hardly know each other, and the guy is a total
loser!

But I continue....

Got go. bye

Oregon - Run details and more Twilight

It's funny cuz we 3 kids are always on our lap tops. Mom just took a
nap but we are headed out to the blow hole when she wakes up!

Good heavens, the blow hole, no secrets there! Wish i had someone here
to make jokes about that place. I'm going to rename it the glory
hole! hee hee SICK!

Maybe tonight I will load some pictures. As of now I will tell you
about my run.

I have this urge to run south, I don't know why. Maybe cuz we stayed
at another house here before and I want to see it. Running is sucky,
especially since I can't breathe right. The town of yachats is 2
restaurants and 3 souviouners places and one "Valley Market". I past
right through the town, over the birdge and I'm back to a road for
houses on the coast. The mist engulf the houses on the mountain side,
I can see out at sea but not that far. I've run far enough I can't
see our place through the mist. I find the house we had, there are
people inside of it. All the houses here are so cute and quaint I
can't take my eyes off of them and stare at the sea like I should. I
keep walking (no more running) and the foliage is thick, I end up
finding my self in someone's driveway. Oops. I head back, this time
on the lava like rocks against the water. I find my first star fish
of my trip and announce to myself my favorite fish is Star fish from
here on out. I'm excited to trail run on the rocks instead of boring
run on the streets. I find a ledge that I can perch on, and I sit
there with my knees up watching the tide come in. It is so
fantastically placed that as I watch the tide come in I feel I just
hover over and the water passes right under me. I soak in the weird
feeling and I get distracted by the waves crashing splashing 5 feet
high 20 yards away from me. I get excited and look for more
tidepools. The rocks are so jagged that I am propelling myself to
different levels and jumping high and low letting my sneakers grip
onto the rocks. I feel so powerful. This goes on for a while but I
push myself homeward so my familiy doesn't have to wait much longer
for me. I come to a break in the rocks and it's all hard sand from
here on out. I run. If it wasn't for the people all I could see is
grey. The mist hide everything, the ocean and sand all blend into
one. I felt like I was in a dream where one claims they are lost. I
keep running. I hear a baby cry. My next decision is crossing the
river and get wet or climb up the stairs and cross over the bridge. I
fight the urges to jump across the rocks that lead (or don't lead I
should say) to the other side and take the bridge. I conncect back on
to the road that is tiny houses vs the coast. There is a parking lot
with a patch a grass. I search for the whales while I finish with
stretches. I see one? maybe.... I few yoga poses and then back to
the house. Fully sweaty, not what I expect cuz the climate is so cold
here. It feels like Oct for Utah.

Tired legs i jump in the shower. The mirrors are placed so nicely
(you know how much I like mirrors) and I realize what a cute tushy I
have. I giggle away in the shower. Now I wrote you the beautiful
email.

Descriptive I know, but that's what you get when you read Stephanie
Meyers. Edward doesn't exisit but then again vampires are huge
sudcutors! That's all I can explain it as. Lets say Edward wasn't
attractive or looks like Joe in his Megaplex pass (total predator), and then pulled
those shinanigans. Girls would
just think he's creepy. BUT because he's hot and perfect, girls have
the biggest boner for the guy. Not fair to the Joes of the world. I
think Edward is just a player and that this bella should die for her
decisions or become a vampire. Whatever. I am just past the part of
him "glowing" in the meadow and took her for a run. So dumb, the
writing is so harliquin. Glad I read 1984 before this. Big
difference in stories.

Oregon - A Run

Andrea: I just went for a run! It was fantastic and you know how much running sucks!
The coast is pretty,
Taking a shower now,

Oregon - Family

Well my mom kind of makes it a big deal to make everyone happy
(because she's a pleaser) but she then makes a big deal about NOT
making everyone happy so she doesn't have to be stressed about it. So
now it's interesting to hear everyone talk about trying to make
everyone happy, AND not trying to make everyone happy. And the
best way to do it is just ask. So we are stuck with
these questions "Does Travis and his family want to go crabbing?" I
asked "did you call him?" "well no we think...." Hello, just call the
guy! I just listen to 30 mins of where is Ryan going to sleep
chatter! Oh boy.

