Ha!

I received a letter in the mail from my superfantastic sister today. In it was a headline from the Washington Post, for which she’d cut out the letters of my name and pasted them to the beginning, so it reads: “(Real Name): Cafeteria Manager, Jig-Dancing Yodeler.” This is the woman who wants me to write my memoirs and entitle them “The Fencing Bassoonist of Baton Rouge.”

I’m in stitches over here. All y’all probably just look puzzled.

Today has been a pretty amazing day. My Christmas cards have paid off in a big way!

First I got a phone call from an old high school friend. We talk about once a year but it’d been a while since we’d talked and so when she called I was really glad to hear her voice. We talked for nearly an hour and a half about all sorts of stuff, and it was great. L/L, remind me to tell you about all the energy work stuff we discussed.

Then another friend, one I lost touch with nearly four years ago, called. I just got off the phone with her after talking for nearly an hour. It was so good to connect with her again, and she’ll be in DC on the 19th (she’s a flight attendant), so I get to go see her and hang out. Yay!

Wow. Lots of stuff going on.
