My BFF, Princess  Silly- Box, (M)!!!!!!!!!!! (who may I mention I haven’t seen for 3 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!) came to see me!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!  She had moved to California with her mom, dad, and little sister, the ultra- fabulous; (K)!!!!!!! Bless the girl’s heart! The remaining inhabitants of their old house are ghost vampires. Just kidding! But they are completely obsessed with the Texans football team.But never mind that. I saw ( M) today!

Halloween Eve, and me, with nothing to do. I leap from my bed as Ma and Pa are asleep. My deeds serve them right for treating me as a caged animal. My nightgown slaps against my knees and my footsteps seem louder than stones. I see mom’s pie pumpkin, which she had picked to bake with. I place it on the counter and reach for the biggest knife that I can see. And I lean down, ready to slice the pumpkin down its middle. Only one thing stops me. The pumpkin is glowing! The lower I move my knife, the brighter it gets. I slam the knife down and run to bed. In the morning, Ma screams something about a spirit ruining her pumpkin. I smile to myself.

It was all a dream. . . right?

My dad took an ice bath after his 11 mile run last weekend. I wanted to see what it was like so I tried it. Brrrrrr!
30lbs of ice was used with cold water.

Okay, something  really weird just popped into my  little brain. If a girl chicken and a boy chicken got really close and you feed the girl chicken a slip of paper with a word on it , would the word come out if you crack the egg?

Isnt it gay,

When the world comes to play?

When the cat helps the dog,

And the rabbits play with the foxes,

And cats are not found,

In large cardboard boxes.

Something like an unseen force is denying my request to remove my eyes from their  permanent position… Glued to the box!

Happy halloween! Have a gooooooooooostey day!

from zeke (duh!)

It’s amazing how things change.One minute I’m a giggling,chubby- cheeked, drooling baby, being carefully placed on the rough,plastic  top of a playground glider. Next thing you know,I’m a Halloween- crazed, artistic, sarcastic nine year old.(Yeah right, MOM?)

Tonight, I was helping MY six year-old brother hang up the very same glider.I’m surprised it can hold me on it’s memorable top.(104 pds? Whew!)When I leaned back, I suddenly had doubts about it’s strength.

A lot has changed, but I’m OK with that.;)
