We're Short on Euphemism Today

my problem dear anne is that it is 2009 kids dont like to get all fussied up anymore and i dont think they would go to the trouble of making up stories about lost broaches to be able to go to a silly church picnic in my mind the little girls are wearing spring dresses and holding parasols with their gloved hands while the boys are eating biscuits and drinking homemade rootbeer with their hats and suspenders on but i live in a dreamland where i want everything stylized i know you understand me anne

i look for girls with purses that compliment mine

at 18 i planned to live the tahoe hippie life forever one day i felt compelled i knew it i just had to leave i packed up my car and moved to the central coast

and then suddenly and to my surprise i met and married the man i had no idea i was dreaming of but he was perfect for me and better than anything i had imagined or sought after before

my room is clean and im knitting

i swear nothing makes me happier than a peaceful space and some needles

im loving babies & mamas sunshine happy rooms and cool colors

i think they are so cute i love her litte handwriting and she is beyond excited to pass them out some other projects she and i looked at but didnt get around to (of course) from martha (of course)

i do have one faithful companion who is braving the germs penny the pug russell

ok its hard to stop i love every song

(but honestly i dont snack alot when you eat so much protein you dont get hungry as often through the day)
