Shari, I too admire your determination in blogging and wish to partake. I mentioned your mention of a Christmas party to Mollie, who has been having a self-proclaimed Christmas Orgasm since November first, and she said, "Cool, did you tell her about ours?" and I said, "No," and she said, "Well why the hell not?" as she stapled pine boughs above the doorway in her waders (she is going duck hunting tomorrow). I didn't have a good answer, so I'm telling you and everyone! to please come to our house on the evening of December 11th and wear a Christmas sweater or something festive; you will not be sorry. That's the second weekend in December, Shari, so you can come to ours, and we can go to yours! It's almost too easy.

Last night The Bracelets, all three of them, were at last able to practice together in their entirety. And you know what? Hey it was really fun. Watch out Madison, we have a glockenspiel!

Nate, Soup, do you know where you're sleeping this weekend?

TODAY I REGISTERED FOR MY LAST SEMESTER OF COLLEGE!! I'm almost grown up! But what am I going to be?!...