Last night Darwin, Kiara, Geo and I talked about the gospel. It was
nice hearing testimonial side of my family. I enjoyed
and agree that I'm ready to start saying my prayers again. Kiara is
really kind, really sweet, innocent and pretty smart. I really like
the girl. Geo is reading mostly, 75 pages left of the new vampire
book.

I got a message from Tommy asking for my number. I assumed being
engaged he just deleted me. He said it was because he switched to the
iphone and lost it then. Sure.....

Hope that is enough for ya!

Oregon - Early to rise and Twilight

Two things, my family wakes up at 6:30am WTF. They keep ditching me
and Geo and making breakfast with out us..

And twilight is sooo dumb, it's a teenage girl wet dream. You can
tell a girl wrote it because a guy NEVER asks "what are you thinking"
nor does he ask it that much. This is besides the fact he can read
everyone ones mind except her. The only reason a guy would ask that
to fake care so he can get in her pants. Lets be honest, GUYS hate it
when girls ask that question.

The weather is really misty, cloudy beautiful. I think I got a pretty
b/w of me with the clouds in the background.



So what's happening in SLC? How is my place? I saw the BASh line up,
looks a lot better than I thought! SO many teens are going to have the
biggest boner for Atryue.

K Bye!

Oregonia

Okay. But I read slow. But let's see what happens.

I should be saving that money for when the car breaks down but I really think I can be done with school by the time I'm 30. Then off to another career. A new adventure!

Oregon... Grad school?

Service!

Okay I'll look at prep stuff online and when I get back we can make a deal about studying. My car will be paid off in a year and a half so I want to do school next year and use those freed up funds to pay for school. Or something like that. I don't think I'll go on the cruise. I need to pay off my bills so I can go to school. OR buy a new Snowboard! Hollar!

No game this week. I can email you the names and numbers of the team so you can coordinate with them.

And you are so right this place its just like forks. Ha ha

Oregon - GMAT and iphone

Well there have been some amazing "that's what she said" jokes I held back on because they were too much for the family.

And I meant for YOU to study the GMAT while I'm gone. But now that
you mention it...I might as well. There really isn't reasons why I
shouldn't. Honestly I think that's why I'm getting those weird
feelings when I'm home. I don't like the feel of routine anymore, I
want to be challenged. I want something that makes me work hard. I
need goals in my life, something to better myselft. School is always
hard for me, but maybe I need it right now.

And the iphone, really you can do anything just at a touch, you have a
shiny flat screen, you can activiate through telekentic thinking
but you can't get pic messages? Really? Really?

I'll get that pic to you, don't worry.

Have fun at work!

On the way

I took an awesome picture for you on my phone, but it looks like I got
no reception out here.

Well it's really beautiful, cold, and really cold but so beautiful.
Oh and the smell is incredible! So far the fam thing is going alright
Darwin is really funny in a way I'm not used too. I totally see how he
and his wife are meant for each other. But it is definatly clear that
I am the funniest one in the family. At least by my standards!!!
(that doesn't even make any sense). Well I usually don't make sense.

Well I wanted to drop a note because texting and talking isn't working
out so well here. my dad has service so maybe if I get really
bored....

Kind of weird it's monday. Hope you are enjoying the iphone and let
me know what you decide about work whenever that happens. While
I'm gone study for that GMAT!

I hope you don't miss me too bad, I know how after a weekend you get
soft. Well this is going to be a long trip! Feel free to email me
whenever, I'll be here.

love dre

Introduction

This blog is the chronicle the adventures of Andrea as she is gone for most of August and part of September 2008. She is unaware that I'm using her emails and texts for this, but I think she will enjoy it!

Also, maybe she could continue to post stuff in the future because she really is a one of a kind and her take on life and experiences should be enjoyed by more people than just us.
